Another point made, but missed by a mile.

Thanks. It is nice to have confirmation that some folks may appreciate the time, effort and expense some put in order to post test results here.

We have No Way Home, Far From Home, and Homecoming.

What's next? "Homeless, Rest Home, Homeboy, Home cooking, There's No Place Like Home, Home Repair, etc. etc.

These all boil down to "bring home the bacon."

Spider-man is so popular that the title doesn't matter. Spider-man "home schools" us on that fact.

I want a Spider-man western next and it should be called "Spider-man Home On the Range."

Internet has been out for two days. The guy was supposed to come yesterday from noon to two but did not and is supposed to show up today some time between noon and four.

Physical media and phones are a pretty big perk in this
Scenario waiting for the guy to show up.

...only for him to blame your personally owned modem for the problem. That's what my ISP always tries to pull when I call in.

We are relatively tech savvy. It’s 100% on their end on their equipment.

To be fair, it’s been a strong trilogy.

Have the Spider-Man Trilogy and The Amazing Spider-Man 3D. Watched most of the others but passed on purchase, No Way Home got ejected after about 25 minutes.

I have upgraded all of the Spidey movies that I know of to 4K. He feels at home on the format.

It's ALWAYS their problem.

I have NEVER had a modem, or a router for that matter, fail. It doesn't stop them from trying to pin the blame on my stuff, tho. I don't know if its because my ISP employs half-wits, sloths, or half-witted sloths, but I always have to play this game first before they will get off their asses and do anything.

I absolutely agree. Holland is my favorite Spider-Man and I've enjoyed all his Marvel movies.

Purpose of these post, just to show how much IPTV quality difference there can be between providers for the same titles.

Yes my ISP CSN requires a STB for each TV to access the 100+ HD Channels it has an RJ45 connection that goes back to a different Gigabit Switch than my Streaming Switch connection. These channels include the Network Channels, Food Channel, HGTV, TCM, ESPN, NFL, and many others. To access my Streaming Providers I switch over to the Android Apps.

As for testing Streaming Providers here is Jaremy Pyle on YouTube:

That sounds like the typical cable box that cable TV subscribers use.

I do not subscribe to cable. I use an over the air antenna. With my LG TV, all I have to do to watch IPTV channels is to use the channel up/down buttons on my remote (or enter the IPTV channel number directly). When I get past the very few channels that my antenna can pull in, my TV automatically switches to the IPTV channels of which there are many.

So, how do you avoid OLED burn-in of the Windows taskbar, since auto-hide is super buggy, only popping up if you don't have windows or programs maximized and often not even auto-hiding until you restart windows.exe?

The Batman was the first movie I popped in once the new subs were broken in and dialed in along with the JVC getting calibrated. The scene where the Batmobile was revealed was jaw dropping from an audio standpoint and is easily a go to to pop in when I have visitors to demo the room. Watching the movie in DD+ would not do it justice I would think. I enjoyed the hell out of the whole movie as well. Other two discs I have watched this past week were No Time to Die and Ghostbusters Afterlife. Both were outstanding and well worth the wait.

Mandy is an awesome film.

You should watch the director's first film "Beyond the Black Rainbow."
