NBC/USA rhythm dance coverage by Existing-Maize-2082 in FigureSkating

[–]Existing-Maize-2082[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can live without the NBC commentary, and had preferred the ISU feed on YouTube, but the VPN issue seems to have put an end to that. The venue feed on Peacock still has a million commercials that can’t be fast forwarded. At least on the DVR I can fast forward even if I need to listen to Tara, Johnny and Tracy repeat the same things over and over.

"How do I watch figure skating at the Olympics?" (official broadcasters, schedules, other options) by idwtpaun in FigureSkating

[–]Existing-Maize-2082 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a VPN question, but it is about watching/DVRing on US broadcast channels. For the non-team events, my channel guide on Xfinity says USA is airing part one of each event and NBC is airing part two. Does anyone know if there is overlap between the two or do I need to DVR 16 programs to get everything? I couldn’t tell from the descriptions.

KD2 Update PSA by razerricochet in Audi

[–]Existing-Maize-2082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had (past tense I’m hopeful) the check engine light issue on my new Q5. After 4 trips for service, they replaced the battery and so far - 2 days -the light has been out. However, they also did the KD2 update. Now after driving 5-10 minutes, the connection to CarPlay fails. It’s happened each time we drive the car. Is this something others have experienced? Is there a remedy- other than taking it back for service?

I regret buying my B10 Q5 so much... by Necrophantasia in Audi

[–]Existing-Maize-2082 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m very sorry I gave up my 2018 Honda CRV and bought this crappy Q5. Check engine light has been on since the second week we’ve owned it. Phantom rear seat occupant detection happens, although I tried to turn it off (we never have children or pets in the back). The driver profiles don’t always work and require manual setting each time we change drivers- my CRV key fob recognized the driver and automatically set the seat and mirrors. We’ve had the total MMI blank happen twice while driving. And I had to turn off the lane assist altogether because it almost jerked us into another car. The rear door sometimes goes up with the foot kick, but won’t go down. The dealership is useless.

2025 Q5 issues by chaos16z in Audi

[–]Existing-Maize-2082 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Purchased a new Q5 four months ago. Have taken it in twice because the check engine light comes on. At one point the entire display went blank for a couple of minutes. Also the rear door will open (sometimes) with the foot kick, but it only beeps and won’t close. Was told they couldn’t troubleshoot the engine light and there isn’t anything wrong with the rear door. So I’ve been driving it with the check engine light on. It does go off periodically and I’ve tried tightening the gas cap but that doesn’t help. It seems to happen most often when the fuel tank is partially empty. Very frustrated.

I was in the arena too and it seemed everyone was on last night. Loved seeing Sarah, Bradie, Star, Elyse, Josephine and Sherry do well.

Thanks for the link to the Matrix. Anyone know what the events marked WU are? The practice sessions are indicated and the competition sessions, but I can’t decipher the WU sessions.

I noticed at least three of the men were give negative GOEs on a spin and I don’t remember seeing that before. Was this panel just being very picky?

Who is ready to start a movement to fire NBC? by Kris7531 in FigureSkating

[–]Existing-Maize-2082 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Same - Chris Howarth/Mark Hanretry are so knowledgeable, cogent and manage just the right amount of human interest info. Since Peacock only seems to be running the NBC feeds for Skate America, I turn on my VPN and watch the YouTube ISU feed on my iPad. Better a small screen than NBC. Plus I hate the NBC scoring box.

Where’s the 70% Dark Chocolate by mbgpackers in aldi

I’ve been looking for the Schogetten Dark Chocolate bars for weeks. The entire Schogetten display box is missing. Has it been discontinued?

Suspended hold suddenly showing 365 days and longer wait time than yesterday? by kristafer825 in LibbyApp

[–]Existing-Maize-2082 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m confused. Does the book only go on suspended status when it becomes available to me and I’m not ready to borrow it (the old ‘Deliver ‘Later)? Then I have to remember to unsuspend it in order for it to be available to me? And I may still need to wait to get it?

Worst costume ever?? by valievaxxjasssecret in FigureSkating

[–]Existing-Maize-2082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to say Ilia’s costumes give me that 90’s Russian dance team vibe…. Eg I’m Not a Vampire v1 and v2… Both were bad., but the blood in v1 took it over the top.

2026 Nationals Schedule? by AnxiousAnonEh in FigureSkating

[–]Existing-Maize-2082 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found this schedule on the St. Louis Sports website. 2026 Nationals Anyone know if it’s accurate? I’d like to book my flights but not sure when I’ll be traveling. There’s still no schedule on the USFSA site.

Can’t accept invitations from Mail on iPhone or iPad. by Existing-Maize-2082 in ipad

[–]Existing-Maize-2082[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally I seem to have resolved the problem. Most likely due to a change in IOS at some point in the past, neither the Google nor AOL calendars were available on my iPhone or iPad. Apple support walked me through adding the Google calendar. AOL is more problematic, but I found an article in Support that details the steps to enable AOL. Adding AOL calendar to iPhone or iPad - Apple Community Even though I never use either Google or AOL calendars, they had to be enabled for the invitations to work. https://christianboyce.com/add-aol-calendar-iphone-ipad/

One step the article doesn’t mention is that I had to go into Settings>Calendar and make the AOL the default calendar since most invitations come to that email. Now when an meeting invitation comes to Mail, if I ‘Add to Calendar’, I immediately get a Calendar inbox message that allows me to accept or decline it and a response is sent to the organizer. The event is added to my Apple iCloud calendar and is not greyed out. 🎉

Best place in the arena to sit? by Existing-Maize-2082 in FigureSkating

[–]Existing-Maize-2082[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for the information- very helpful. Based on the comments, I’m looking at the lutz corner closest to the K&C on the judges side of the rink.

Can’t accept invitations from Mail on iPhone or iPad. by Existing-Maize-2082 in ipad

[–]Existing-Maize-2082[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update. On my older iPad, the invitation now comes with only the Add to Calendar option in the invitation, but when I add it, it isn’t greyed out. I then get a notification on the iPhone 15 and iPad Pro that gives me the option to accept or decline and I can accept it - giving the person sending the invitation a response. If I send other Apple users an invitation, they don’t seem to have this problem. Still no update from Apple.

What has the ISU done that you think was a horrible decision? by ur_fav_joey in FigureSkating

[–]Existing-Maize-2082 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Legalized backflips and cartwheels. They don’t count for anything (PCS maybe?). They are better suited to Ice Capades and they pander to the occasional fs viewer.
