    The only brand that currently has receivers supporting Alexa is Yamaha. However, they don't have the type of Zone w support that previous Yamaha and Pioneer had. Check them out at bhphotovideo.com.

    I seldom watch live TV. All the TV's in my household have TiVo boxes and I record the bulk of the shows I watch. The TiVo Roamio in my room has a commercial skip feature. When a program supports commercial skip (most do), at the start of a commercial I get a prompt telling me to hit the channel...

    I understand your point, but when I look at a list of servers on speedtest, I don't see a Spectrum server. When I go on the Spectrum website, the optimal server they list for testing speed v (via Speedtest !} is in Durham, NC, which is 150 miles highway distance from here, or a little over 100...

    I just scanned the speaker and receiver offerings by Amazon and all are out of my price range.$2,500 phono turntables, $3,000 CD players, $4,500 Stereo amplifiers -- the list goes on. Speaker prices also run quite high. For example, subwoofers as high as $2500, floor standing speakers as high as...

    For what it's worth, the movie is available on Amazon Prime Video. You can also get it on DVD.

    Update on my download speed. I called Spectrum and they sent tech (Lead Technician!) out with a new modem. He replaced the old modem, saying it was no doubt the cause of my troubles. I checked my phone on Speedtest and the download speed on 5 Ghz was 230 Mbps. After he left, I went to check the...

    I've been having trouble with my Spectrum Internet connection for several months now. The connection has dropped out several times a day. I've had two techs come out over the past few weeks -- the first tech checked cable connections all the way from the street to the modem and beyond, assuring...

    All they'd find out from me is the fact that I do the bulk of my viewing through my TiVo Bolt, and that I watch a few shows on HBO, Comedy Central, HGTV,, the History channel and my local CBS outlet. Although I have a Roku Premiere and subscriptions to Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime I use them...

    There should be a section in your AVR manual that describes Scenes and how to set them up.

    I dropped AOL more than 20 years ago and now use gmail on my computers, phone and tablets. I save important emails in personally named folders, presumably on Google's servers. That way, they are accessible to me on all my devices, which are password or PIN protected.

    I haven't gone into the picture settings as yet. I have a copy of suggested picture settings for the 65UN65300, which is this year's version but haven't had the opportunity to get in and try them as yet. Even so, the picture in the CBS telecast of the Masters was beautiful. I haven't seen any...

    I recently received an LG 65 inch 2017 model 65UN6200 4K TV as a warranty replacement for my 2014 Samsung UN60A7100 3D TV, which had developed a rather large burnin spot over the past year or so. Since 3D TV's are no longer available and a replacement panel would have cost around $1300, the...
