Might get an Apple 4k tv. I prefer knowing I have best PQ on a 4k movie, but nearly everything on the iTunes store is in Dolby Vision, come out sooner, and they are MUCH cheaper.
I think I have my Plex server finally up and running well. The only thing I have left to learn how to do properly is add extras so that Plex can recognize them. It's pretty neat and works well and I can finally store all my movie and music discs out of the way somewhere instead of having them be in an easy access position.
Well, once I rip everything, anyway.
I don't have any UHD discs, so I won't need to worry about that just yet. Maybe by the time I get an oled the encryption will be cracked so I can rip those discs easily, too. Right now, people are dependent on leaks for the keys or whatever.

Fuck it. Cancelling DTV Now, going to use YouTube TV. Weather Channel isn't worth an extra $30 per month. (I was on the DTV Now $65 plan, +5 for a third stream. YouTube at $40 gives me all the channels I need [except for...] and streams.)

you were serious about Weather Channel?
By Smokey Go To Postyou were serious about Weather Channel?
Yes. I always have it on sort of as a background visual type of thing. Granted, it's less useful now than it was years back because they show a bunch of reality nonsense in the evenings and weekends. And with DTV Now, it was even less useful since it didn't do actual local forecasts / lower line local weather information. But just the same, I'd rather have it than not, but not enough to pay as much as I was going to be paying. I hope it comes to YouTube TV eventually, though.
WeatherNation is a streaming app that will just have to fill the gap in the interim. Who knows, I might grow to like it, but it does come across as low budget, probably necessarily so.

huh
well you're the first ive ever heard talk about wc like that lol
I grant it might be odd, but I literally had it as my default channel in my bedroom for as long as I can remember (and I could also literally go months without ever changing the channel on that particular box). ESPN was default in the living room, though it of course changed on a regular basis.

The amount of digital 4K movies I’ve got for under $10 (especially under 7) on there is nuts.
Also, my 150mbs xfinity bill was up to $110 so I decided to go to one of the BnM stores to see what kind of plan I could change to. I had the performance pro plus a shitty 10 basic non HD tv plan that I never bothered to take the receiver out of the box for. Best deal I could get through the website for internet only was like 70bucks.
Glad I walked in, they kept me at the same speed and dropped the shitty tv plan for like $50. So I guess I’ll stick with them a little longer
What's diff in qualify between in apple 4k and a say a 4k blu Ray? Is it negligible or are we talking sky HD to blue levels of drasticness.
By Kidjr Go To PostWhat's diff in qualify between in apple 4k and a say a 4k blu Ray? Is it negligible or are we talking sky HD to blue levels of drasticness.4K Blu-ray has a shit ton more bitrate and yes it is noticible in dark or busy scenes. For general viewing 4k streaming is fine but if you have any bit of inclination to high quality then you will prefer Bluray.
It's like a really high bitrate MP3 compared to FLAC. or something. I would say most people won't really notice.

The lack of space in NY apartments has me seriously considering going digital with movies. I would need another shelf if I kept buying movies but who has space for this.
Smokey's bathroom is bigger than my whole apartment probably.

that render makes it look so thin lol, no way is it anything like that. think i'm going to buy one though.
By RobNBanks Go To PostJust heard about FuboTV, it's like Sling but focused on sports. I had no idea this existed..
Focused on sports with no ESPN, as far as I can tell.
Granted, ESPN sucks balls, but they still show actual sports. Er, occasionally.
By reilo Go To Post
Omg, the colors, materials, design.
More and more marketed towards the tasteless polo-wearing crowd. Gonna be a massive hit with the new bourgeoisie of China, oil countries, etc.
Nah, it's not political. I have a recently found appreciation for watches. And I see too many tourists daily. I just can't stand the fashion of these. Plasticky looking leather, vulgar colors, etc.
By reilo Go To PostApparently a gateway to turning you into the bourgeoisie that wants to destroy the proletariat.
Never liked those plebians. Not one bit.
By Gaby Go To PostNah, it's not political. I have a recently found appreciation for watches. And I see too many tourists daily. I just can't stand the fashion of these. Plasticky looking leather, vulgar colors, etc.I mean there's hundreds of bands to choose from to suit you whatever you want that actually looks decent. It's not like these bands don't exist on regular watches, either, so.
By reilo Go To PostDefinitely looks thinner:Hideous. Apple's design team fell off
By Pac-12 Go To PostFocused on sports with no ESPN, as far as I can tell.Even better.

I don't watch ESPN, I hate their broadcast teams so I don't even bother anymore.
By RobNBanks Go To PostEven better.
I don't watch ESPN, I hate their broadcast teams so I don't even bother anymore.
You have to have ESPN if you're into college football or basketball. But if not, yeah, probably won't miss (too much of) it.
Wait, the bands in the picture are from Hermés... which is a Paris based company that's been around for almost 200 years. Gaby, pls. This is your fault.
By RobNBanks Go To Postwhat phone is 2000?the xsmax 512gb in yurop dollars
By diehard Go To PostWho is getting 512GB of storage on a phone? Do you not have data?
I would for my music and photos/vids.
I haven’t even used up my 64GB in my 7+, I don’t see how you would need 512. Are you making 4K movies every day or have every song on Apple Music/Spotify downloaded
By Doncicic Go To PostSome people have large music collections that aren't on spotify.another reason to use something like google music that lets you upload your own stuff
