    Further adventures in cord-cutting

    There are so many other ways to get local news. There are also all kinds of free news aggregators you can get via streaming, Haystack being one.

    Further adventures in cord-cutting

    Peacock and HBO Max work on Android TV and a number of Smart TV systems. I think they also work on some of the gaming systems. I personally use two NVidia Shield TV devices (Android TV) in my home, so I have no issues. CBS All Access provides a live stream of CBS. I think it is from your local...

    Further adventures in cord-cutting

    You can use either Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV or Sling TV. All of them are approaching the cost of cable (~$65/mo) for the same reason, which is that the content providers are forcing them into bundling. Streaming services provide a much better value and some of them offer live programming. CBS...

    Best Speakers to Buy Right Now in 2020

    When the time comes to upgrade my speakers, I'm going to call Flint. I would rather have him build something he built for me than buy anything off the shelf.

    Agonizing

    I highly recommend the TCL 6 Series, as I think it has the best picture quality anywhere near its price range.

    We binged it over a couple days and liked it. I would not rank it among the best shows out there, but it was well done and entertaining.

    Performance today vs. yesterday

    If we are talking about general sound quality and build quality, not much has changed. All of the connectivity changes are there to support new video formats, which has nothing to do with the audio. There haven't been any new audio formats in years. I disagree that there have been any...

    Performance today vs. yesterday

    I only upgrade my AVR when required by changes in connectivity (i.e. the switch from HDMI 1.4 to HDMI 2.x.

    Performance today vs. yesterday

    It is true with displays, but generally not true with audio gear.

    What Concert Video are you listening to?

    Qello ran a deal over Father's day that made it possible for me to buy my other email address an annual subscription for $49 (I was paying $12/mo) and cancel my subscription. Lots of concerts. :)

    Sunfire True Sub not working.

    I would just give the thing a decent burial at this point. Also, you cannot just stick any 8 inch driver into a speaker that takes an 8 inch driver. There are a lot of differences between drivers and the crossover in your speaker was build for the drivers that came in the speaker.

    Origin Acoustics Outdoor Speakers

    It looks like they sell some cool stuff to patio areas away from the house. I could see that stuff being useful for people with large patio areas.

    My wife and I have been listening to audio books on the back porch in the evening recently and are enjoying it. We are listening to Fool by Christopher Moore, which is one of my favorite books and new to her.

    Transfer CD's to Thumb-drive

    You can buy refurbished corporate desktop computers for a couple hundred bucks on Amazon if you ever decide you want a cheap machine. I've got one in my office running as a Plex server. They are older, but that does not mean much these days. The CPU speed wars ended years ago. If you aren't a...
