Voom MonstersHD back to 1920x1080i !!, See Inside!!
Guys I have a sort of weird finding here to tell and (actually show you), I have been watching MonstersHD over the past few days and it has been looking pretty darn good, well I seriously think that MonstersHD is back at 1920x1080i, so I pulled up a old capture of "The Wicker Man" from MonstersHD when the channel first started on Dish, it is 1920x1080i
The MonstersHD channel is still listed as 1280x1080i in the headers, we all know this is useless info
so this evening at 10:30 I captured some of MonstersHD, from "The Wicker Man"
I would almost be willing to bet that MonstersHD is 1920x1080i and not 1280x1080i
Want Proof, the screenshots below are virtually identical and my display and eyes are agreeing
here is a screenshot to compare:
1280x1080i from this evening from Monsters HD:
1920x1080i from 5 months back on MonstersHD:
Zoomed in area:
if this is in appropriate, mods please delete, I also posted in the Voom thread
I viewed Wicker man a few weeks back after the change to 1280x1080i and it looked like sh*t compared to this evening and months back

you won't get anymore off topic from me

Interesting - considering if you had done your homework you would find that I subscribe to every service virtually 3x.
I don't need to download anything that you end up putting on the net. I am sure my own equipment is better than what you can supply on the net.
Only a moron such as yourself couldn't count.
Over 200 movies on Cinemax and HBO this month
Slightly under 100 on Showtime.
Around 78 on HDNET Movies and add in StarzHD to bring it up to 100
INHD, PPV, TMN, MC and up until last month Voom's Monster HD.
It's not hard to get over 500 a month legitimately for which my boxes are fully legal subscriptions.
So I don't need the movies you upload on the net - sorry.
And thus who is the pot calling the kettle black?
You really can't take it when you are wrong can you?
Gary Murrell said:whoever is claiming that about me is 100% incorrect, I wouldn't be caught dead downloading or distrubuting movies, you know that already, because I would be in your circles if not, you don't have that on me and I can gurantee that pal, those activities are not something I partake in
see normal people don't trash folks for doing something that they do themselves, or as sometimes said as "the pot calling the kettle black"
I have many a proof of you downloading and your claims of 4000 HD movies
and even on the other hand attacking other members for downloading of movies, you are a real peace of work as you must have 2 different personalities
best I see is that I asked about the ignore function once, I know where it is at on the AVS Forum so I have never had to ask there
You are the God of proof
search my threads here and on any forum you like and see if I asked more than once where the ignore function is
Mods I am not going off topic anymore nor wasting time on this POS

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....

As of now this is only available for streaming customers in select markets. Existing streaming customers can switch to it for $69.99, but they are not eligible for the $20 off for 3 months discount. More genre-specific packages will launch during the first half of the year.

America’s Fastest-Growing EV State Isn’t California—Not by a Long Shot
New data shows electric vehicle adoption is increasingly driven by state policies, electricity prices and charging access—not federal incentives
www.autoweek.com
The number-one US state for EV growth, according to the June 22 Yardi report?
Oklahoma.
It has no ZEV mandates and "minimal" incentives, Yardi says, but also has cheap electricity, high multi-car household rates (so, for example, a non-Lightning Ford F-150 pulls their trailers), and a consumer base willing to switch.

The Tesla Cybertruck Is Dead, The Ford F-150 Lives - The Autopian
The Cybertruck was supposed to make the F-150 obsolete. It wasn’t supposed to be boring, like a Ford or a Chevy. It was supposed to be “more truck than truck.” It turns out, people just wanted trucks that were trucks, and CEO Elon Musk announced on X earlier this morning is that the Cybertruck...

Does anyone here use Apple Home/HomeKit with HomePods or Apple TV to automate smart devices in their house? We have had Amazon's Alexa set up in our house for the last 10+ years and I have been waiting to switch them out to Apple for a few reasons; We are already in the Apple ecosystem with our phones, tablets, and computers. I have never liked Amazon's stance on privacy and I really like that Apple has pushed for privacy for a long time.
I bought 4 of the new HomePod Mini 2 speakers to go in various rooms in our house and we have one of the new Apple TVs on preorder that will be the start of me replacing our Rokus. I have the HomePod Mini 2s set up and have an RPi that is running HomeBridge for our legacy smart devices that worked natively with Alexa but don't work with Apple Home natively. I had trouble with the older smart bulbs not keeping the brightness or light color consistent with what our routines were with Alexa despite trying every setting in HomeBridge with the bulbs just not shining very bright. I ended up replacing them with updated versions that are Matter compatible so they work in Apple Home natively. That in and of itself has been interesting to set up because I have my home network segretated with the IoT devices on their own vlan and wifi and pretty locked down. Matter requires IPv6 and due to how my home network is designed I had to do some digging with AI to figure out how to make it all work correctly.
Apple Home definitely has some shortcomings that Alexa does much better with but I am hoping Apple will continue to improve their Home products and introduce features that will bring it closer to the functionality of Alexa.

I have the Roku's, 2 or 3, I just rarely use them ... I prefer the Google/Android Sony set up.
People tell me that the Apps on the TV will end thier usefulness as they age ... They are doing ok for me so far ... I also have the TV take the App Updates whenever possible ... then again, I don't know how often App updates come to it.
So, so far, I'm doing ok, but if they start to get sluggish, I'll eventually change to a Roku ... I don't want to, but eventually ... (Or buy another new TV

After a strange reboot last night in the middle of viewing, this morning several more reboots and about a half an hour download.
