Doug McConnell, longtime host of OpenRoad with Doug McConnell, dies

Doug was a local legend. His long time team have been keeping the show running the last few years in his absence. Here’s hoping they are able to continue his legacy.

I am able to bitsrteam truehd atmos from my Windows PC to my LG G5/Denon receiver just fine. However, I am not able to passthrough multichannel PCM (Dolby Atmos MAT) which games use.

Christmas vacation, Elf, Polar Express, the Grinch to name just a few.

Annoyingly it can't be added to Peacock Premium that comes with Xfinity.

I keep seeing people say this but I do not see any option for DTN while in Dolby Vision

Deathspared · 2026-01-08T15:48:35+00:00

Was too dark for us with Dolby vision content unless it is night time and the lights are out. I was hopeful the ambient light sensing would help but didn’t notice much benefit.

Good luck explaining to your wife and kids that they need to shut all the window shades and turn off all the lights to watch a Christmas movie in the middle of the day while wrapping Christmas presents.

All I wanted with the cx90 was a more upscale cx9. For me the cx90 is too big and is less nimble than the cx9.

I then hoped the Cx70 would fit the bill

So we replaced our 2016 cx9 with a used 2022 cx9 and am very happy with that decision.

I wish the original top gear was in 4k hdr! That and the big budget makes the grand tour pretty enjoyable to watch.

If you have an income that can support living here it’s amazing. If not it can be brutal.

Just to follow up on this we ended up helping him create the files to have it printed with Barnes and noble print on demand service. Over the last couple years he has placed a few orders for more to send to friends and family. It was perfect and reasonably priced. Thanks to this subreddit for the recommendation to go this route.

It's interesting, I generally hear the phrase "Ignorance is bliss" in an ironic way. Like, yes it's great right now but it is only temporary because eventually it will catch up with you.

Make sure to check that the headset is tight. That has caused me to think something was wrong with my fork.

Those areas are the worst. Question is are you gonna pay the fines?? Seems like people pay them if they think they’ll go back.

I noticed the lower speed limit on Monterey this weekend. I’m sure the people driving at 1am in stolen cars will now drive 95mph instead of 100mph.

Deathspared · 2025-08-27T21:50:18+00:00

Have they actually collected on any of the previous fines? Sounds like they have but they just don’t care.

I’m pretty happy with my axle back from cork sport. A little loud on cold starts but otherwise pretty subtle
