We really liked Hill House but deleted Bly Manor from our watch list.

That is really great news about your health condition and surely hope you do not CHF!!!

It just goes to show that we have a lot of really kind and helpful members at blu-ray.com. In the heat of lively debate I think we forget about that sometimes.

P Man is a good guy, known him since joining here.

The extended cut is the version I received with my code on MA. I tried to post a picture of the listing but despite all my years on the forum I still can never remember how to post pictures.

Bly Manor is enjoyable but nowhere near the level of Hill House. I believe it is because Mike Flanagan only directed the first episode of Bly Manor whereas he directed every episode of Hill House.

What did you mean by this? IPTV and OTT use your Internet connection, but Movie Codes use OTT. With my ISP I have both, for IPTV I have a Box that connects to my Fiber Feed Switch with Cat5. For Movie Codes they Redeem into my Collection Amazon Prime, MA, and Vudu. To access the Movies I use Android Apps that go OTT.

OTT is nothing more than a description: OTT stands for “Over The Top” and refers to any streaming service that delivers content over the internet. The service is delivered “over the top” of another platform, hence the moniker.

IPTV is just that, a protocol for delivering video/audio via the internet.

International Telecommunication Union focus group on IPTV (ITU-T FG IPTV) is:

IPTV is defined as multimedia services such as television/video/audio/text/graphics/data delivered over IP based networks managed to provide the required level of quality of service and experience, security, interactivity and reliability.

When you bring up the Quote Box you have to download the Image first from a Folder on your Drive, then you can Paste it onto your Post.

Yeah, I tried copying the image and pasting in the reply but nothing happens. May be an issue with Chrome.

Same when I tried with Chrome. This did work: Right click in Chrome, select "Copy image address" then click "Insert Image" and paste the URL.

If you do not like the new Android Home UI then this article my be of interest to you. Have reset my Nvidia Shield Pro and have not set it up yet. For now using the Sony UBP-X1000, Roku Ultra and Fire TV Cube for IPTV duty.

Watched Furious 7 last night on 4K disc. Wow, what a presentation on all fronts! I think 7 is now my favorite of the series, with 5 in #2. I'm gonna watch F8 of the Furious today and I shall be all caught up with the series. I have a chiropractor appointment this afternoon, so still getting worked on and hope to be back up and about for the weekend and F9.

I don't have a problem with the Android Apps on my Sony or TCL. Access to all my Streaming Providers is fast and very efficient. I just have one Remote when I use the Cable Systems IPTV Box, and either the Sony or TCL Remote to access the Home Screen for my Android Apps.

Many users, myself included, do not like the large banner that is now showing up on the home screen via Android devices. Yours may not have updated yet. That article just shows some workarounds.

As to a remotes, below is most, not all, of the ones needed in our home theater. The URC MX-980 replaces all those and more so I only have it by my chair.

My Home Screen looks like the one you have there, you can setup the Apps anyway you want them. I don't see a problem.

As for the Remotes, I have never been big on programing just one. I guess if you have lots of equipment it makes it easier. All I use is two....Keep it Simple!

Anyone picking up Children Of The Corn trilogy on 4K in September? I’m debating whether to just go with the first one as I seem to recall thinking parts 2 and 3 are average. I really enjoyed the first one when I was younger but never got around to buying on Blu-Ray.
