My system is effective if rather complex with two tv recorders and the hifi
music as well. They are all in a convenient cupboard while the TV is quite
separate on a table fairly close to us. The cabling is interesting and of
course I have six handpieces, all of which are used!. The sound from the
recorders (and Apple TV) go through a magic box which is needed - the sound
from our Panasonic recorders will not play via the Bose optical fibre channel,
a Panasonic quirk fixed by the magic box. The AV sound is fine though
probably of lower quality and I was seeking the best. The no go of the
optical fibre channel was hard nut to crack - flashing light was coming out the
end of the pipe but the Bose would not accept it though perfectly happy on AV
sound pair.
In a couple of weeks I have the joys of the NBN, though my current link is fine
and Netflix is faultless.
Best wishes
Severin
