  1. Have a question

     

    past week have some problems with my old PC.........  

    Start = all appears to work inside the PC case but Monitor says No Signal,  will often have to try a number of times...  [Monitor is New Acer curved]

    When it starts working the colour is greenish and blurred, sometimes the bottom bar is missing, and takes a few mins to get back a crystal clear picture,

    Just wondered could this be a Graphics card problem ? [is 11 years old and cheap at the time] 

     

    As the New AM 5 Motherboards + DDR 6 + AMD 6000 CPU have just come out [in US] want to wait a few months and hope the AM4 + 5600G CPU will go down in price here.

    The reason I ask: I look at this X96 Air offer and it looks like 64GB is an option. Can I order this box?

    Not needing a new box yet myself, so have not looked for best buy in 2022......... waiting for the Android 12 or maybe better Android 13 which is still in testing stage.

     

    Never had a problem with my 3 + year old X96 AIR

     

    Both the X96 AIR and MAX have the older Ram [DDR3]  newer boxes have DDR4  lot faster on Android 10 or above..

     

    Think if I was looking today would go for the X96 AIR or MAX, also lots of people appear very satisfied with MeCool Boxes

     

    NO idea......  Pos ?  https://www.lazada.co.th/products/mecool-kd3-android-11-netflix-4k-disney-youtube-streaming-tv-dongle-av1-supported-2gb-ram-8gb-rom-1-i3708401433.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.bestshown_1.3.14e336a6m6ROUE

    you are correct with the RedBox APP,  it does have free sports but don't recall seeing live tennis

    LiveNet TV appears to have 2 channels  'Tennis Channel'  + "Super Tennis' under International Sports

     

    Cisana TV /UK  appear to have 4 + from Australia + 3 are Live later this month

    From that page

     

    Note: Apps listed below generally work but I recommend you download and test few apps to find which one works smoothly. 

     

     

     

    Maybe use Google  --  Useless recommendation.

     

    Which apps do you use? For which channels?

     

    You claimed: 

     

    I have lots of Apps almost all 100% problem free + FREE  + Live Sports

     

     

    So why be secretive?

     

     

     

    So why be secretive? ^^^^^^^   NO not at all

     

    The OP is looking for LIVE TENNIS.....

    Why would I post items/channels I like and watch every day....... ??

     

    I have never looked for Live Tennis or watched it. so cannot post or advise what Apps are good for Live Tennis

    ----  as one backup I have = RedBox TV has loads of live sports  NO idea if Live Tennis is on, as for me is a backup to F1

     

    Same as the Android Box No idea there are loads of different boxes,  can only say what I have now and what I had in the past

    Forget about the specs, unimportant.

     

     

    Help him with the apps to get the streams he wants.

     

    Like which ones?

     

     

    FWIW, the "box" doesn't give you anything. The apps do.

     

    I too would be interested in sources for these streams.

     

     

    Maybe ask in a sports pub? They seem to have these streaming services nailed down. Although they seem to be constantly fiddling with them.

     

     

    There are some bundled options available, fee based, which have been recommended here. Have a search.

     

    example: https://aseannow.com/topic/1206614-expat-tv-options/

     

    Maybe use Google ?    I typed - Free Sports Live for Android Box ?

     

    1st on  1st page out of millions

    https://www.digitbin.com/live-sports-apps/

    just on this page show what is FREE and what is paid versions...

    Thanks a lot! Is there much difference between a X96 and a H96? The latter it says is Android 11.

    Good luck if you buy..... That H86 says it is a OEM  so NOT a H96 from Manufacture  +  alarm bells ring when I see   1 Week Warranty by Seller  !!     will it work after a week ?

     

    Same Box on  https://shopee.co.th/(now)Android-11-TV-Box-H96-Max-V11-Latest-Android-Box-RK3318-Quad-Core-4K-5G-WiFi-Android-TV-Box-4GB-32-64GB-USB-3.0-BT-i.535555091.10365030961?sp_atk=9ba2efcd-13ee-45fc-b534-f828b35a0d21

    = 1 year Warranty  + lot more expensive

    I bought a 14 cf freezer in January and filled it.

     

    The only problem I have found is I have not seen the lower half in 5 months. Don't know that I ever will.

     

    They need to make freezers like compost bins, where you can turn a handle and rotate them.

    Err, sorry make it yourself

     

    I took the measurements and found strong plastic baskets with handles I have 3 in the bottom + 4 lift out wire Freezer baskets on the top never found a problem..

    Thanks. I'm looking for a box which could give me the following TV channels for free: Fox Sport HD, Fox Sport 2 HD, Fox Sport 3 HD, ESPN, Eurosport, Sky Sports and (maybe?) Tennis Channel. I looked at this MXQ Pro Q96, it has 2928 reviews, far, far more than any other box. Could this do the job?

       

    I am sure it will, remember it is Android 7.1,    was officially released  Android 7.1. on December 5, 2016.

     

    MXQ Pro Smart Box Android 7.1 Amlogic S905W 4K Quad Core 64bit 1GB/8GB  [Used to use this one myself]

     

     See the difference on mine.....   released publicly on August 6, 2018. + since updated to Android 10 which came out in September 2019..  [shows on box I can self update to Android 11]

     

    X96 Air Ram 4GB/ 64GB  Lan 1000Mbps. Android 9 Amlogic S905x3 8K Bluetooth Wifi 2.4/5G

     

    OK is cost some 800 baht more.

  9. Android box 

    Remember if you buy one, the newest one is Android 13...  Android 14 will be out later this year or early next year

     

    Myself have had a Android box for years,  my latest is Android 10 - X96 Air. [auto updated myself online from Android 9]   far far better than the old models I have had.....  I have lots of Apps almost all 100% problem free + FREE  + Live Sports

     

    There are still sellers trying to sell off old Android 5 or 6 ...  there are plenty of Android 10 + 11 For Sale, so far never seen the Android 13 here

     

    May 2021 - New Android 12 is the 1st major change [faster/more security to name a few] in 19 Android updates..

    I know someone who was asked to put a deposit down before he was admitted to a hospital in BKK.  He had a bad case of food poisoning and spent two nights in a very nice room  The total bill was over 20,000 Baht and a 10,000 charge was placed on his credit card before he was treated.  In the end it was an IV, some meds, blood work and some bland hospital food.  

    I was taken to Private Hospital ER with a burst Appendix in 2004, after an examination had to pay 70,000 baht up front…

     

    Since then always use a Government Hospital [next Village] or Red Cross in BKK, you get the bill after, or if in Hospital for some days then get the bill every day = No up front bills  + have spent total of 5 weeks in Hospital 2 x in Red Cross and 3 x in Sai Noi Government Hospital over the years

    At least you are not alone.

    Lots of complaints since months about these.

     

    You seem to run your own mail server/client?

     

    And I thought 18 spams this morning looking through my webmail was much.

    McAfee subscription, last reminder... very stubborn.

     

     

    100's of  last reminder McAfee subscription has expired  + sometime a rundown of all the problem on PC.....

     

    Never ever used McAfee subscription, so is Spam. + some of the so say problem never used or visited. !!

     

    Appears after awhile they stop without doing anything....  about 6 weeks ago got 364 in a day, now maybe 2, nothing so far today,,

     

  12. Still makes me wonder.......... got a message order cancelled out of stock on 3 different items from different Sellers in the week.

     

    Saturday evening re ordered both the Dog Food and the Fish Food  form the same sellers as before..

     

    Yesterday Fish food arrived at 10 am Sunday in Grey old pickup [Normally arrives next day on the back seat of a  Honda City]........ at 12:30 the dog food arrived Lady on a old motorbike.  she speaks good English has delivered a few times before over the years, I asked her about the Wednesday  cancelled out of stock notice  .... she said it has always been in stock  and the shop had NOT sent out the message order cancelled out of stock

     

    So where do these message order cancelled out of stock emails come from ?? had lots over the years.

     

    the other item my Diabetic supplies stated out of stock when I went to Order

  13. 16 hours ago, happy me said:

    Actually not so..we are in Thailand. And deliver locally around BKK.. only option is seller's own fleet.

    Live out in the sticks  55 km from BKK, and often get deliveries in a private car next day, or even on a Motorbike..  the most surprising one was 20kg Fish Food  ordered New Years Eve, it arrived New Years day at 10 am in a Honda City.

     

    Another item was ordered from Overseas [NO seller in Thailand had the part for my model]  it arrived by the Postman within 48 hours.

  14. Most annoying 

    Day 1  Order Dog Food they give delivery day 2 or 3 days

    Day 2 check order = Packed  awaiting transport collection

    Day 3 check again = got a message order cancelled out of stock......  err ? the day before was packed ready  for collection/delivery ??

     

    Re order Dog Food  from a different seller = this morning got a message order cancelled out of stock..

     

    Ordered 100 strips Accu-Chek = last night got a message 'order cancelled'

     

    That is three cancelled Orders this week............  Ordered Dog Food + Fish Food + Accu-Chek Strips from Lazada for years !!

  15. Never send my PC to be repaired, but if I had to for any reason

     

    Many years ago only ever put the OS on 'C' drive used to be a HDD a few years ago changed to SSD drive...  120 GB is plenty and cost less then 600 baht. for SSD.

     

    All the rest is on different HDD's  with shortcuts on Desktop + for me would be easy as my case has 5 HDD + 2 SSD Trays so could take them all out as nothing to unplug just pull the trays out if PC had to go anyplace...

     

    I feel sure you could copy/ghost  your OS onto a new HDD/SSD, then take you present Hard drive out before handing it over..

  16. Quiet 16" fans

     

    Used every day in bedroom and is now 19 years old  Hatari stand fan was expensive back then loads of function's never use..

     

    All my other Hatari fans are noisy... 

     

    newer fans have 2 wall fans Sharp  very good powerful and quiet..

     

    Lucky Mitu - have 1 x wall remote fan + a stand fan, not very powerful but very quiet

     

    Have a total of 14 fans in the house,,,,  ALL Fans are stripped and cleaned and oiled every month = many windows open 24/7 + have a few dogs so lots of dust and hair about.

    Yeah, sorry I copied that price from a January (InvadeIT-focused) spreadsheet, and it's on sale now too.

     

    I had specced 3200/16 GB but after plowing through many reviews upped that to 3600/32 GB. 

     

     

    Like I said, I am surprised at the price difference, which used to be ~ 100 baht on CPUs and MBs. Advice is the primary importer/distributor, and they rarely undercut their resellers. Not sure how to attribute this aberration? But buying from Advice is good advice.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Have 16 GB DDR 3 - 1600 for past 11 years no problem , so my thinking was the 16 GB DDR 4 3200 would be fine + better ? [more than enough]

    I'm using the Gigabyte Aorus Elite B450M @ 2,700bht (now 2,200bht).

    Good solid performance ...... is the 550 worth paying more than double the price?

    Is a good question, been doing online searches for past few months

    Difference B450 vs B550

     

    even the gigabyte A520 Aorus elite even cheaper is better than the old B450  ??

     

    Many searches = AMD motherboard with 6 cores and 12 threads but can be used with A520, B550, and X570 motherboards

     

    I picked the Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite V2 as it is also a good mid-range motherboard to go along with the AMD Ryzen 5 - 5600G mid-range CPU...........   My present Gigabyte AM2 motherboard [11 years old] has been the best motherboard and have used many over the years, also Brand New at the time FX 8320 CPU.
