What are you watching?

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

:lol: $15 for a gizmo. One should never pay more than $2.95 for one.
The one he ordered has tubes, none of them less than fifty years old, and an extension cord if needed.
Oh, he got one of those electro centrifugal gizmos. Those things run hot and do cost a bit more.

I'm guessing the gizmo on order is an HDMI converter to plug into his not-so-smart TV or ancient recording device.

I figured it was a splitter for an extra hdmi port.

Our coach has 4 TV's (yeah, I know :roll: ), a 60" "main" TV, a 32" in the bedroom and above the windshield, and a 32" outside, that has its own DVD player/radio connected. Input can be from satellite, on-air, cable, DVD, ROKU, computer. There's a central network control box that can direct a particular input to each of the TV's, so you could watch ROKU on one, satellite on another, and a DVD on another. Output is to an 8-speaker surround sound system. Some of the set-up is wireless, but most is cabled. The back of the network control box looks a lot like the picture up there.
Geez, first world problems. How many yachts can you ski behind Mr. Gecko?

Have we ever seen pics?

If not, share some!
Well, you did ask.

Silly boys.

I will neither confirm nor deny all these entertaining speculations.

Once I receive the gizmo, install it, and determine if it will work or not, I may or may not so update the record here.

Until then, please do carry on with whatever it is you've doing.

Uhhhh, I don't know, man. "Once I get the gizmo" doesn't sound like the foundation of a sound plan. I'd be careful about all this.

I'm not worried.

Nor should anyone else be worried.

Worst case, I'm out, what, $15. $40 including the Roku thingie. So what?

YMMV

Well sure - it looks like that now, but it wasn't always so fancy. Here's the "before" version.

Wow, sweet!

That does look like a great lifestyle choice and a great way to see the country.

If you've got any others like interior shots and such you'd be willing to share love to see them.

Well, received the gizmo today.

I suspect it will not work. We'll see. It was not listed properly.

Somebody, and it might have been I, said you can't successfully connect a roku to an ancient vcr. We'll see.
