@maddox this. And as a reader outside the US in the UK it’s infuriating as completely irrelevant!

@eugenio @stroughtonsmith unfortunately it crashes for me constantly when I try to purchase, so can’t test it and it’s gone closed source behind a yukky discord group AFAIK. In any case it doesn’t support the live tv buffer which is a must. As now closed source I can’t (try to) update it myself, and the code that is available is quite old now also. So all in all … ‘flakey’.

@stroughtonsmith fair enough, I understand! Just a shame tvOS doesn’t have a decent TVH client, so was hoping I’d found it! Channels does alright with a TVH backend but that means I’m running two DVR servers (as Channels doesn’t really talk SAT>IP), and the Kodi TVH plugin is feature perfect but the design is 🤮. I started playing with it myself but couldn’t get the raw MPEGTS streams to run in AVKit, and VLCKit doesn’t support SPM so I got frustrated with all the setup for what felt ‘simple’ 🤣

@stroughtonsmith ha very similar journey to me it sounds! So it’s a client onto tvheadend? I’ve just given up on trying to force the awful Kodi onto my Apple TVs, started investigating writing my own client. Would you be willing to share?

@stroughtonsmith 👀 ‘custom satellite app’ … is that a SAT>IP client? How does one get in on that action?!?

@paul right. In the UK the Dell seems to be about a £400 premium (around £1700 vs £1300) for the better specs (on paper) and more ports. I just got rid of the Dell 40in 5k ultrawide which I loved except for the PPI. Trouble is a ‘trial and return’ approach is not quite as pro-customer on these shores!

@paul ah thanks, apologies for missing that! 🤣 Debating between this and the Dell U3224KB - haven’t seen you mention that one or maybe I missed that as well? The camera ‘chin’ is fugly but maybe the screen quality makes up for it 🤔

@paul do you happen to know what the scaled/“looks like” resolution choices are on an M4 Pro at all please? Specifically a Mac mini.

@jag AirPods pro 2 as the ‘daily carry’ and mostly for the integration. At my desk I use Philips X2HR which look great and sound incredible, especially with an AutoEQ profile. Very very comfortable. Try to avoid Bluetooth due to the quality loss.
