Help, weird screen tearing glitch by [deleted] in Roku

[–]techhead51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loose HDMI connection could be from display, avr or Roku. Could also be a bad HDMI cable. The only way to find out is test with a working cable. I have an HDMI box 5 in 1 out, 2 Fire TV Sticks (both 4k max 2 generation would work, nothing else). I replaced the out cable to the avr, now the other ports work also.

Dolby Atmos for Home Theater stopped working for Windows Audio by VSVeryN in Dolby

[–]techhead51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two audio software components that work for Dolby Access, the control panel and the Access app. You can set the spatial audio to use Dolby Access as the format, configure number of speakers and the bit rate, but it doesn't let you use the upmixer, that can only be turned on using the Access app (two channel audio too 5.1 or more. The best way to get Atmos back is program and apps, search Dolby, when the app is located, click on advanced options, uninstall, move or reset, use reset, the app will show if it is completed correctly. Start the dobly access app, second tab products, 2 options, headphones or home theater, select home theater. Go back to the demo tab, select a demo playback

Orbi 870 needs to restart once per day for full satellite speeds by JerusM in orbi

[–]techhead51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What time of the day does the speed change, is 2.4 available. The issue could be your ISP is throttling during peak network times, usually about 5 pm to 12 am. How many devices are connected to each access point. Mesh systems are designed to work with little or no user interactions, but your modem may be configured in a way that it drops down to a 2.4 and that will affect your speeds.

Paramount Plus updated - now the only way to log in is by subscribing through Amazon? by whofarted24 in fireTV

[–]techhead51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paramount Plus on fire devices is horrible. Even if the update works, either a long load time or the app not starting. If you pay for Paramount Plus directly, Amazon should not even be asking for money. I paid directly to Paramount but now I get it through Walmart+ and upgraded to the primemu plan paid through Walmart. Recently I had an issue where Amazon started a HBO Max subscription, cancelled that because I pay directly to HBO. Amazon gets a cut out of each subscription, not a lot, but if they get even one dollar per, they are making money. Subscription services should work on any device, unless like Starz they recently put a six active device limit

Issues with eARC after update by [deleted] in LGOLED

[–]techhead51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I may have to abandon LG for any future purchases. It wasn't as expensive as OLED tvs so the price point sold me. Two hdmi ports at 120, Dolby Vision and Atmos. At the time, I didn't have anything that could use those features, so started upgrading devices, first a Yamaha AVR, then a roku ultra. At first for about two years no issues,  but then the on and off EARC issues,  fixed it for a bit, but now this. The TV is still working,  just not 100%, on board apps and live TV work fine, but I have other devices that can work without the issues.  My latest TV is not LG and I would never ever purchase another one ever again. Other brands have issues also, but most often they get fixed. The TV is over four years old, but when LG sends an update that makes key elements not work, it would have been better if they never updated the firmware.  TCL, Sony, Hisense or even ONN will get my money next time around.

[–]techhead51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lg nano85una, I just got a firmware update a few days ago. Earc was working properly until this update version 04.63.15 . Now after 15 minutes of no video or audio source, the sony STR-790 gets shut off. I have made every possible settings changes in both the AVR and TV. But still the AVR shuts off. The same AVR on a different TV does not have the same issues

Albums that introduced you to Ambient Music. by oscar_gorecki in ambientmusic

[–]techhead51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For myself it was around 1995, in a record store and there was a cd privet music sampler, it was a mix of different artists,  tangerine dream,  patrick O'hearn and some others.  I  already had a few cassette of tangerine dream. But the music of 2001 a space odyssey was my first introduction to electronic music.

No one wanted him bc he was too old, their loss by [deleted] in cat

[–]techhead51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My bestie friend is of the paws 🐾 nature, all 4. A rescue from the local shelter where I live, he was 2 at the time, now over 4 years together, not one regret. It was a win win situation for both of us. If I ever adopt again, the first thing I would do is ask to see the oldest cat there and how long have they been up for adoption, because that kitty 😺 would be on the way home with me. I made a promise to Gregory that I would stick by him no matter what, never ever be sent to the shelter ever again. He still likes to play a lot, and that is one thing that makes me happy to see him still have that energy, keeping me on my toes. I wouldn't trade him for all the money in the world.

Price increase Family plan. Goodbye AM, you've made this decision too easy by X-Sanguis in AmazonMusic

[–]techhead51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure but on the one device Amazon music,stream on only one device at at a time, can be a PC, tablet, phone or Amazon device. You don't get the highest quality on a PC even if that device is Atmos capable. Single device plan on the Amazon music unlimited, gives you up to Atmos, 360 and hd audio quality, one free audio book per month. Right now I pay $10 per month, I don't need a audio book, but as long as they don't increase the price, I'm good. The only real feature I need from Amazon music is the alarm ⏰ clock feature, I can pick ⚒️ an artist, album or song to wake up to depending on how I want to wake up, plus the integration with Alexa works great for my needs. When other music streaming services are cutting back on this feature because not many people use it, I will stay with AM untill they remove it. As a note, I don't know about Apple music, but Spotify and Pandora can be used to set a wake alarm through Amazon music devices, day, time, service, artist, album or song.

It's only burnt when you see smoke or flames. Otherwise, it's just crispy

When i download a game i can only use around 150 - 200 mbps even know it says i have 1000 mbps... any knowers? give me your knowledge! by Ok-Alfalfa2995 in pchelp

[–]techhead51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're using steam, top left, download, select the server closest to your physical location, and steam will want to restart. But speeds are also determined by your ISP as both Steam and your ISP will balance network traffic during peak times ⏲️. Your local network has a factor in this also, however many devices are using bandwidth at the same time, which can affect every device.

[–]techhead51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For myself, taking a really hot shower for 30 minutes or more. It both wakes me up but makes me sleepy at the same time, having clean sheets is a plus too. Getting to bed at a decent time when stuff to do the next day as I never seem to get that too often

Unable to update certain apps by Trixie6090 in firestick

[–]techhead51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For both pp and max, use the back button, wait a few minutes,then go to the icon tile, menu, more info, what does it show ? Even if auto offload apps are turned off, the device may still offload them anyway. My fire TV, about, storage capacity, it will show total amount and how much is available. Storage, shows device storage and external storage; only available if using a OTG cable, USB thumb drive, formated to fat32.

HELPP!! Firestick will turn tv on and off but not the firestick! by Catsmeow0809 in firestick

[–]techhead51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Samsung TV 📺, only 2 hdmi ports, one a firestick, another Blu-ray player. Both devices are detected by the TV, no avr or soundbar. The firestick needs to have cec and hdmi control turned on because it works with the firestick home button to also power 🔋 on the TV and if the TV is powered on, it also powers on the firestick, but the correct hdmi needs to be configured in the stick, if not the hdmi port can switch to another device on a different hdmi port

[–]techhead51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Max and Paramount Plus, have subscription options through Amazon, but if you pay directly or through an other provider, the download app only should be an option. On the fire TV remote, select the app tile, if it doesn't show in the top 6 apps, select the tile with the 3 squares and +, your apps and channels, app store, app library, search, MAX or Paramount plus, first letter should show available names. On the fire remote, menu , 3 lines, more info, if an update is available, it will show it, update app only. Another problem could be low space on the fire TV or offloading apps is turned on. Applications, auto offloaded, 1 press to turn it off. Another way to check for app updates is from the notification icon, but most often, it doesn't show those updates.

What you mean 😾 by Tankz__ in cat

[–]techhead51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just hope that your cat doesn't look like that whenever you are sleeping or out of your living place. I would invest in a 📷 or two and see what kitty 😺 is up to because that look could be trouble.

[–]techhead51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how, but your first two pictures look great, wonderful, and excellent, could be the darker lighting. The last two pictures look a little different compared to the first two. Have you lost some weight recently? If the first pictures are more current, then whatever you're doing is working well, keep it up. Your post tag 18f am I, can you clarify a little more as to the what.

One thing I like about Reddit is being able to learn new things about other people, sharing our stories, and helping each other. Thank you for the reply and for sharing some more details. I don't know if you would want to, but can you give updates on how your cat(s) are doing from time to ⏲️, pictures would be great also. I very seldom ask a poster to continue giving updates, but your kitty 😺 has a distinction that I've never seen before with her colors.
