Mostly just left side left arm and leg just barely useable

Just got a phone call from an unknown number wanting to send a Cardiovascular screening test to me assuring that Medicare would pay for it. But in the course of the conversation and their unwillingness to tell me who ordered it done, they soon hung up. The thing that rang my alarm was when they...

Just found this today. The advantage of subscribing direct with AMC+ is they have an annual deal. Just a little less than $60/year instead of the $8.99 as a monthly. App available for AppleTV, Roku in their app stores. The app is also available for FireTV but it isn’t in the App Store yet. Go to...

Well, that and get NFL and Redzone channels while keeping ESPN! And boy did that get expensive quick! Currently with ATT TV @Entertainment level. No Golf channel, not either NFL channels but have ESPN. So I figured how much to up to get Golf Channel? Turns out to go from Entertainment @$50 to...

Announced in Variety today!!

One of the things I’ve learned with the pandemic and its devastation of new original programming across all platforms is that maybe a Live streaming/cable/sat isn’t all that necessary. For those of us that are very casual sports viewers it is especially notable that there is so little live new...

Roku is on a slow rollout of AirPlay 2 support. I got it on my 2019 model Roku Ultra today and it works just fine. Setup was simple but for whatever reason, I had to run my AppleTV app on my ipad to AirPlay to it and then tried HBO Max. Running HBO Max first didn’t work, just pulled up the...

I’ve got both these boxes and this is not meant as an all inclusive review, just some comparisons. On both boxes there is no charge for the Guide info. Amazon Recast: This works quite well but is limited to working with Amazon FireTV products. There is an app for iOS and Android devices but...

I’ve been fiddling around with various streaming boxes in an attempt to come up with the one box that will fit all the various niches. Well, I didn’t find the one box, but I did find a 2-box solution that hits all the marks. That is the combo of Amazon’s FireTV with their Recast OTA DVR...

Gone are the days of soundbars being the weak sister of the tv/audio world. There is a lot of work going on in the soundbar market these days. Supporting Atmos, DTS:X and other advanced audio codecs as well as upscaling from practically anything to faked versions of those codecs. And they are...

Just started. It is fun to watch, but the low budget is obvious. IMO, fun and forgettable. I’ll keep watching.

An adult, real life kind of game show. Weird in its own way and I’m not exactly sure what it is all about, but I’m enjoying the trip!

Weird and wonderful! But I think I’m going to need to take LSD to really get into it. :)

This is a show about not much at all, but I’ve loved it since it started. If you don’t like musicals you probably won’t like this either.

Asking for my daughter. They bought a house way out in the boonies right next to the Mark Twain national forest and internet is problematic. Meaning if they need it today it is either satellite or cell. It has been quite a few years since I’ve had D*, so I don’t know.

Think about it. With all the coronavirus responses we’ve seen so far, what is the reason to keep a Live streaming service subscription going? And this applies to cable/sat also. Sports have nearly disappeared, new episodes of series that aren’t already in the can won’t be shown, many new shows...

One of the more frustrating parts of cutting the cord is with the live streaming services like YouTubeTV and others is that most of them only provide stereo for live and/or recorded shows. I think ATT’s streaming TV offerings are the only ones that offer 5.1 on at least some channels. I’ve...

For those that want to manage streaming a little more, here’s a couple of things I’ve discovered that make it possible. Using the AppleTV app on the ATV shows you watch on some of the ‘channel’ apps, Hulu and others show up in the ‘up next’ strip inside that app. Assuming you use that app for...

Playing around a bit this morning. I’ve got a Sling Blue subscription going as a possible step towards cutting the cord. Here’s how it works for me on a few of the boxes I’ve tried it on. Note these are somewhat subjective. AppleTV4K - The best picture and audio of any of them, and that holds...

Lots of articles and forum threads on cutting the cord, but I haven’t seen one talking about doing it as cheaply as possible. Here’s some ways: 1. No or little sports w/ads - The combination of Hulu and CBS All Access, about $12/month or less. This gets you the big 4 broadcast, almost all cable...

Over the holidays I got to playing around with a couple of Android e-ink tablets. The Likebook Mars and Onyx Boox Nova Pro. Both pretty well reviewed in various places and mostly positive reviews. Here’s my take on the two I have currently. Likebook Mars - about 8” plastic screen. Limited...

At slickdeals! 32GB Apple TV 4K Streaming Media Player (Latest Model) $90 + Free S/H Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

In conjunction with my month long cord cutting experiment I got to playing around a lot more with the streamer boxes I have. AppleTV4K, FireTV Cube, Roku Premier and to a lesser extent, Tivo Bolt. AppleTV4K - IMO, the best of the bunch! Simplistic but very useful UI and with the AppleTV app...

With all the posts and such about IPTV being the wave of the future and even to a growing extent, a wave that is ongoing, I thought I would do a month long trial with IPTV only. Currently I’m on cable with retail Tivo gear and am happy with it, but the bill keeps climbing and I’m not too far...

This weekend lots of places are having great sales on iPads of all sorts including the Pro models. I had been contemplating replacing my 1st gen iPad Pro 12.9” for quite awhile and finally bit the bullet. Went to BestBuy fully intending to trade my 1st gen for a new 11” one as the price was...
