Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Shouldn't any 4K TV have it's own up-converter? And shouldn't it not be any better than the 1080P Content?

[nem 2,019]

No, when I was looking at them I was told to get the most out of it you have to buy the up converter to get until the cable companies can provide a 4k signal.

[nem 2,019]

A friend bought a Sharp Q+. We set that thing up and I loved it. I am a Sony 4k guy, but after that Sharp install I may switch at a later point.

[nem 2,019]

I believe all the newer 4k TV's will upscale to a point.

[nem 2,019]

Kind of like up scaling 720 to 1080, it can be done, but nothing replaces a true signal.

[nem 2,019]

In today's shared tech world it is pretty hard to buy a shitty tv.

My next one will be mounted to the wall because I don't want to buy a larger center channel.

up converting is pretty much pointless

[nem 2,019]

I agree, that is why I still run 1080 and have not bought in the 4k yet.

[nem 2,019]

Enough with my tv rambling.

 

My brother has started his FFL process! You know what that means!

[nem 2,019]

Got my first wack at welding cast today. I need more practice, but I sure did surprise myself.

So why over time does my wireless router always become a complete POS?

 

It takes FOREVER for it to load web pages, but when I hard wire I get 25+Mbps down and 7 up.  Wireless tests at 6.5 down and 4 up.

 

Feels like it is WAY WAY WAY slower though.

[///M5 2,833]

Does it need a hard reset like all other PC shit?  Seriously, should just fucking work.  Aaargh.

[///M5 2,833]

For instance it takes about 8 seconds to load Gmail from the Google home page.  That is not Mbps but maybe 56k, lol

[///M5 2,833]

Once a page is loaded it is quicker.  A post from reply to showing up here is about 3 seconds.

[///M5 2,833]

But if I was at a different webpage and went to SSA it takes 8-10.

[nem 2,019]

Not sure about that, but my asus router kicks ass on this cable internet.

[MKader17 332]

Have DD-WRT on the router? I ought a cheap Asus router for $20 and haven't had a problem since installing DD-WRT

Might try unplugging it for a minute.

[nem 2,019]

Mine is Asus RT-A66R

We have the same router I am pretty sure.  I have not installed DD-WRT as I have no idea what it is though.

[nem 2,019]

Maybe all that snowmobile porn is slowing your router down.

[///M5 2,833]

I may be helpless, but not that helpless.  Multiple reboots.

 

There is another problem though.  I can't get Yahoo mail, Gmail, or my Exchange mail on my phone when connected to it either.  I get a Proxy error.  To be fair, the router it is plugged into (acting as a switch) has a direct connection to Germany and our HQ.  If you turn on Automatic Proxy detection it will force all web pages into German.

I have an 8 inch mid in my center... It's fairly large.

[nem 2,019]

Mine is a Paradigm CC-290, it gets the job done.
