Given that the weather forecast is usually wrong, I guess they might as well provide some eye candy.
The most revered TV weather person here in Chicago is Tom Skilling, who is definitely not a weather girl or eye candy. I remember when I was a kid, I was interested in weather, and would watch P.J. Hoff on the TV. He would hand draw maps on brown wrapping paper, with animated features like the sun moving across the map as he pulled a string. The latest technology at the time. Kids could write in to get one of the used maps, which I did. No, I don’t still have the map. https://www.robertfeder.com/2014/09/10/remembering-p-j-hoff-chicagos-original-weatherman-with-character/ From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Jaime Solorza Sent: Monday, May 18, 2020 10:44 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT OTA receivers Yep...I got caught yesterday...damn On Mon, May 18, 2020, 9:19 AM James Howard <ja...@litewire.net <mailto:ja...@litewire.net> > wrote: And you’re especially attentive during the weather forecasts…… From: AF [mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com <mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com> ] On Behalf Of Jaime Solorza Sent: Monday, May 18, 2020 10:15 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com <mailto:af@af.afmug.com> > Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT OTA receivers My wife finally cancelled DirectTV after many years since she uses Nehfleece more now.

I switched to airTV and then converted it to Sling. It is buggy. Does not always record what you tell it to, it will not allow fast forward on local channels and the audio level is much higher than all my other hdmi inputs like Roku. So looking again for an ATA receiver. Walmart has a really low cost unit that can record if you connect an external drive. It allows time shift etc. Does not stream over you network, you will have to have it connected to your display. And you will have to feed it an RF TV signal. But the whole streaming over the network by Tivo and Sling/AirTV has not exactly been flawless. Anyone using anything else they really like? One of my larger spots in the house to watch TV has a large monitor with no F connector. So I need something there. I would like something with a channel guide so that is one thing Sling does for me. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com _____ Total Control Panel Login <https://asp.reflexion.net/login?domain=litewire.net> To: ja...@litewire.net <https://asp.reflexion.net/address-properties?aID=242260993&domain=litewire.net> From: af-boun...@af.afmug.com <mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com> You received this message because the domain afmug.com <http://afmug.com> is on your allow list. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
