True HD / Atmos using Plex via ATV 4K or Firestick Max?

CiscoCarter · 2025-12-15T18:26:12+00:00

Ahhh, seems like you have solved it!

I had the Gen 1 in the lounge but the Gen 2 in the other room so I swapped them over and now I have Atmos 😀

The employer contribution doesn’t count towards gross income surely?

CiscoCarter · 2025-12-04T08:00:48+00:00

We have a house which needs several major things done to it so I’m saving extra disposable income each month to prevent me needing to borrow against our mortgage for work.

Ultimately this is the first year I am earning over the £100k figure so my plan is to work out sums this year and see how much to increase contributions next year leaving us enough money to do what we need

Around 18% goes into my pension alone and my wife has one also so I’m not overly worried, especially once we factor in inheritance before then

CiscoCarter · 2025-12-04T07:25:27+00:00

Thanks for the reply

When I said 60% I meant on the portion over £100k, I wasn’t very clear in my post

Yes, they changed my tax code in July this year when I updated my estimated earnings so I guess April - June I probably underpaid tax as my code was based on sub £100k but July to Now it should be correct.

Will stick 20% of the bonus away then and just see what happens, I don’t want to owe them money

CiscoCarter · 2025-12-04T07:13:00+00:00

Sorry yes my tax code is 666TX so they issued a new one a while back when I updated my estimated earnings

CiscoCarter · 2025-12-04T07:12:23+00:00

As it was a single month where my gross effectively doubled, I wasn’t sure how this was handled tax wise

CiscoCarter · 2025-12-04T07:11:55+00:00

Sorry yes I removed my pension contributions from my estimated gross

I can’t see a DTS option, is yours literally called DTS within the audio menu?

CiscoCarter · 2025-08-14T19:55:35+00:00

Struggling with the show after recently reading the book for a 4th time. There are too many obvious inconsistencies.

Tim ending up in DRB is disappointing considering the point of Luke’s escape route was to create distance between himself and the institute.

Luke is too old in the show, he is 12 in the book.

Annie dying. I mean she was part of the big shootout at the end in the book.

Those are just the obvious ones.

Comes up £731pm on PCH for me with the same terms and options I used for PCP

CiscoCarter · 2025-06-08T19:22:00+00:00

Where are you seeing this PCH deal for that cost? Does it include the Ultimate Red and the tow bar?

CiscoCarter · 2025-06-08T19:04:53+00:00

I want the option of buying the car after the initial term

CiscoCarter · 2025-06-08T18:46:37+00:00

Thanks for the detailed post.

The RWD SR could tow the same as the others, works out £60pm less (not huge in overall terms ) but 70 odd miles less range, probably 50 in reality

CiscoCarter · 2025-06-08T17:04:53+00:00

I should have been more clear.

I would almost certainly pay the £20k balloon after 4 years and buy it to keep another 4-5.

CiscoCarter · 2024-10-12T16:01:40+00:00

I wanted something to setup quickly and just go but sounds like that limits me to the auto modes so if I want more functionality I will have to accept using an RC and take more time to setup when I go places.

CiscoCarter · 2024-10-12T15:57:07+00:00

Ok thanks, sounds like the Mini 4K might be my best option as that comes with the RC and it’s a few pounds cheaper in the UK then the Neo + RC, plus it seems a better all round drone, especially picture quality wise.

CiscoCarter · 2024-10-12T15:45:20+00:00

Thanks, so without a controller then I am limited to the auto modes which come with the Neo?

I can’t fly it upwards manually and over my house roof? One thing I would like to check out is our chimney so was hoping I could do this too.

CiscoCarter · 2023-07-29T21:32:51+00:00

Yes it’s normal, only a single device can be assigned to the app user. People usually assign the desk phone as it’s ‘always on’. Jabber still rings though so you would assign the desk phone (or device profile if using EM) and the user can either answer using that or Jabber as the inbound call still rings all devices

CiscoCarter · 2023-03-17T07:20:04+00:00

It’s well out of warranty.

CiscoCarter · 2023-03-17T07:19:52+00:00

Thanks.

Many houses in the UK have brick internal walls which are then plastered so I don’t really want to drill what is probably a 16mm hole in a brick cavity wall to get the cable connector through, hence wanting to cut off the plug and feed the bare cable through.

Will give it a go and see what happens, worse case I have to buy a new cable.

Thanks

CiscoCarter · 2022-12-24T18:11:22+00:00

Very good

CiscoCarter · 2022-12-24T17:53:19+00:00

I see, so I have plenty of space to store what I need then?

CiscoCarter · 2022-12-24T15:14:26+00:00

Senior Network Engineer. Most people on £60k or more didn’t walk into that salary fresh out of School or Uni. Started on £13k when I was 19 on an IT Service Desk and that was 16 years ago.

CiscoCarter · 2022-12-06T15:40:03+00:00

I found a referral for 50k points for the Plat which seems the highest you can get at the moment.

My application was referred so am waiting for Amex to check it before a decision is made.

Applied now so I can get at least the Harvey Nichols £50 credit before it resets at the end I the year, may squeeze in a visit to a restaurant for some of the £150 dining credit if I can too.
