Picked up a nice 55' LG OLED C5 and love it. Paired it with the Sonos Beam Gen 2 which is pretty awesome. The problem is trying to connect to a wired speaker (my bluetooth AirPods Max.)

When I put a disc into my Blu Ray player and try to switch to Wired Speaker, it connects for two seconds and then defaults back to HDMI E-arc. I finally found some threads and articles from three to five years ago that have the same problem. The advice was to turn off SIMPLINK HDMI CEC and disable E-arc. That works but it's a pain to go through all that. The other option was to just pull out the HDMI cable from the soundbar every time I want to play a movie. That works but its also a pain.

Even though the sound on the Beam is fantastic, I will mostly have to listen through headphones because I like my movies LOUD. My condo neighbors, not so much.

Someone also suggested a CEC blocker, but I heard that it cuts out Atmos. Anyone have any other suggestions? I really like the Beam, but this sound issue is a real Debbie Downer.

Cheers.

I know it doesn’t support HDR10+. But why is it that when I play Reacher on Prime I get the HDR badge but not when I play The Boys or Rings of Power, which are also HDR content?

I can’t change it in the picture menu either. HDR is not an option. When I play Reacher the picture menu says HDR.

Have a 55’ B7a and thinking of upgrading to C6. I had the B7 professionally mounted. Wondering if the back of the C6 is the same as the B7. Probably not I’d assume? I can’t get a full take on it just from google images.

What’s the song Henry was singing along to a few episodes back? I thought it was on Side Stories. It was so funny I felt bad for laughing. They sounded like kids but they were adults.

Two series I’ve been trying to find but to no avail. Thanks to Reddit suggestions I found them both on DVD at my local library!

I’m wondering how many fans have heard of or listened to this podcast. It was hosted by comedian Kelly Anneken and her then husband, Tom Schneider. I found their recaps absolutely hilarious. Kelly’s impersonations—especially Mrs. Hughes—“For fu*^*’s sake, Mr. Carson!” still crack me up.

At the end of each episode, Tom did a little history lesson on some of the topics in the show.

I did a full series rewatch a year ago and listened to the recaps again as I had forgotten most of the content. Their humor is not for everyone and can be a little raunchy but I found it entertaining.

Trivia Moment: Kelly’s ex-husband (now Amy Schneider) is a jeopardy! Champion. They actually came back together to do a recap of the final film.

Anyone watching this show on Paramount Plus? I find it strange that a show with Helen Mirren, Tom Hardy and Pierce Brosnam doesn't seem to be on the cultural TV watercolor.

Is it any good? Do we have so many shows now in this prestige era of TV that some just fly under the radar? None of the TV recap podcasts I listen to cover it.

I'm going to check it out myself, finally, but I want to hear from people who've seen it.

Please, no spoilers, just an overview of what you think.

Thanks

eta: thanks for all the replies. gonna give it a shot.

Sure, beating Palace at Selhurst Park would have been a massive moment. But who knows what that game would bring? Palace has nothing to lose but you know football: anything can happen at any moment.

For me, it was much more joyous to see Bournemouth beat City (even though it was a draw) because City lost a championship. Seeing the miserable faces of those players brought a lot of joy.

They bottled it!

This was one of my Top Ten podcasts: an investigative look into a decades-old mystery.

I also enjoyed The Shrink Next Door, Exposed: Cover-Up at Columbia University, Kill List,

Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare, The Somerset Man, and others whose names don't come to mind at the moment.

Does anyone have any recs for series like these? I've started several but they don't always hold my interest. Not looking for true crime, unless it's a case long ago in the past.

Thanks!

Thanks for all the recs everyone! I've got some listening to do!

ETA. Forgot to mention Unicorn Girl, which I'm listening to right now. It's absolutely nuts. No spoilers if you've already heard it please!

Not sure if this has been posted here.
