And for those not in attendance and didn't watch the show LIVE on TV...



 

Edit: I watched this LIVE off-air on a Sony 27" Trinitron TV, "huge" for the time, and listened via my Sony STR6065 stereo receiver with JBL Nova speakers - cranked to eleven. At times I even sat far back from the screen and used my binoculars to simulate "being there", and it worked to do just that!

Call me a fan. Call me crazy. But don't call me during the broadcast!
 

Going only by the provided image of the phone itself, and not demonstarting what a picture on would look like, I'm assuming that you would need to turn the device on its side to see the picture in landscape mode/correct ratio.

Stumbled on A live link to the camera on the CKVR Tower in Barrie. Comes in handy for weather!

https://www.youtube.com/live/HrV6TtCy0qU?si=NMm-ZdaqocLm3uCK

The link only takes you to a two hour segment of video dated four months ago. The "uploader" provide no details, allows no comments, and appears to have only ever done this the one time.

Try it again later, it does that sometimes 

I got this prompt on my second attempt. There's a Blue Mountain camera I sometimes see this and yet there's a Collingwood street cam that always seems to work.

Here's the Wasaga Beach "sunset" cam. and a view of the Beach Drive (whhich has been down now for weeks)


I'll check the tower cam again a few more times - thanks!
 

...they could make money for their shareholders.

These two YouTube channels seem to have come from nowhere and I have to think AI has something, more than likley a lot, do do with existence.

All my vehicles are old enough to still have preset buttons, 1994 Ford F150, 2010 Malibu and 2016 Kia Sorento. I retired from being a tilt 'n' load tow truck driver recently, the modern cars are so full of bells and whistles, they are so difficult to deal with, the majority don't have a neutral release for the transmission anymore. Electronic everything that costs a small fortune to repair. I recall a fellow telling me to change the headlight on his BMW was in the 1500$ range. 

By "neutral release" do you mean the inability to 'pop it' into neutral without having to press the side-button on the shifter? I found this to be the case in my wife's '20 Ford EcoSport when I wanted to take the drive wheels 'off' when coming to a stop on an icy approach to a 4-way stop.. Stupid, stupid idea to take that ability away.

Samsung TV exclusive access - really? Not owning an actual TV of this brand I have to think my Samsung washer with its 15" round screen won't qualify.

 Thanks canam2021 

I have ZERO way of proving what I'm about to claim - but it's the truth.

Does anyone remember those early pocket-size transistor radios, and those slightly larger, that as part of their outside case marking would profess the number of transistors that were being employed? In other words, the more transistors the better. I do.

When I first became interested in repairing electronic stuff I would fix for my friends and family radios that had suffered being dropped - quite often cracking their circuit boards. I would solder-in wire jumpers across the cracked area and see them be made to work as well as they ever did. I found on moore than one occasion a so-labelled "X" number transistor radio that - YES, you could clearly see from the component side that there was a "X" head count of transistors, but upon flipping the circuit board over (o fix the unit) found that one or more of them had ALL of their (3) leads soldered together serving absolutely no purpose in the function of the radio except to fool those who looked inside to believe that they had got what they paid for.

I have to think that the transistors that were found like that were defective production devices but served the purpose of maintaining (visually) the advertised count - just to look good.

So technological truth was usurped my marketing lies.

My Zenith was not one of "those"..

 

I stumbled on this free movie app on Roku and it's kind odd, to say the least.

Available movies include Harold and Maude, Sleeper, and Slap Shot - to name a few of the comedy movies. There are many categories of titles containing movies I've not seen anywhere  else. 

The search function doesn't work well, if it can be said that it works at all. The only way to really find a movie is to scroll through the hundreds and hundreds of available titles. There is no "save" function or "My List" option. When you start to watch a movie and not finish watching, it seems to only remember that you had watched in a a "Recently viewed" option that just goes away the next time, or next day, when you look to continue to watch. I had a number of titles I started to watch last night, so's I could watch at a later time because there is no save option, only to find out all my selections were gone.

As quirky as this app is there is one thing that I really like. There are no ads - period. No self-promotional type - no cross promotional - no nothing.

I'm going to look for more movies to watch when I can watch the complete movie over the coming days/weeks.

anyways, for what it's worth...





There is no signing-up.

It had reduction-drive for tuning stations which made it great for "tuning-off" the main frequency just a little to try to improve reception.
 

For a short while they were classical music during the daytime hours until 6 PM, switching to progressive/underground/psychedelic rock at the tick of the hour. They would switch from "music for. or by, longhairs" to "music by, or for, longhairs" - I can't remember which way it was but I know for a fact it was one or the other.

When the first promotional picture was taken of the truck the "dish" affixed to the roof was not a proper microwave uplink dish. It was in fact a garbage can lid, painted white as a substitute because they couldn't get the real thing in time for the photo shoot.

Koodo is already doing this.

At just under the first hour mark there is a clip of Mr. N.. There may very well be more.

Listening online is almost unlistenable because of the subbed-out advertisements in overly repetitious insertion. I miss hearing the local ads when I was able to tune in to the actual station.I wasn't pleased when Humber College started their broadcasting that kept me from doing so.
