    Forum URL Changing

    Thanks for confirming it wasn't something I was doing wrong. Really, It's not that big of a deal, it's just that I have been making these shortcuts for years as they are like mini apps. I know bookmarks work just fine, I just like the appearance. I always make them "Open as window" too. Just...

    That's not the shortcut I'm talking about. It is made by pulling up the website, going to the drop down in the upper right three dots and click on more tools. That brings up another box of choices. Click on "Create Shortcut" That puts an Icon of the site your looking at on your desktop. I...

    Forum URL Changing

    For years I have had a Chrome desktop shortcut pointed to the TV Show forum. Never had a problem. Recently I purchased a new computer and when creating the shortcut, the URL is being changed from https://www.hometheaterforum.com/community/forums/tv-shows.40/ to...

    'Fess up, people - You think CHiPs is the greatest TV show EVER, and it is!

    Emergency! is in the same time frame and style. Paramedics Gage and Desoto operating out of Station 51. Chicago Fire has an Engine 51 in honor of it. Loved both shows.

    Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime

    Just started Season 3 and noticed that it is not in Atmos. Is anybody else seeing it in Atmos? I'm worried I have a wrong setting. I am selecting the UHD , but the Audio option only shows Dolby and Stereo.

    House of the Dragon (Game of Thrones prequel series)

    Did anyone else see this Parody of the series on SNL last Saturday. It was just a hilarious. I think they really nailed it. It's posted on You Tube.

    Who's your favorite announcer on game shows or soaps?

    The late Don Pardo. Besides SNL he did stints with Price is Right, Jeopardy and the NBC Nightly News among others.

    Peacock Transplant (NBC)

    Crap, I missed it. I can probably catch up on the free Peacock that Comcast gives me. Was looking forward to it and didn't see it started.

    Peacock Transplant (NBC)

    Is this only on Peacock? I enjoyed it last year and was awaiting it's return, but don't currently have Peacock now.

    The Dismal State of 4K Broadcast television (A Rant)

    I see by the map that my stations in Indianapolis have this now. In reading the facts of NextGen TV it says it automatically adjusts the volume. "And it’s built with the Dolby Audio System for NEXTGEN TV, which intelligently enhances dialogue, maintains consistent volume as you change the...

    Does anyone know if this will be available on the Roku channel that is on the Amazon Fire devices?

    Star Trek The Next Generation appreciation thread

    I realize it is not true Atmos. Like you said, It is the up mixing of the original sound done by the receiver. Very few services stream Atmos. The receiver has some sort of algorithm and it knows what to speakers to give the Atmos envelope effect. Basically, it's stuff going to the rear speakers...

    Star Trek The Next Generation appreciation thread

    When using Firestick and streaming from Netflix it upscales from HD to HDR10. If the Blu-ray is in HDR10, then there is no difference. I suppose it's possible that the Blu-ray player upscales it too, but I have never watched it on Blu-ray. I also hadn't watched this since I installed Atmos...

    Star Trek The Next Generation appreciation thread

    What's even better is to watch it with Amazon's Fire-Stick/Cube in HDR10. It's like it was made yesterday.

    Missing Andy Griffith Episode

    I have seen that episode more than once. Maybe it's a local thing.

    Broadcast TV Mr. Mayor (NBC - Ted Danson)

    I did like the line during the press conference where the guy said his kids were unvaccinated and always sick. He didn't want the disposal sight adding to his troubles

    Schitt's Creek on Netflix does. I'm a little over half done and it's great.

    AGT Sound Issues

    Not sure how many here watch this show, but my wife and I have always found it entertaining. I'm wondering tho, does anybody have sound issues when watching? The trouble is the center channel. I have to turn it up almost 9db for it to sound decent, then the commercial comes on and blasts you out...

    Star Trek: Picard - Season One - CBS All Access - starring Patrick Stewart

    I'm not that familiar with CBS All Access. Can I binge watch the whole season like Netflix or is it a new episode weekly like HBO?

    Why do we still have SD (Standard Definition) TV channels?

    The SD channels are there for 2 reasons. All the cable providers can then charge a HD fee and the hotels and motels can just pay for SD and deform the picture with zoom and stuff because their too cheap to pay for HD. I may be wrong, but other than the sub channels for the broadcast TV I doubt...

    America's Got Talent 2017

    I was very surprised that Nick Cannon had quit. Now they have Tyra Banks as the host. Funny thing tho, she acts and uses the same facial expressions and jokes as Cannon. I always hated all that mugging by Cannon during the acts, now Banks is doing it exactly the same way. Probably scripted.

    The Blacklist: Season 3

    I was hoping they were too. For a moment I thought they had, then they seemed to contradict that DNA result. I mean he admitted he was her father, then backtracked when talking to what's his name. Did I miss something?

    Grimm Season 6 - the Final Season

    It must be getting close to the end as it appears they killed off 2 main characters Friday. Unless it's a dream or they use that "stick" to bring them back.

    Designated Survivor (ABC>Netflix)

    You're correct. I looked up Richard Bekin and he could be Keith Carradine's twin. My wife also thought it was him. I thought the writers were doing doing some sort of inside joke. I guess I need to pay closer attention.

    Designated Survivor (ABC>Netflix)

    Just finished watching this episode and I may be wrong, but at the scene at the end by the memorial, the picture of the person I assumed was the president sure looked like Keth Carradine from Madame Secretary. Different network tho. Think the writers just threw that in? But like I said, I'm...

    America's Got Talent Season Whateverthisis

    I don't think they get their own recurring show in Vegas. If I'm not mistaken, the winner headlines 1 show along with other agt acts . Much like the American Idol tour shows. Not to say they can't be offered a contract for a show, but it's not guaranteed.
