I doubt Netflix will be in trouble. For those of us who still have physical media players, BR, UHD-BR, DVD, anything I want to see that is exclusive to any of these new services will almost certainly release on physical media. It is another chance for these services to make a profit, and they...

See this.

Personally, I would term it "started seeking ratings."

Not trying to argue, but if you select some respectful country and your destination is then back in the US, how does that play out especially if your origin ISP has injected a supercookie into your originating packets? All the data in the VPN stream will be encrypted, true. However, there are...

ISPs and the puppets that have ISP strings attached.

As I understand it, even a VPN will not shield an internet user because eventually, that user's data pops out of the VPN onto the network of some other ISP. That ISP is then free to sell it, or, if it is the same ISP yet in a different region, it may be harder for them to piece the data back...

Personally, I am looking forward to ATSC 3.0. The biggest reason is that they are getting rid of the reliance on 8VSB in ATSC 1.0 which was an analog modulation schema for a digital signal. On researching this, I am sure that you will find that signal strength was not reduced with the...

I still listen to FM and AM radio in my car anyway. I am not in favor of buying a data plan for my cell phone which would allow me to stream the stations that I listen to OTA in the car. Call me old fashioned if you like. If my car radio had HD Radio, I would listen to that. I think HD Radio is...

Having an HTPC, I would much prefer to spend my money on a 4K Blu-ray capable drive and the software to play those disks, and I will hold off buying a 4K Blu-ray player for the day, if ever, the ability to play 4K BR disks comes to the PC. As usual, TPTB are playing their games and this option...

I have to agree with this. Hiding in plain sight is a great way to put it. Besides, as I previously noted, the comments about throwing out the outer box, which would be essential to ship these anywhere without damage, I am also not impressed by this statement: I listened to the 85Fs and 95Fs...

I am using Command Fusion myself. While it has a dedicated program to develop user interfaces and as such, it might not be friendly to the non-technical user, it is far more capable than any of the remotes mentioned.

Why would a dealer throw out the outer box? What if the purchaser moves and needs to ship the speakers or, they sell them later and need to ship them? IMO, its best to keep all boxes at the least because they raise the price a seller can get for used equipment. I know someone who bought...

Yes, misinterpreting the graphic in the manual, for sure. I find it a bit misleading. However, going into power amp assign in the setup, the only configuration that allows use of an external power amp on the 1050 is a 7.1 bi-amp configuration where 4 of the 7 internal amps are used for the...

OK, so you are partly correct. The 1050 has 7 internal amplifiers, however, it can process 9 channels at a time. See page 22 of the manual (Advanced Speaker Configuration) that shows using an external amp to power the surround back speakers - as the second of three possible configurations. I...

I own a 1050 and it allows 7.1.2, i.e, full 7.1 plus the two front presence channels. This is clearly stated in the "Features" section on page 6 of the US manual and in the speaker terminals on page 12. Since the presence channels are labelled "Presence/Zone 2" on the speaker terminal diagram, I...

As I see it, it makes no difference whether Mr. Low had zero to do with the production of this video or not especially if he knew of the video and its content for a year before it was debunked. To know of something fraudulent in your own company and to not expose it and remove it from your...

Sold!

Unit is now up for auction on e-bay.

I've stuck with brick and mortar. In general, my local A/V/Photo store is competitive on price, and the support is superb. Plus, If I were to buy new speakers, I would be able to go into the store to listen to them first. You simply cannot do that over the internet. ;)

Yamaha RX-A1030 in excellent condition including original box and all original accessories plus latest, 1.60, firmware. Full details here at the Yamaha site: There is an almost imperceptible blemish on the top right rear of the receiver half-way between the middle and the edge of the unit that...
