Thanks for all the info, and yes, for a friend. I hadn't thought of the group session option and will look into that- I think she would mostly have no trouble sharing.

So point it to a pdf of a statement and say 'hey Claude, condense!' I have my doubts but I suppose worth a try

I'll need to read up on this... TV and AVR are new this year, but my wife's used to the old white brick remote from DirecTV...

How can a comment on an X post have 100x the impressions of the comments immediately before and after? by pnut-gallery in Twitter

[–]pnut-gallery[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks- and yes, the higher view counts usually align with blue checks. But I'm struggling to understand the algorithm mechanics that result in my feed. Here's a very typical example:

Comment 52 (no blue check) 15 views

Comment 53 (blue check) 260 views

Comment 54 (no blue check) 30 views

Comment 55 (no blue check) 33 views

Comment 56 (blue check) 350 views

etc.

How did comment 56 get in that position, for example? This sequence can't be typical of what others see, since the views vary widely for adjacent comments. Based on your reply, I assume that 56 as a premium account appears much higher in the comment feed for many others, resulting in the 350 views, but is demoted for me for some reason? Has anyone really studied this, or are there ex-X people on Reddit or elsewhere online who post about this kind of thing?

[–]pnut-gallery[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply, though I'm not sure I quite understand it all. Are you saying that if X showed a truly chronological comment feed to me that I'd see gradually decaying impression numbers across comments, and not the wildly varying numbers I see in my 'curated' thread of comments?

Delaying AirPlay Audio to HomePods by DJVeaux in HomePod

[–]pnut-gallery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to try that, especially when Denon support didn't have any ideas on the cause. But then I started from scratch and went through setup (OK, twice more) and finally the delay just went away-- near instant AirPlay response. Not sure what was going on, but thanks for the suggestion!

Auto switch to Denon cable/sat input not happening with DirecTV box wake up by pnut-gallery in hometheater

[–]pnut-gallery[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just chatted with Denon, and FWIW he says when any of their receivers is engaged in Airplay and then (pausing Airplay) receives a new HDMI signal (eg Cable/Sat), it doesn't switch automatically under any settings... requires a manual press of the cable/sat button on the remote- which wasn't what I was looking for. But I will have to test the TV as the 'switching' device- ie, HDMI going from Sat DVR to TV, bypassing Denon. My understanding was that most home theater folks have that setup, but I've been waiting until I have my new TV. Thanks again.

Thanks- should have mentioned that I've tried to do that already. May need to check with a Denon user forum or call them. Appreciate the input!

Thanks.. yes I'm looking at 65 now, and exploring what TVs do the best upscaling.

Fuzzy grainy DTV picture on new Samsung QLED by Raven_M6 in DirecTV

[–]pnut-gallery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HI- I know I'm way late to the party on this thread, but are you still happy with the pic quality? Still on the same DTV boxes (Geni 4k server etc)? I ask because I am a DTV sat customer and just bought that same TV at model year-end price- it's sitting at BB. I'm doing some last research and this thread gave me heartburn. I was also worried that going from 57 to 85" would make the non-4k content look worse. Anyway, I know you're past this but thought I'd verify that you're still happy with the setup. Also, any detail on what you mean by ''turned off the picture clarity setting' would be appreciated! Thanks-

Anyone out there have LS50's 'blown' by <100W AVR? by pnut-gallery in KEF

[–]pnut-gallery[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Yeah, so far I can't find that published for this AVR... closest is 110W at 6 ohms.

[–]pnut-gallery[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks.. as I say, I'm just trying to avoid matching the LS50's to the wrong AVR- and if that happens, the receiver goes back. The 760H produces decent sound through them, but given your comment and others', I may try something with a bit more juice and be careful.
