    cord shaving

    Not sure if it still works the same way but before I had Flex plus Locals I was ONLY getting data for the main channels. The sub-channels and channels out of my DMA had NO guide data.

    REMINDER: HBO Special Price Ending 9/20

    Mine DID end on 9/20. I just got my bill and I was prorated $15 from 9/20 and billed $15 for October. Selecting the option to cancel if it went up didn't work, surprise.

    Yellowstone (2018) Paramount Network

    I'm actually enjoying this series. It is like all of the old " cattle baron " westerns all rolled up into one show. Whats not to like about ranch hands being branded and taking the long black train when they run astray.

    $10 HBO going away???

    I've set my subscription to expire when the promotion ends. At $10 a month I was willing to keep it for GoT and \W/, but at $15 I'll just wait for the 4K discs, which I already buy anyways. Disney has to pay for Star Wars, which has been a flop for them since they included all of the SJW nonsense.

    Syfy 's ‘The Expanse’

    I did. I'm going to let my renewal go through. Bought the Season 3 pass and pre-ordered the Season 3 BD. I let them know that them picking up The Expanse was the sole reason they are getting my money. The coming seasons will be awesome if they can keep the production values up. I want some...

    The 100

    I do have NetFlix but I did end up buying the Prime season pass for something like $32 as part of my thank you for Amazon picking up The Expanse. I'm actually liking what I'm seeing so far with the introduction of the prison ship. The Colonel/Captain thing did confuse me a bit but maybe the rank...

    The 100

    Is the latest season worth buying? I totally forgot about CW being blacked out on Dish and none of my timers fired. I started to record over OTA but the constant glitching with the Hopper 3 is really annoying.

    Salvation (CBS)

    I liked Season 1 and this seems to be an easy one to cancel since the Cancellation Asteroid can hit at any time with no need to tie up any character arcs or loose ends. My DVR gets a workout on Sunday and Wednesday but gets no action on Monday.

    Syfy 's ‘The Expanse’

    I haven't read all of the books ( just ordered the rest of them available on paperback from Amazon ) but my understanding is that production might get more expansive considering where the books take us. Who knows, though, as zipping through the gate network in Stargate to other planets didn't...

    Syfy 's ‘The Expanse’

    Bobbie isn't quite my type. I don't want to be in a relationship with a woman that could pound me into dust. She is bad-ass, though. Now. Drummer is more to my liking. That last episode was one of the best so far and kicks off the events in Abaddon's Gate, the 3rd book.

    Syfy 's ‘The Expanse’

    Last I heard was that the sets were struck last Wednesday and sold to CBS to use on Star Trek Discovery. I suppose Alcon could get them back but that would be an additional expense if Amazon does pick it up.

    OPPO UDP-203 4K Blu-ray Player

    Sucks that Oppo is going away but the Sony X1000 and Panasonic UB-9000 are good alternatives. I'll probably pick up a Sony X800 as a back-up player ( when I eventually get around to pulling the trigger on an 85" X900F ) and see how it does accessing my NAS and EHDs.

    Star Trek Discovery

    I did run through all of the episodes again before cancelling my subscription until the final six episodes are up to binge. I don't know how cleaver the writers are but I have a strong feeling that Lorca IS from the Mirror Universe. There were several scenes when Lorca looked at himself in a...

    Star Trek Discovery

    Most 18 to 29-year-olds don't have brains to shut off, so it is all good with this new Star Trek. I wonder if the feelings from older Trekkers will change over time? I remember when the Original Trekkies were up in arms over The Next Generation but eventually warmed up to the series and were...

    The Orville on Hulu

    Anyone want to bet that someone will have a WORKING Down-vote/Up-vote badge ready before the next Sci-Fi convention? Cosplay just got a whole lot easier. All you'll need is a trapezoid case for your cell phone and one of those badges. I'm actually surprised that the good stories keep coming...

    The Orville on Hulu

    I totally forgot about Sunday Night Football and pretty-much missed all of the 2nd episode. I did watch a little bit of it and will just wait to watch the 3rd episode on the 23rd along with a repeat of the 2nd episode. I hope it can retain those numbers and get a 2nd season.

    FOUND A NEW TOOL, love it, and its free

    I've been using Glary Utilities for YEARS. The Pro version is only $11 a year. It is worth it to have all the little maintenance utilities ( which you can find and download for free ) in one easy-to-use interface. It is updated quite frequently and different/new tools are added on occasion. I...

    I need a computer for a special application.

    If you want an aluminum case that isn't flashy, look at Lian-Li or Silverstone. Here is a link for a custom case called N-Case M1 that takes the best of Lian-Li and Silverstone and puts it in a very small package. This case can take an nVidia GTX 1080TI and 240mm x 120mm radiator for...

    I need a computer for a special application.

    You can get a Zotac ZBox with an nVidia GTX 1060 or 1070 in it but these aren't cheap. The GTX 1070 ( Pascal ) version with Skylake ( 6th Gen Core i ) quad core runs about $1500. Just keep in mind that Coffee Lake CPUs ( 8th Gen Core i ) and nVidia Volta will probably be out within 6 months. A...

    DISH lost over 318,000 subs first quarter of 2017

    Indeed. Just take away all of that crap, hand him a ball, and tell him to go outside and play. :D

    Star Trek Discovery

    I think these Klingons are going to be some type of proto-Klingon. Everything I've heard points to this... Shinzhou ( the 24th-century-looking ship ) finding a derelict Klingon ship ( Sarcophagus ship ) out in deep space, Captain and XO beam onto said ship and wake the things up, they barely...

    Timeless

    I tuned out after the first six episodes because of the constant pandering. Hopefully, they will get rid of the pilot that seemed to always yap about the treatment of black people in the past. That and they spent a lot of time going to time periods relating to the treatment of blacks. I'm just...

    Adding height speakers for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X

    I've been running 4 height speakers since 2008 for DTS Neo:X. Only thing I did for Atmos was put a pair of ceiling speakers above my seating. My requirement was at least 300W RMS power-handling to better match the rest of my speakers, so I was severely limited. I ended up sticking in-wall MTM...

    The Walking Dead on AMC

    I knew Sonequa ( Sasha ) was gone as soon as she landed the lead role on the new Star Trek series back in December. Talent can usually juggle TV and a movie but not another TV series that requires a weekly shoot schedule in Georgia and Vancouver. Just wish she would have taken a chunk out of...
