I went to a computer shop at Kent Town and the guy there said they had a cheaper one (same brand) as it only did one channel and not two. Told me if it didn;t work bring it back for a refund and wait for the other to become available.
Bought it for $52, installed it last night and everything works better.
As an aside, he said they had never been busier with everyone working from home.

Wont be a drop off yet IMO, this thing will bite even harder in 3-6 months time, people are thinking they will be OK now but reality will hit later and they will have to make tough decisions on their house and the market will be flooded with properties driving price down. Unless of course we recover quickly and things aren't as bad as forecast, probably only a small chance of that.

I think I read that one-on-one inspections are okay (as they can easily enforce social distancing), unlike groups of people at walk-though inspections.

We have 20 houses in our street, 5 are currently for sale, all went on the market just before this started.

For how long though? They will be right for another 2-3 months on jobs that were committed prior to this, but with people sitting on their hands now I wonder what the medium term outlook is?
