Stuff I watched recently...

[Stehle]

"The Handmaids Tale" season ending made me cry, I knew there would be at least a season 4.

Awwww let all that estrogen out of your system...

It is a good show, good visuals, but... well read or listen to the book by Margaret Atwood.

[Canadian's know how write novels very well too!]

Okay, yes you are correct. It seems I may have a router bottle neck (or limit) I will get a new one soon. Everything I have is hardwired. Yes, at times I d/l massive and multiple files at times while I'm steaming. Hooking my new Dell directly to the modem I get about 463ishmbs+, though I only pay for 400mbs.

Sorry for the late response buddy, but doesn't the ISP offer you a modem/router?? Here where i am i just use the one that my ISP gives me and it is pretty good, again if you are paying for that speed, they usually give you one no??

My streaming box software is I guess hybrid mix of LibreELEC and KODI software maintained by a close friend with a lot of decent sites linked or sourced. (He maintains it, as it all gibberish to me.) "Every network, all the time." he sez.
So... that's all good, but big shite, because my asshat ways does suffer by freezing big video at times. The BluRay shite anything at least 25gb or bigger I transfer with 3.1 USB to a 128gb. thumb drive than plug it into one of the four ports on my box. (I could go directly to the ROKU 4K and plug it in, but it may have an issue with a few files, so I don't bother.)

Will try to explain on the next thing you explained

"...are you connecting a portable HD directly to the TV??" Hmm... No haven't gone through the wall for the DirecTV dvr with Cat 6 or 7 yet. Streaming Box IS hardwired and goes to ROKU with HDMI cable.

Ok for both of your comments Stele, i am not talking about any of your connections now, if you are connected direct to the internet wired not wifi, you will get the best speeds possible from your provider, what i should have asked really (or i missed it somewhere??), is do you have smart TV's?? If you do?? Most of them have a USB port built in and as soon as you plug in any drive be it thumb or portable it will either recognize it automatically or in one of the sources in your TV, and if it is a smart TV?? and all updated with the latest software?? It will have all the necessary codex's and crap to play it direct from the TV and not filter it through another source?? But that again depends on if you have smart TV's right.. Again all of your other connections have nothing to do with what i was trying to explain. Before all i had was Plasma's and I lost one and replaced it with a LED smart tv, and eliminated multiple boxes because i can stream right to it with software or plug a HDD right into it... The same if you are downloading as i can assume??, you are storing it somewhere right?? Well you can also use "Plex" (more popular one) or others (I use UMS to be honest), and it will have everything built into it to stream anything you pretty much download, and yes the picture quality is way better to stream internally than from the internet, so basically you are turning your home into a internal streaming place, and yes you can use any boxes that you have that has kodi in stuff on it, basically UPnP...I actually think what you are doing is tougher and you can make it easier for yourself, not move shit all over and have one computer do everything for you, if that makes sense?? And if you get frustrated!!!, there is a ton of people here that can guide you through all of that crap[/QUOTE]

A new spinal issue in the neck 3 weeks ago and an incarcerated hernia (so the doctors tell he) are stopping me from doing much of the things I'd like to do right now, so here I sit pecking on the keyboard. Until the pains too much.
("incarcerated"...weird frigging word for it... almost makes me laugh, but I really shouldn't... almost though.) Long story there.

I am really really!! sorry to hear buddy, i can tell you i don't wish back pain on anybody!!!! I know it is the worst (actually 2nd to kidney in my experience tho), i hope you get fixed up Stehle, and like i said if you are up to it or you have someone to help you at home, lots of people can walk you through to try to make it easier for you to have ease on watching stuff

Feel better buddy....

Regards
Shay

This ... series centers on a young woman pursued by shadowy paranormal adversaries while grappling with extraordinary abilities of her own.

So basically every series after 2018.

I suppose I could be coerced to watch it if Olivia Munn were to come to my house and promise to blow me if I did.

MIIB international
not as funny as the first one with Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith
