Okay, a few months ago I replaced my Sony XBR-65X950B because of issues with the screen, and I bought a used Sony XBR-65X930D to replace it with. I had to replace the DPS board for my new used TV but now it works great! I bought it used because I wanted to keep the active shudder 3D feature as well as wanting HDR. (I honestly wish they'd make an 8K HDR TV with active 3D, and yes, I know there's no 4K 3D nor 8K 3D standard but it's upscaled and with active 3D it's upscaled COMPLETELY.) Anyways, with all the Sony 4K TVs with both HDR and 3D lack the simulated 3D feature, so for a couple months I did without, but I recently discovered some 2D to 3D HDMI converters online, and while most of the converters have been out of stock for years, I found a couple overseas still available (I just have to hook up plug adapters and lower the resolution to 1080p or lower when using the devices). The one I bought works great with the simulated 3D affect but since I have a surround sound system that when I hook up the device it doesn't play in any form of Dolby or DTS but it downscales it to linear PCM. Granted if there aren't any 2D to 3D HDMI converters out there that play in Dolby or DTS, I could deal with it, but I want to know if there are or were any that do or did when they were available. (I want to even know if there AT LEAST WERE any out there just so I know and even though it's a scarce chance, I might find one somewhere.) Also be sure to tell me if you know if all of them play in PCM so I don't go wasting my money. I also may add that none of these devices post the audio information on their listings, so I'm screwed in that matter. And if you think I'm asking this on the wrong website, recommend another one if you happen to know of any…
Here's the one I bought which works with a plug adapter…

Wasn't exactly sure where to post this. Just had a customer come in inquiring about internet. He has HughesNet and had heard good things about mine. He asked if we provided email addresses and it kinda caught me off guard. I said he should be able to keep whatever email he had been using....my sister in law is still using a BellSouth email addy and they haven't been around here for many years. He said he had gotten a letter from HughesNet stating that they had until Nov 16th to save, move, forward, whatever, their Hughesnet emails because they would lose them after that date.
I have never heard of a company simply mass-deleting email accounts (the customer still has his HughesNet service). From what I understand, in the past, the company who was ditching their email service simply sold the customer base to a company like Google.
Anyone else getting this letter. He said he would show it to me tomorrow when I go out there and set up his internet.

Cutting Edge
Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

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?

For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

Can't help but wonder if a worker overlooked checking the harness. I rarely ride a roller coaster anymore but when I do I check the harness myself pretty aggressively.
Can't imagine what the son is going through.

It makes sense, however, I would want more types of restraints, so if one doesn't work, the other does ... the restraints coming over the shoulder I would have expected ... with a Seat belt as last resort.
Fwiw, I inquired with what they use on Coasters at Cedar Point, various Coasters, different restraints according to what the car and track requires ...
NONE of the Coasters at CP use THAT particular system
I'm glad to see ...
