    TCL Teams Up with Best Buy to Deliver Most Advanced Roku TV to Date – The All-New Premium 8-Series

    Actually they have the Model 6 series 55R635 in a 55 inch size, if that would fit. I think in that smaller size the new mini led 6 series would be almost a good as my 8 series.

    Yes, I am streaming. I gave up on both satellite and cable this past spring, I use Cox for internet. I have Youtube TV for the main channels and I also have Prime, Starz, Disney+ and other assorted streaming services. When I cut the cord I started with Hulu but didn't like the video quality...

    TCL Teams Up with Best Buy to Deliver Most Advanced Roku TV to Date – The All-New Premium 8-Series

    Well I received my 75 inch TCL Q825 and I have put it through all the torture tests I could come up with and it just shrugged them all off. I guess I won the panel lottery because mine has nun of the defects other buyers have noted. Guys the picture quality on this set is nothing short of...

    TCL Teams Up with Best Buy to Deliver Most Advanced Roku TV to Date – The All-New Premium 8-Series

    I have the 75 inch TCL Q825 on order from Best Buy, I am supposed to get it on Nov 5th. I have had my H/T torn apart for quite a while now and currently I am just not psychically able to get it back together. I am going to upgrade my upstairs TV room to 4K, with this new TCL. I'll let everyone...

    Upgrading H/T

    Another update, my BIL passed this past week after a tough battle with cancer and we just got back early this morning from the funeral. He was a great guy and went way too soon, he was only 65. It is going to take a while to get back to a normal routine around here, my wife has taken it very...

    multi fiber optic input

    Yes, almost everything is now HDMI, even for audio. There are some higher end receivers that will include coax inputs for audio, as that is superior to toslink but almost all the newer stuff is getting rid of the legacy inputs, not only for audio but also for video and just doing HDMI.

    Upgrading H/T

    I thought I would give an update, for those interested. I have had some family medical problems, BIL with stage 4 cancer and also some medical problems myself, cataract surgery that didn't go well and had to go to a Retina specialists to try and get it fixed. These things have prevented me from...

    Upgrading H/T

    I know, I am trying to keep everything covered with drop cloths but it will still get everywhere. I have the screen covered to protect it also.

    Scott, I've been a bad, bad boy!

    That happened to me on Amazon year before last and it took me forever to get it straitened out. Everyone should go to secure verification on your Amazon account. That was the only way I finally got rid of the hacker.

    Celebrating 15 Years!

    Happy Anniversary!! Thank you so much for not selling out to someone. I have been on several forums that sold out to big forum operators and they were never the same. The family feeling that we have here was what the other forums also had and it just diapered with the big owner taking over. I...

    Velocity GO?

    Anyone know if Dish will ever offer support for the Velocity Go App and website. Dish is not one of the listed carriers so I can't watch any of their content online.

    54.0 Remote coming

    I got my 54.0 remotes today and so far I am very happy with them. This is what the 50.0 remote should have been, instead the abortion it is. Love the feel of everything and the way the backlight comes on when you pick up the remote.

    54.0 Remote coming

    I hate the 50.0, I have 2 of them and just ordered two of the 54.0 remotes. I wanted voice control for the grandkids on 2 of my sets but I hate the pad on the 50.0, so I hope this gives better results then the stupid pad on the 50.0.

    Analyst: Dish could gain in T-Mobile Sprint Merger

    I just switched from Sprint to T Mobile and couldn't be happier to get rid of Sprint. T Mobile paid for my early termination fee and paid off my iPhone. I now have 2 phones with unlimited data, for what it was costing me with Sprint for 1 phone with 2 Gig data limit. I hope the merger doesn't go...

    Some of the systems allow you to set the startup volume, instead of just starting at the last level.

    New Hopper 3

    One thing that surprised me about the favorites is that the 3 and each Joey have their own list. If you set up a favorites list on one it doesn't carry over, you have to set up a list on each unit.

    New Hopper 3

    I just recently got a Hopper 3 also but I can't help with the IR window. The only option I found for HD in the guide is the hide duplicate SD channels option. I don't know of any way to see HD only, wish I did. There isn't any way, that I know of, to get rid of the banners and stuff. That is one...

    Switching from DTV

    I just switched to Dish from Cox cable. I have a Hopper 3, 3 Joey 2's and one Wireless Joey. As stated you don't need a home network for the wireless Joey, it connects to an wireless hub with the install and is a separate system. You will need an internet connection to the Hopper 3, either...
