There's an Octagon section in the forums:

The SF8008 has been out a while now, I've had one for a couple of months.

It's okay, regular driver updates coming out for it.

I don't actually use it at all to be honest. I will have a faff with it when I get time.

Down to a single banana now, 12 was too many. There should be a limit set in the rules :)
I was actually experimenting with putting a html link in for the ViX feeds but I failed miserably and then noticed you can link a picture.
It was that or sit down an watch TV with Mrs Willo

bringing back up your beast of a setup, what audio devices are you using? I was looking at surround sound systems today but I think soundbars fit closer to my budget.

On my little et8000 i use this little bit of kit.

mancave uses this on my et10000 in bedroom.+ subwoofer.

I originally bought it for pc in office but got the previous one working on windows 10.

Originally the yamaha soundbar was for front room but was not getting the full effect of surround.My new kit does 7-1.I love my sound and dont skimp on quality,buy a good one and it lasts.

I use a Vu Ultimo box in my main room and I use Sonos soundbar,subwoofer and 4 play 1's and for music it is awesome. I had a bose system before with surround amp etc but much prefer the Sonos but not cheap but it is very good quality and geared more for music. All depends on budget really but I got rid of all my hi fi stuff as taking up too much space and just play everything through my Sonos.

I think this may be the setup that I will be going for. A soundbar with an extra subwoofer. Does your soundbar support HDMI and Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos ,etc?

Just found this: A list of Dolby Atmos-ready soundbars https://www.dolby.com/us/en/categories/sound-bar.html
They are expensive!
