Re: direct TV now, live chat, and 72 hour rewind option

Well, thus far we have tried to indoor antennas, one of which was amplified. No difference. It's frustrating, because there are two stations supposedly coming from essentially the same location, one of them we get. The other we don't. The one we got, Fox, my husband and I would both gladly dump

odd email behavrio

Hi all, I've noticed something a little odd and am wondering if someone can explain it, and hopefully tell me how to fix it. When I get certain kinds of messages, such as book recommendations from audible.com , I can't see the books that are being recommended. It's like t

Re: question about the new Uber app.

OK, this week was the fifth anniversary of UBER being in the DC area. They had a Pool special and I was able to find the ETA now before ordering a car though I did have some issues with the application. If anybody out there who has the newer version of the app and some experience record

Re: odd email behavrio

Most of the time i have seen this type of behavior it is because the mail was formatted with tables. Usually read all still works but sometimes out of order. Part of the issue is the table might be merging rows and/or columns, so navigation can get confused. I believe that HTML based eMail igno

What about the CBS go App on the Apple TV? Not sure if that bumps in to the same problem as the other streaming options but it might be a decent work around. > On Dec 10, 2016, at 6:56 AM, Mary Otten wrote: > > Well, thus far we have tried to indoor antennas, one of which was amplified. > No

Re: odd email behavior

Hi John, It is true that I don't see this problem when viewing the same message using Outlook in Windows. And actually, I'm not sure about this, but I don't think I saw it before Sierra. It's interesting, moving the message to the trash and then reading it also seems to solve the problem. Ye

Re: Erasing everything from a USB flash drive

Thank you for your kind words, but in all honesty I cannot claim any credit for the incredibly well thought UNIX operating system. The people that designed and implemented uNIX are far more intelligent than I and it goes without saying their combined intellects are truly remarkable. Not only t

Re: question about the new Uber app.

On an iPhone 6+, for passenger count in Uber Pool, the choice is 1 - 2 passengers. It is not a selection of 1 or 2 passengers on my Uber screen, it is a list of how many possible. The confirm button on my Uber says Confirm Pool, without specifying a number, which continues the implication for me

I need a refresher with System Preferences

Where do I go under system prefs, in Sierra, to set my default web browser? I'd like to change it from Safari over to Chrome. Thanks guys, and by the way, happy holidays! Chris. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list. If you have any questions o

Re: direct TV now, live chat, and 72 hour rewind option

Hi Brian, The answer to that question depends on your definition of excess ability. If, for instance, you expect to be able to go through the guide and know what channel you were looking at without having to know which channel any given program is on, then it is not accessible. The channel logos

Re: direct TV now, live chat, and 72 hour rewind option

Hi Mary, Thanks for the detailed explanation. I would agree with you if the channels are not being read to you than it is not accessible. Looks like I will be sticking with my Tivo app which is almost 100% accessible. Thanks again. > On Dec 10, 2016, at 3:01 PM, Mary Otten wrote: > > Hi Brian,

Re: direct TV now, live chat, and 72 hour rewind option

Just to make sure you understand, Brian, if you were on the guide page, and you go down the rows, you can see which programs are on. If you know the order of the channels, which for me is impossible to memorize, you could even know what channel you were on. It's just that the actual channel name

To add to this, you can add channels to your favorites, and you can even go to the search option and tell siri, and she will fill in the text for you and take you directly to the channel you want. > On Dec 10, 2016, at 4:55 PM, Mary Otten wrote: > > Just to make sure you understand, Brian, if y

Re: direct TV now, live chat, and 72 hour rewind option

If you want to take this a step further, just install the TV guide app on your phone, find the channel you want, and see what is currently on. That way when you go to the direct TV now app, and it reads a show, you will know what channel it is. For me, I know what comes on most channels, so no

Re: dashes in html code

Hi, Two ways to address this one. Within specific apps, under the Edit menu, in the sub-menu of Substitutions, you can uncheck the "Smart Dashes" item. If that's unavailable, or if you wish it to be turned off in all apps, go under System Prefs, Keyboard, in the Text tab and uncheck the box f
