Re: TCL TV Advice
Walmart now has a TCL 43" for $176. Budget yes, but the price is great. Maybe 4K would look better on a smaller 43" screen vs a 55" screen. You would probably perceive little if any difference, at least on a set from the same maker. The better "look" people seem to take notice of is that provided b...

YUP, they managed to f*ck this up AGAIN.
YAY, WDIV and Hub Operations.
Still can't find the automation override button.
How hard is this, really??
It's probably in the User Guide.

Coast to Coast AM host Ian Punnett RIP
From the C2CAM site, and announced on air Saturday night: It is with deep sadness that we share the news that Ian Punnett passed away from a brief illness yesterday. His keen intellect and delightful sense of humor will be deeply missed. Since 2000, Ian has, in various incarnations, been a valued ho...

Re: WJOI 97fm 1987
Back in that era there was a subscription music service called Muzak that offices and other businesses would have piped into their establishments. In Detroit WMZK 97.9 was the Muzak station via a sideband from the station also known as SCA radio at 67 or 92 kHz. These may still exist today but the ...

Re: Really MeTV???
Unlike the multiple fiascos a couple of months ago, MeTV (via WDIV 4.3) seems to so far be mostly successful at carrying the Local4 non-football early evening program block(NBC Nightly, Wheel, Jeopardy), a true service for those wanting no part of MSU Football on NBC. There was one ominous cutaway f...

Re: Detroit Public TV moving, current home sold
How much space does 56 really need? This sale has been planned for two years, is it to downsize or actually increase studio space? My guess is they will move back Downtown, assuming tax incentives are adequate. The Foundation is a non-profit, so that's not a factor. There are sites in the city unde...

Re: Detroit Public TV moving, current home sold
IIRC, their building is actually two completely separate buildings, with an 'air gap' of less than 6" in between them. Don't remember the logic of why it was done that way. The building was/is not separate buildings, but the architectural modifications to make the studio spaces do make it effective...

Re: FM reception in the southeast part of the US
Tropo propagation is usually made possible by temperature inversions. Given the usual summertime weather and climate over the Gulf of Mexico and along the U.S. gulf coast, it's not surprising that there will frequently be favorable conditions along the fronts in that area. Similar conditions can be ...

Re: Xfinity is offering Peacock Premium for free to certain subscribers
Until recently, Xfinity subscribers had Peacock Premium (which Comcast owns) available at no extra charge. I didn't then (or now) find any of its content compelling enough to view when it was free, and then zero desire to pay for it. Also, the Peacock app on the Xfinity X1 box was (might still be) a...

There's also ESPN 850 Cleveland (I can't bring myself to call it WKNR ).
Signal across the lake is sketchy though, sometimes good often not.

Re: WTF?> WDIV F*cks up NBC news feed on 4.3, again.
I looked at the NBC News Now app and other streaming sites. They were not live streaming the 6:30pm NBC Nightly news program. CBET/CBC at that time was not running news of any kind. My "on demand" demand was to be able to watch the newscast as it was being originated. NBC affiliate Local4 chose not ...

Is there a single best location to find the list of digital TV signals, sub-channels of the main over-the-air TV signals in West Michigan? (Such as 13-1, 13-2, 13-3, etc.), I believe almost all the major over-the-air TV channels have these sub-channels, many of which are not picked up by area cable...
