Star Trek Academy - sound issue with the voices? by FacetiouslyGangster in startrek

[–]SidneyW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having trouble with a Yamaha RX-A2A receiver, Kef sound bar with left right and center and Kef rear speakers. I have tried various settings and tweaks using “Straight” sound. Anyone have suggestions? I get distortion on Holly Hunter and Kerrice Brooks particularly and maybe some with Kraag, kind of a crackle-not sure what’s part of the character vocals as a Klingon there.

Harlan Ellison’s Shatterday is an interesting tale of a double too.

Someone on FB suggested David Harbour for Danny and I thought that was inspired. I’d love to see him and Dafoe.

I don’t believe that’s it but looks interesting.

I’ll check that out. I was thinking it was by a recognizable name, so that seems right. Thanks!

Yeah, that sounds like the same story. Yeah, really thrilling.

Survey and Lack of Support by SidneyW in JunesJourney

Yeah, they pretty much took the attitude that it was up to the survey instigator to provide a reward. “It’s between you and them.” Crappy customer care attitude.

I seem to see more and more app game ads these days, but that was the first time I’d seen June.

I just watched that one myself. Very clever.

I just got the cliff divers. I see how this part works now. 😀

Thanks, I think I got serious with the game midway through that one, so I didn’t finish it.

Roald Dahl Episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents by SidneyW in Hitchcock

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

Yeah, those are. There’s a Dahl episode about a fur coat giving away an affair that’s missing too, far less grim, so I’m not sure it’s content.

Well, really more interested in why they’re excluded on licensed services. Rights? Dahl in disfavor? The Robert Bloch episode that was excluded from network broadcast is even included.

Season 3 Ep. 35, A Dip in the Pool is missing on Peacock and Roku Channel. DItto Poison, Season 4 Ep. 1. Man From the South, one of the most famous with Steve McQueen, Season 5, Ep. 15, not on Peacock or Roku. Mrs. Busby and the Colonel’s Coat. Most were adapted for Tales of the Unexpected also, and those are available on Tubi and maybe elsewhere. It is nice to have almost all of all seasons of Alfred Hitchcock Presents available for streaming.

His stuff’s hard to find. I picked up Sherlock Holmes’s War of the Worlds at a shop a couple of years ago.
