Amanda hess wrote an interesting op-ed on the current trend for reboots of old TV. The End of Endings

One of Walt Disney's earliest films has just been discovered in Japan. An anime historian had the cartoon for 70 years before he realised it was one of seven lost films. The two-minute short features Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, a precursor to Mickey Mouse. Yasushi Watanabe, 84, bought the film...

The TIVO Roamio OTA is on sale today and tomorrow for $299 with lifetime service included. I am aware that some can build a cheaper system out of spare parts, but this is aimed at the less technical user. Plug it in, make 1 phone call and it works well. Note that this is the OTA model and...

Until recently, I had a setting in my profile that had a list of forums that I could select to see or ignore in my unread items. It seems to have gone away this morning, and I am now getting everything new since my last session. There are two new selections in the ribbon. Forums you ignore...

I did some playing during the superbowl in that I compared OTA vs TWC vs FoxNow feed. I used the built in tuner on my 4k Samsung 65" 9000 for OTA The TIVO Roamio for the TWC/Spectrum feed off the primary Fox channel The built in app for the fox now feed. Unfortunately, Fox did not support a 4k...

Well the sales are starting on 2016 models in front of CES. After much thought I went for the Samsung UN65KS9000. Considered the Sony and really wanted an LG OLED set, but simply couldn't justify the price. Best Buy price matched and will deliver next week.

TIVO announced that they are ending support for their series 1 boxes, as the ROVI guide data format is incompatible https://www.engadget.com/2016/08/16/tivo-series1-lifetime-over/ Makes one wonder what lifetime means for later boxes.

It has been a few years since this was last active, so I thought I'd start fresh. My son has finally shed the PC I originally bought to be a HTPC. He grabbed it out of the box before I got home from work and held on tight for 4 years. Now that he needs better gaming, I can finally have it :)...

This guy came across a Japanese PC race game and had to record it. Multiple times, because the ending changed each time. And, as he says several times, because Japan. There is no other explanation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdmsRcsl_xA

I've been idle for several years now, but I volunteered for an activity that is going to require at the very least 2M capability. The only thing I currently have is a 2M handy-talkie with an external 40W amp. The antenna got lost in one of the moves. I actually live close to AES, so I am...

Most of the modern movie posters available these days are printed double sided with the reverse a mirror image of the front. The reason is so the colors don't get washed out when placed in the backlit displays that theaters use. I find it kind of a shame to be displaying these posters in...

I am getting a big block labeled "Stop Censorship" over the satguys logo

Sometime this morning the new posts selection started giving me all the new posts, including those from forums that I have hidden in my profile.

I can't seem to find an entry to block the Blockbuster Movie Pass forum. Already have DISH blocked, but there doesn't seem to be a sub forum entry in the general settings page.

Daughter dropped phone into the sink 2 months ago. I went in to Verizon and they convinced me that it was cheaper and quicker to use her available upgrade and just get a new phone and contract. Anyway, yesterday some kid threw a backpack on top of hers (so she says) and broke the display. I...

Perhaps I am just getting old and set in my ways. I saw the trailer for The Three Musketeers last night and had a strong negative reaction. Dumas' 3 Musketeers is a classic with non-stop action and intrigue. Why did the producers feel a need to remake Crouching Tiger/The Matrix with a bit...
