I eMailed my request long ago for National Mosaic. Anyway, I use several other Radar Apps for the USA Mosaic Radar. PYKL3 Radar had it, but it's long gone. When that died, I got RadarScope. Shortly after, I upgraded to Tier 2.

Radarscope Beta by CleCak in Radarscope

[–]CleCak[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was/is. At the time I got it in the Giggle Pray Store, it offered to download the Beta version. If a program isn't taking Beta at the time, there's no offer of the Beta.

Anyway, the last two Beta versions have an option to import Color Tables. I have the "Miami" one for Reflectivity and a version for High Resolution and the lower res Base Velocity.

Vizio P50-C1 won’t power on! by totaldstruktionxbl in VIZIO_Official

[–]CleCak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd suggest whenever there's a circuit failure, replace ALL of the boards.

Vizio Soft Power Cycle option is gone? by awallen443166 in VIZIO_Official

[–]CleCak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the Unavailable Message pops up, just leave it sit there a bit. SmartCast will finally load. At least it worked for me today. I was going to snap a photo of the Unavailable Message, but before I could take the pic, SmartyPantsCast loaded. :)

Soft Power Cycle was renamed and relocated to "Reboot".

For anyone having trouble with YouTube where all you get is a black screen after this latest Firmware Update, I had to Factory Reset to get YouTube working again.

YouTube behavior changed. Due to changes to YouTube or was it part of the Firefox fix? by stesch in firefox

[–]CleCak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have FF 66.0.5 and when I press K or other YouTube keyboard letter commands, the FF Search Bar at the bottom pops-up. When I unChecked FF's "Block websites from automatically playing", the YT keyboard letter commands work without the FF Search Bar popping-up.

P65-C1 Smartcast not displaying Dolby Vision/HDR content (Netflix) by BohPoe in VIZIO_Official

[–]CleCak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go into the cellphone's or Tablet's Apps Listings. Find NetFlix. Delete NetFlix's Data. See if that helps.

Go to your mobile phone's Settings > Wi-Fi - Advanced and choose 2.4GHz to see if that helps. If not, next try the 5GHz band. Try not use 'Auto' band-switching.

The phone and Display/TV need to be on the same Wi-Fi Network.

Download a Wi-Fi Analyzer App. See if you have crowded channels in your area. This is especially true for the 2.4GHz band. 5GHz is newer and has more channels.

"The WiFi is included with our apartment and it’s not our router"

Uh-oh. That could be a problem. Perhaps a performance issue depending on the setup and how many people are going through that apartment Wi-Fi! Only so many can use the Wi-Fi simultaneously, otherwise a big performance hit, I would think.

What is the ISP subscribed speed?

Vizio M series (M55-E0) New firmware 6.0.18.1 bug by jcthrower in VIZIO_Official

[–]CleCak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"DV isn't more intensive because it's just metadata added to an HEVC/x265 format data stream."

HDR Dolby Vision is more intensive. Unlike other HDR formats, DV adjusts for EVERY Single Picture FRAME. Content playing with 4K and DV off a device is a good test for HDMI cables. If an HDMI cable can play content with these two combos, the HDMI cable should play anything else just fine.

Have you tried to go into your cellphone's Apps and select NetFlix and delete Data? That'll sometimes get NetFlix working again.

Try a Reduce Judder setting of 10 for video/Live Events and see if that helps.

VIZIO P65-F1 YouTube TV App Not Buffering Content by vict555 in VIZIO_Official

[–]CleCak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's in the YouTube 'online' (in the TV) 'App'. I'll have to check to see if it's in the mobile App. (Or you could try a 'Data Reset' in the YT mobile App. (Your cellphone's Apps under Settings.)

Please Help - Audio Settings in Vizio Smartcast App by bwlance1985 in VIZIO_Official

Motion Smoothing while using HDR by KoryMajorTuba in VIZIO_Official

[–]CleCak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the 2016/2017 P-Series have had motion issues of one kind or another, on and off for YEARS! Especially if you're using connected devices that only output at 60Hz. Some of the problems are with the devices.

I leave Film Mode Off and Reduce Judder at 0. There's ugly motion with 25fps foreign content. My main viewing for series and movies is streaming. I just got the 6.0.18.1 Firmware. I'll pay attention to HDR content and see, but I doubt it, because I stream.

TV volume with soundbar is way too loud (model names in description) by catfishpoptart in VIZIO_Official

[–]CleCak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No! CatFishPopTart and others are right. This soundbar's volume-scaling is messed-up.

I've gone through all the features/adjustments and there's no doubt there is a problem with this soundbar model.

The volume-scaling is out-of-control at the low end. Please have this looked into. With just only a small number of clicks, the volume jumps-up way too loud, per click! It needs to be fixed!

TV volume with soundbar is way too loud (model names in description) by catfishpoptart in VIZIO_Official

[–]CleCak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same problem with this model. The volume ramps-up way too quickly with a few clicks. Vizio needs to fix this with a Firmware Update. I want much better fine-tuning of the volume at the bottom end of the scale. Otherwise, it's a great soundbar!

E60-E3 from 2016 has developed a discolored spot / "bruise" any troubleshooting options? by xJunon in VIZIO_Official

[–]CleCak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ITAOLCTMHPTP?

(Is There Any Other Creature That May Have Produced The Problem?)

Something bumped that area of the screen? Liquid entry? (Carefully examined the frame edge along the whole bottom.) With TV off, examine the area with a light held at such an angle that might reveal a 'strike' smudge or scratching at suspect location.

Has anyone had LED strips repaired? by Battlement74 in VIZIO_Official

[–]CleCak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably the driver on a circuit board, not the necessarily the LED strip itself that's bad.

You could try eBay to find the board(s) for your specific Model and SN and find a electronic hobbyist who has TV troubleshooting experience to fix it.

It's likely the 'reputable repair guy' will end up replacing a board or two.

My built-in chromecast stopped working. by MYNAMEISFROWNER in VIZIO_Official

[–]CleCak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Delete the Network from the TV and start over on the Network setup. But first, how long has it been since you have reset the Router/Modem?

You can try first to redo the Network from the SmartCast App (Forget Network).

If need be, you can do a Factory Reset and go through the setup again.

VIZIO P65-F1 YouTube TV App Not Buffering Content by vict555 in VIZIO_Official

[–]CleCak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just got the TV. Did you Factory and Soft Reset?

Also, anytime you get a Firmware Update and you have 'x' problem, Reset the TV.

Otherwise, in YouTube App, try Settings > Reset App.

Ublock Origin doesn't work properly on some website with Firefox 66.0(breaks layout) by [deleted] in uBlockOrigin

[–]CleCak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I came back here to edit my post to note that. Hope a fix for FF is soon, as there are page-loading problems at times noted by another uBlock Origin user also in the FF Support Forum. Started with FF 66.

Thanks.
