How are you all backing up your blurays to MKV w/ DTS or TrueHD audio? What is the best solution? I'm wondering as I just purchased a PCH A300 and am beginning to backup everything to NAS.

Yes, it is currently the new models, just a bug. I'd love to just do a full rip to Iso, its easy 
I spoke with some nice guys at DVDFab, and the long initial scan time (when I put a Seamless Branch/Multiple Track movie in) is DVDFab Ripper determining in the back ground which one to rip to the single M2TS file. I guess the good thing about this method is, just ripping the movie and lossless track gives me full PQ/AQ at a smaller file size than Iso, plus no menu or trailers to deal with. Not all bad. I'm just going to buy a lifetime for Passkey and the Ripper at the end of 30 days, then in October when my Slysoft expires, Ill buy a lifetime for the DVDFab Copy and be done with it.
Any time I add a new flick, the best move will be to fire up the PCH and skip around in it and make sure everything is kosher.

Use DVDFab Copy for my Spears and Munsil Disc and DVE Disc Iso's, so I can check some minor calibration stuff within the A-300. I figure Iso playback of the calibration disc should allow me to run test patterns and accurately check the video performance. Then used the Ripper to get two of my flicks ripped to M2TS, seemed to work well, went fast, and they look fine checking their playback in VLC player.
Kinda cool firing up the flick and it going straight to the movie LOL.
2hr 6 min movie is 20.6 gb's, and a 1hr 43 min movie is 25.0 gb's if that makes any sense. I guess the shorter flick is encoded at a higher bitrate than the longer flick, but I love the fact they are 20 gigs. I should be able to cram a lot on the HDD for the A-300.

I should be able to cram a lot on the HDD for the A-300.I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?

Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.
At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…

But.....if you like Tulsa King....looks like you would probably like this as well. I don't mind spin-offs as long as they don't involve a sassy niece who moves from the big cityAnother Tulsa King spin off.
Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.
I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

Tony as the director.
Would you rather have LaRoche ???Tony as the director.
No. Bring in someone new.
Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.
I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...No. Bring in someone new.
Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)
Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.
Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.
It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

Might be worth a watch when it comes out. Looks like typical big corp against the little guy movie BUT....there is a reason this plot type is so oft repeated, it draws audiences.

If you're going try to read / listen to the book (can't recommend the audio book enough) before this comes out, I'd avoid trailers.
Trailer below, spoiling it to make sure you read the above bold message first. The book / audio book are fantastic. Go into this blind if you can IMO!
Kind of disappointed at how much they show. A lot still to see, but man, some good reveals in the book that are just served up here.
