Calendar For TV

Are there any TV shows you watch, and hate to miss? Worse, even, when you do watch it, it's always the same episode...in rerun? Have I got a fix for you! No, it's not Tivo.
This is a calendar that will let you know when your show is on, but only when it's a new episode of your show. If it's a rerun, you won't even see it listed on the Calendar.
The first time you visit the site, you'll see all shows currently in first-run broadcast. Near the bottom of the page, you'll see a link called 'Set Filter Settings'. This will take you to a page of all current prime time shows in alphabetical order. You then choose which ones you would like to be placed in your calendar, then click the box labeled 'Set Filters'. This will then take you back to the page you navigated to first, but now, only the shows you have chosen will be in the Calendar! Magic! While it is not flawless, most shows are accurately reported on, and I would say the percentage is over 90% for having their information right.
I used to read magazines and the newspaper hoping to find when my new show would be on. Now I just check my 'Calendar for TV'. Enjoy!

    Hey ! Good Info !

    I use your "Calendar for TV" quite often. But, it does miss a show once in a while. Grey's Anatomy for example, this past Thursday, was not listed on the Calendar, but, there was a new episode. Although its fairly accurate, 99%. Try "TV.com" too. It lists all the tv shows ever made. You can check on your favorites and know when to tune in for the next upcoming episode. It usually posts 2 or 3 upcoming shows. It also lists all previously aired shows, so you can check and see if you missed any. The draw back, you have to look them up one at a time.

    I do love tv.com. It has all the info you could possibly want on any and all shows. If they had a calendar format you could choose to look at a month at a time of all your shows, they would be as good as 'calendar for tv', but they don't. Thanks for the posting though!!!

Surviving Starlink Beta

 I was approved for the Starlink beta at the beginning of March 2021, and have been using it not quite daily since.  It was very simple to set up, just as advertised.  I am not yet using it as my main service, as I ordered a mount to put it up on my antenna pole.  The speed is quite good, although there is a little noticeable drag as it switches between satellites.  One thing I found amusing was as I was testing the speed, I was testing on dslreports, and it allows you to set the type of service.  However, when I set it to satellite, the server said my response time was too fast for me to be on satellite, and I had to set a different service type.  I hope the speed lives up to the promises, and I am happy that this service has come out for my location, as I doubt fibre will ever happen here.

Leaving LastPass for Bitwarden

 Now that LastPass is beginning to charge for logging in on more than one device many are leaving the service.  I must admit I have been a stalwart LastPass user for several years, and was dreading the change to a different service.  However, I have moved over to Bitwarden, and even though they don't include as many things as the old LastPass did, they are still quite good, and I plan on staying there.  Since they are more open-source some things aren't quite as well integrated as LastPass was, and I still have not been able to get their Chrome extension to work.  Nevertheless, I am happy with the offering, and, ironically, I may start paying for some of their premium services! Have you switched away from LastPass, or are you wondering what I'm talking about?  Let me know in the comments!

ATSC 3.0 or NextgenTV

Image
In case you've missed it, changes are coming to our beloved broadcast TV!  After several years of great HD content, with the best signals available, it was apparent that the local stations were getting left behind in the push to UHD, or 4K.  To remedy this situation, several markets in the US have already started to rollout the new channels, and over the next couple of years, this service will be in most major markets.   In order to receive these new signals, you will either require a UHD TV with an ATSC 3.0 tuner built in, or purchase an external tuner.  If you don't have a UHD TV yet, and your HD TV is working fine, you may want to wait until all of the manufacturers have added them.  So far, only a couple have added them to their higher end sets.  I will be following up with more on this over the next few weeks.  So stay tuned!
