I use headphones (Astro a50) so the only way I can here the TV normally is if I put them around my neck, but with the snap feature I can here both and adjust the sound for each. Can't newer Smart Tv's do the picture in picture thing anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh , how is it possible to watch and hear 2 things at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Because you can mix the sound, have TV quiet and game louder and works great especially using headphones. You don't look at them both at the same time, during loading or when having a break. I've always done it, I especially have SkySports News on while gaming or news channels. Like I said until you've tried it you can't really see how good it works. My TV has pip but you can't do it with hdmi (Atleast on my TV) only works if you use the built in freeview.

I'm thinking I'll have to rearrange my desk area anyway to make room for it so will need her help on this project. I've got a couple of little things so will wait for those first before getting it I think. I'm thinking about putting my TV on a wall bracket and having the console underneath where my TV is currently sitting but until I've given it some thought I don't know.

It doesn't stutter with my Sky+ HD box, it didn't work with the hdmi cable that came with the Sky box though. It seems if you use a hdmi 1.4 cable then it's fine, no stutter or anything. It's just a choice though for whatever suits you, for me it's perfect but won't be everybody's cup of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Maybe but Sky themselves said to use hdmi 1.4 cable so a lot of the time it was because people were using an older version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alonsofan46 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 DONE DEALBelgian forward Gianni Bruno has made move to French side Evian.The 22-year-old leaves for a reported l'eau transfer fee which is apparently a mere drop in the ocean with Evian having already signed five players this summer.The former Bastia man will have a spring in his step after moving and I suspect will try to find some sparkling form for his new club.Don't listen to the rumours he was tapped up, our mountain source tells us it was all legit.How are these puns for you by the way? Does it feel like I'm trying to faucet?The question for Bruno is though; does he have the minerals to impress at Evian? *Ok, I'm done now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 No I haven't but that's not to say you won't. I believe if your delivery is late they give you £10 so I think they try very hard to keep on time otherwise they'd go bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdMa Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 It will both, there's still a lot of money to be made on the previous gen consoles, and tbh it's only really a re-skinning job needed. Take FIFA for instance, they just release a re-hashed version every year and people still buy it; i'll be shocked if CM don't do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EA generally have more resources though and Fifa 15 this year is having quite a big upgrade this year to be honest. I also remember reading that Autosport was supposedly going to be CM's last game for last gen so I don't know what to think there. Anyway we'll find out tomorrow hopefully.

onetwothree Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 FIFA 14 on PS3 was essentially a re-skin of FIFA 13. The difference between 14 on last gen and next gen is pretty noticeable. In any case, I'd be happy if they just ported a last gen F1 2014 to next gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
