OK, I'm scratching my head here and looking to see if anyone has had a similar issue. Since this virus started it seems like everyone and their dog wants to use Zoom meetings. Our kids teachers are still using it for meetings.. so it has to be installed on all the systems int he house it...

OMG..

Argggg.. I hate AT&T so much. They have fiber one street over.. which actually intersects our street and have been offering gig speeds for over a year. I can actually follow their cable along the street to our corner and see it branch off and go down our street with a service loop at the pole...

Anyone using something like the TP-Link KP200 in an outdoor setting? We have a covered deck area that I would like to put some smart outlets in, but everything "outdoor" rated looks like cow dung. No, I don't want some dongle hanging off my outlets. My concern is with the operating...

Same here, but honestly I'm thinking the problem lies with my Yahmaha ATS-1070 soundbar. I've tracked down the issue to powering everything off at night. If I manually turn off the TV and leave the Caavo and soundbar on.. no HDCP errors. If power everything down at night I can be 100% sure...

I have not :( I have about $40 worth of HDMI cables sitting in my Amazon cart but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. For now the family knows just to flip the power strip off and on and wait for everything to start back up. I've been meaning to hook the old Roku 3 back up and see if it still...

Dang.. I thought our usage was pretty high, but nothing compared to some of you guys. We "cut the cord" (god I hate that term since almost everyone still has a cable of some sort coming info internet) several years ago. Keep local channels via Xfinity only because it's like $2 more than just...

Yeah, it has left/right audio outputs I guess I could try. I'm not sure the Samsung UN65FH6001F model of TV will output the audio from a HDMI source through the analog outputs. I think I remember trying with an XBOX for some late night gaming on headphones and could never get any sound.

Unfortunately, no HDMI ARC as the TV is about the most basic 65" Samsung ever made. It also doesn't have an optical out to feed the soundbar (Yamaha ATS-1070).

Ugg.. our TV setup is quickly driving me nuts (specifically having to listen to family members bitch about it). We don't have a difficult media setup. Basically, before Christmas we just used a Roku connected to a Yamaha soundbar and then the TV, with a Wii U on the second TV input. Of...

If you didn't have quite so many devices I would say the Caavo Control Center.. but it only has 4 HDMI inputs. I picked one up during Black Friday but I only have a Roku, Wii, and XBox connected (thinking about adding a standalone BluRay player for those one-off Redbox nights). For the most...

The problem is that the charts aren't accurate IMO. I know of several locations around my area alone that are listed as LTE covered but when you try to actually use data on your device the towers are so over-subscribed (have no idea if that is the right term) that you can't even load the [H]...

I'll take self-checkout any chance I get just to avoid wasting time with the mouth breathers at the registers, unless I have a large number of items or things that are difficult to scan. For example, I had to stop at Home Depot yesterday and pickup about $150 of vinyl gutter stuff (clips...

We've tried to watch Luke Cage 3 times now and can't get more than 2-3 episodes in before we abandon ship to another show. Circle back around 6-9 months later and can't remember a damn thing from the first 2 episodes and have to start over.. and lose interest again. I really don't know what it...

As usual.. the "native" american idea is thrown out. Those native americans would be just as much of illegal immigrants using this ideology since the land was uninhabited before they crossed the land bridge. The key word is "illegal" and requires a legal system (laws) to be broken. Since the...
