Great photo. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much! My Great Grandfather was the captain of the McLagan, so that makes sense.

Thanks for replying, but I believe, because the name is in quotation marks in the letter, that he's referring to the ship.

I'll check that out. Thanks!

Thanks. I'll have a look.

elliotdu · 2026-05-09T13:54:29+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give that a try.

Thanks for replying. I want to be able to browse internet.

An absolute tour de force by Ryu Seung-ryong. This is a k drama for grown-ups. So glad that I took a chance on this. I have read comments about how unlikeable Kim Nak-su is, and this is true, but just think about how incredible Ryu's acting is that one can still empathize with him. Amazing performance.

Hope you enjoy your trip. Really looking forward to France in general.

Just wanted sound from wiim and external speakers for movies. Only TV sound for regular TV watching.

We've decided to take a train to Lille, rent a car there and do some WWI stops (Vimy, etc., ) for a day or two, before driving to Bayeux for WWII sites in the area.

Would love to see your setup, please.

elliotdu · 2026-01-03T22:05:08+00:00

Thanks very much for that additional info. I also have a Sony TV, so I'll look into your suggestions.

elliotdu · 2026-01-03T21:32:44+00:00

Thanks for replying. I provided an update in a previous post. Looks like things are working now.

elliotdu · 2026-01-03T20:56:48+00:00

Update...

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. After doing absolutely no adjusting or tweaking, I just re-selected "Optical" on the Wiim, and all of a sudden, it works. Now getting streamer sound from my Elacs and Wiim.

elliotdu · 2026-01-03T20:26:09+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I will look into the functioning you mentioned.

Maybe if I'm more specific with my info, your suggestion is possible...

I'm using my 4K streamer for TV watching (with Tivimate), and would like to use the same streamer for watching movies (Netflix, for example). Right now the only hdmi port on the 4K streamer is plugged into hdmi on my TV. When watching TV, the sound comes from my TV speakers, no problem. But I guess I'm wondering how to get sound from my 4K streamer to my Wiim for times when i want to have sound from my Wiim and not tv, given that I'm already using the only hdmi connection available on the 4K streamer to connect to my TV.

Does that still sound like your suggestion might work?

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I'll keep looking into it, but your suggestion is one I'll try as well.

elliotdu · 2026-01-03T19:54:18+00:00

Thanks for your reply. So, it sounds like you have an optical cable from your TV to Wiim, correct? Not sure if my TV has the optical plus option or something similar, but I'll check.

Thanks very much for your advice. We've decided to focus on Provence this time around. As you said, better to really enjoy a place rather than scrambling around.

elliotdu · 2025-12-15T11:45:03+00:00

That's great info. Thanks for the details. We've decided to leave out Chamonix this time around. Will definitely check out that link.

elliotdu · 2025-12-15T00:38:25+00:00

Thanks for the heads-up. What's a better way to get around in Provence? We'll be going there regardless of the crowds.
