  1. If they have a smart TV already, then tv watching/ timeshifting/ recording would already be supported, just put a USB thumb drive for storage. I'm guessing this is not the case? Unfortunately google has recently removed USB tv tuner support for their android tv products ( I have an Nvidia shield tv ) , so it will be difficult to enable it. I have a HDHomerun on my network with a Synology NAS running tvheadend. It's a bit to config but works like a dream. In the end tho, ease of setup and use, I'd recommend a smart tv and a thumb drive.
  2. The upcoming Arc GPUs include AV1 hardware encoding and encoding. This functionality will be included on Intel CPUs from 14th Gen, Meteor Lake, onwards. You won't need even -F SKU CPU for building a NAS with full AV1 encoding/transcoding. Thinking these CPUs may also be useful as a separate streaming PC. So....No GPU will be required for an AV1 capable streaming PC or transcoding NAS. Neat! https://www.tomshardware.com/news/meteor-lake-plays-videos-without-gpu
  3. Resizable bar is for gaming and encoding? Or just gaming... Would be something to find out when more testing is done.
  4. Hi all! I'm interested to know if I could use an old motherboard I have lying around ( MSI z87 gd65 Gaming with i7 4770k and DDR3 ram) with a new Intel A380 GPU. The idea is to use it as a NAS with the capability of an OBS streaming server to Twitch / YouTube (I have a separate gaming PC) using NDI. I hear the Intel A380 has a great AV1 encoder. The old Mobo has a PCIE 3.0 x16 slot and the GPU uses a PCIE 4.0 x8 whatchcallit. Will there be a conversion and any loss in bandwidth? Thanks in advance.
  5. All we need now is for Corsair to aquire Discord to reduce the number of icons in my systray.
  6. Been waiting for Asus to release that since CES in Jan 2017....c'mon Asus..and in the meantime release the 65inch pg65 while ur at it!!! I want both!
  7. Hi all! Im putting together a new build (not the current one in my Sig below). The motherboard is the z270 mis mpower titanium which has a raised shield over the I/O. I have a 280mm rad (kraken x62) and 2x 120mm rads on the end of gpus. Let me start by saying I don't need a critique. I'd like to know what case would fit these rads, considering clearance for the rads. I was thinking the nzxt s340 elite, enthoo evolv or in win 909. Thanks!
  8. Aha! Just found the answer to my question. You can add a drive as a separate VOLUME. This allows you use it as a scratch drive to move files over with http://www.patnotebook.com/adding-a-new-disk-as-a-new-volume-in-synology/
  9. Hi all! I have a Synology 215j 2-bay NAS with a 4tb drive inside. It works fine and I want to move it to another PC and put a new 8tb drive inside the NAS instead. I want to keep the data from the 4tb drive and move it to the 8tb drive. Only problem is the 4tb drive is set as a Synology hybrid raid (shr) so I can't simply copy it. Any solutions anyone can think of?
  10. Out of interest...How does the Elgato HD Pro and Avermedia HD 2 PCI-E cards stack up in performance vs ryzen?
  11. Good suggestion.. I'll look into it, though I think that's a Chromecast feature which this TV doesn't and cannot have..lol
  12. Hahahaha... Yes... Pretty much. Samsung have this app called Allshare which has a web browser and dlna file manager type listing.. the USB port works and broadcast works.. just no HDMI...Samsung looked at found a fried board inside but don't have replacement parts
