    Stop Making Sense - no upgrade from HD available?

    ^^ What he said. Thanks, Thrillcat.

    Buying 4k Disks…ummmmm help??

    Huh. I don't recall ever having it not work, but then again, I rarely buy physical media anymore.

    Buying 4k Disks…ummmmm help??

    On Amazon, you can also just type "Blu-ray" after the movie title. e.g., "The Accountant Blu-ray". That will turn up the physical media including 4K disc. Also available is the popup menu to the left of the search bar. If you select Movies & TV and then type the title, that works too. I find...

    The Animal Kingdom (No regular theatrical English Subtitles)

    Ugh. Apologies, I’ve seen a similar glitch before on another movie. For those who are morbidly curious: our subtitle logic was not designed to handle the case where a movie has “burned-in” subtitles as part of the actual video frame. So it sees that your system’s language preference is English...

    Stop Making Sense - no upgrade from HD available?

    For what it’s worth, I noticed that the HD version of Stop Making Sense is listed as having Dolby Atmos as well now.

    Halo Touch vs Non-Touch

    Hm. That is discouraging. On my 250s, since it has no custom buttons, I have set up the colored buttons to go to my four most-used sources if the room is off. That means that it's one button press without even picking up the remote to get to Kaleidescape, Apple TV, etc.

    New Unfolded Circle Remote (f.k.a. YIO)

    No way to bridge commands to serial somehow through Home Assistant? My Radiance is controlled via serial from my Control4.

    Halo Touch vs Non-Touch

    I appreciate the feedback. I have a slew of SR-250s but the navigation interface on the little display has become very sluggish with recent releases, so I'm contemplating an upgrade. Since our Control4 driver uses the numeric keypad for T9-style text entry (which makes jumping within lists of...

    Stop Making Sense - no upgrade from HD available?

    Thrillcat is reading that right. I would add one small note of caution, which is that with pre-orders, sometimes we will know that we will be getting the title, but we don't have all of the technical details yet, so generally I would take the absence of any information with a grain of salt. If...

    4K Ultra HD vs. HDR

    If your projector didn't support HDR at all (and you didn't have something else in the signal chain to do tone mapping), then the system would have downloaded UHD or even HD since it would have understood that you had no HDR-capable display. Most projectors these days are "capable" of HDR, but...

    Star Trek TOS versions?

    As far as I can tell, The Cage is not included. None of the seasons have extras at this time. No idea if/when that might change.

    Halo Touch vs Non-Touch

    Three questions for you Halo users: Does the Touch let you navigate the menus on its screen using the D-pad yet, or must you always touch the screen? I believe when it came out it was touch-only. How have you found it to be in terms of how quickly it wakes up if you grab it to push a key? How’s...

    What's going on with The Incredible Hulk?

    You'd end up with two versions on the server, I believe.

    What's going on with The Incredible Hulk?

    This is a case where the movie was previously licensed by a different studio (NBC Universal) and is now licensed by Disney. As far as I know, nothing is different otherwise. [Edit to add: It may be that there's a difference in audio tracks. Somebody on another thread mentioned that the new...

    Network Segregation?

    I use an NVX system at home and have found it to be very good. The biggest downside to it is that it's quite power hungry. I have a dedicated player in my theater (actually a Strato C and an M500 as a Co-Star pair), and then I have a second pair of players that are distributed to the other...
