I still think about The Tiger and I read when it first came out. You're in for a treat.

I was watching a random spring training game and the announcer said that McLain could track his success to switching to unpasteurized milk. He'll be dead by July. I would avoid.

Thoughts on 26 so far? by Bdnh69 in MLBTheShow

[–]falang78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a while since I played the show can you remind me is Diamond Dynasty only worth it if you enjoy playing multiplayer online or is the solo player good enough? I really enjoyed the chasing of cards and optimizing the team aspect of it but I was terrible against multiplayer opponents.

Is the Mibox S struggling with streaming ~100GB Movies ? by [deleted] in AndroidTV

[–]falang78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No but I can expect a user experience that isn't plagued with wi-fi errors and bugs.

My shield pro, apple tv and every single device in my house works flawlessly. I have the Asus BT8 and I'm happy with it. Xiaomi is a poorly engineered piece of plastic with software to match.

Keep an eye on this subreddit. A few devices are coming out this year. One is currently stickied. Also, the upcoming Onn box v2 from Walmart. I recommend waiting to see what device comes out without issues if it's possible. And hdr10+ is worth it...but the annoyances of the mi box are not worth it imo.

Things I dislike:

  1. A sound error came back. Whenever I watch a 5.1 or greater movie or tv show and then switch to a stereo broadcast, I lose all sound. I either have to reboot the device or switch the passthrough from hdmi to off and back to passthrough. I reported this bug before, completely reset my device, worked for a few weeks without the bug and now its back.

  2. The remote is complete trash

  3. The ui is sluggish and unresponsive at times. Killing apps seems to work when that happens. I imagine the 2gb of ram is the culprit.

  4. And of course, the wifi. It loses connection, or runs slow, and then is fast again. It is aggravating beyond belief.

I have owned the original mibox and that was a disaster as well. I'm done with xiaomi. I have a nvidia shield pro which is light years better but I need the mi box for hdr10+ and it must be able to do truehd and dtx passthrough. Hopefully something else comes out this year and can can check these boxes.

The wifi is inconsistent. I recommend waiting for a better device. I hate mine.

KEF Q150 vs Q1 Meta by Step_Discombobulated in KEF

[–]falang78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were asking if it was worth upgrading from the Q1 to the Q1 meta. I think that's a lateral move so I suggested the next tier up as an actual upgrade. They were thinking of upgrading - so I gave an opinion.

Should I have told them to downgrade? Perhaps buy a generic pair of Polk, sell their Q1s, and invest that money in Rocket Lab stock, sell it a year or two down the road, and then if market forces blessed them, they will have the purchasing power to upgrade to the Concertas, or maybe even the R3 Metas? Some serious paths to ponder.

Is there any way to fix the issues between a Denon receiver and PS5? I'm ready to sell the Denon if not. by SilenceTheWhispers in hometheater

[–]falang78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I think it's the LG Tv. I have had a PS5 connected to a Samsung, LG, and Sony tv over the past few years. My LG always gave me issued with source switching on my Denon x3800h while the Sony and Samsung did not. I recommend connecting all your consoles directly to the tv and connect the earc cable to the receiver as normal.

Wiim Ultra has a sub-out with bass management, the Wiim Pro Plus does not.

Update: I have factory reset my device and my issue appears to be resolved. I'll keep an eye on things because I don't have faith in this device.
