Okay i know what has confused me here. I popped my 4K stick back in and although it is also set to Best Available, it outputs DD+2 and not PCM. Because when i use Kodi and passthrough isn't working it outputs PCM, there is a negative association, i assumed the same was happening here. God i feel...

I have just bought a Fire TV Cube and unlike the 4K Fire stick it replaced it is only outputting PCM audio. I just swapped it out connection wise, HDMI out on the device to HDMI in on my Sony str-dn1080 AVR, and HDMI ARC out to my LG OLED65E6V.AEK TV. Cube audio is set to best available. So...

All working nicely now after following the advice here. I've emailed CCL as to why they did not install an SSD!

Via the media creation tool.

Sorry to cause any confusion here, looks like I’ve been confusing a 500gb HDD which I added years ago and forgot about, with the SSD mentioned on my invoice. I’m not sure it’s even on board!, but that’s something for me to clarify with CCL. Either way you’ve given me plenty of useful...

Thanks for all your help so far, I will try again with just the one drive connected.

Recently I reset my sluggish PC with the intention to migrate the OS to an SSD for improved performance. I swapped the cables of my two drives to make the SSD the primary. Reset went smoothly but when trying to install Windows 10 on the SSD via bootable USB, it wouldn’t play ball. So I opted...

I tried the second method just to test, and Cortana just popped right up in fullscreen, so i guess it would do the same with the first.

I had considered it. How would i patch my existing Kodi 18? Using this method, how would i resize the window to look fullscreen? https://www.smarthomebeginner.com/kodi-windows-always-on-top/

I currently have Cortana set up to operate Kodi which works great, but after each command i have to tell it to close the window, it displays an error message and often displays in fullscreen, all of which is very clunky. I'm looking for a way to force Cortana to always run behind Kodi, so that...

Yes got the NordVPN apk now too, works like a dream, problem solved.

All things considered i think i'll go the router route, thanks all.

I've had a problem for the last 18 months, failing to get a VPN working properly on my Fire TV. It's a 2nd gen. model, with the latest software version. I have an account with PIA, but could not login using their APK, and i WAS using the right password and user name! Recently tried the free...
