    Name all your streaming devices...

    3 Apple TV 4Ks; 2nd gen - all hard wired 1 firestick 4K - spare 3 firestick (recent) - spare TCL Roku TV’s (65” hard wired (pool deck) the other in the master - not connected. Both TVs are trash as are all the fire sticks. Why anyone would use anything other than a Apple TV 4K is beyond me.

    OLED AND DISH PICTURE QUALITY

    I have Two Panasonic plasmas (2009) still kicking - And performing exceptionally well. No issue whatsoever with burn in and or image retention. They’ve enjoyed a bit of a life extension as I’m now viewing 1080P over the air broadcasts with a new SD ASTC 3.0 tuner. Absolutely fabulous images...

    NVIDIA Shield Expands 4K Offerings

    Dumped and or relegated all FTV devices to back up devices. We are an All Apple TV 4K house now. No looking back. Hands down the most intuitive and smooth streamer of all of them. Well worth the $$.

    Thinking cutting the cord

    I left after 24 years last year. Very sad moment actually - but sling doesn’t everything and more. several Apple TV 4K’s and HD Home run Quattro is all the equipment we need. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thinking cutting the cord

    I agree - but only after they fixed the colossal screwup that was their Apple TV update; they totally broke the app for a short time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Poll: Fire Stick or Roku?

    I like the upscaling in the shield. But hands down - Apple TV 4K is the closest to the perfect solution - even with the remote that so many people despise. For me - my family loves the apple remote. Hoping for a generational shift with a new Apple TV so that we can decommission all the...

    OTA question for a clueless person (me!)

    It’s a house with a detached garage - just so happens that’s where all the service lines originate. I use both a preamp amp and a distribution amp because of the distance. From the distribution amp - I send to two splitters and on to every room in the house Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    OTA question for a clueless person (me!)

    The best distribution amplifier I have found. https://www.solidsignal.com/pico-digital-18-25db-sloped-uhf-vhf-fm-dist-amplifier-ta-25?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cse&utm_term=TA-25&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_Lf5zszC7QIVA9vACh1hYwQREAUYASABEgKNj_D_BwE I have a preamp some 200’ away from this...

    First experience with a fireTV stick

    Live TV - meaning that you are unable to pause? If so then yes - that’s a bother. So glad that ESPN just recently allowed sling users the ability to phase live programming. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    First experience with a fireTV stick

    What’s funny is my family actually loves the Apple TV remote. It’s very intuitive - for us at least. It operates my AV receiver and 10!year old Panasonic plasma perfectly. It also Works great with our main streaming options; Sling, HD Homerun, Disney, appletv plus, and prime. Honestly can’t...

    First experience with a fireTV stick

    I have gen 2 fire sticks. Have begun to transition to Apple TV’s 4ks. I’ve had enough of the streaming stick nonsense. We’re deep into apple’s eco system - so it’s been super smooth experience thus far. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    CBS and NBC are not available.

    Get a preamp - and a distribution amp if you have a long run into the house. How far are you away from the antenna farm. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
