Should Sinclair media lose all media licensing for this?

You guys (AM64 and North Dallas 40) have some sweet gear. I love my digital music as well for it's convenience. I have a Peachtree Audio DeepBlue 2 that I bring onto the deck in the summer and it sounds great for streaming tunes while drinking and cooking.

Unfortunately, it seems that most audio equipment these days is geared towards home theater instead of two-channel audio for music.

Check out the Sonos gear for stereo home connectivity. Good stuff with intuitive controls and a solid wireless setup so that you can easily add it into an existing home.

We built the current house new in 2014 and it’s our forever home so I went well off the deep end on the home connectivity. I did all the low voltage wiring myself. Each room has at least two cat 5e cables and many have at least one RG6 coax going to it. I don’t think 6 is needed and I’ve got GigE everywhere now. All cables feed to the centralized home theater cabinet where the Leviton structured media center is located. You use patch cords to send to the routers or the phone switch panel. Coax has a central powered buffer also. All of the routers, coax buffers, and Ethernet switch matrix panel are enclosed within a central structured media center cabinet. Below the structured media center is the switch panel for the home theater speakers and projector, the six stereo zones of whole house audio, as well as the wired security camera system. I have a rack of electronic equipment about 5 ft tall below the media center cabinet full of camera DVRs, amps, BluRay, CD, XBox etc.. equipment. When the AT&T techs have to do service they look in awe on the distribution center. It’s slick. 😬

Forgot I actually have a couple pics. Here’s the media center.

Here’s the electronics rack. One empty shelf for when I move the XBox One in to play in 7.1 on the 100” projector screen. The screen is a Black Diamond Zero Edge. It makes average projectors look awesome. You can see the edge of it. I don’t even close the blinds to watch the projector. No need to. The sub sits in the alcove below the empty shelf.

No idea why the pics are sideways. 😟

They are, but many times a DVD (or game box) has a second set of audio outputs that you can run into a dedicated two channel input in your audio amplifier. Use HDMI for movies and the other input for CDs. My Onkyo receiver lets you program inputs, so if I'm doing music from the network the input is defined as stereo. It takes some experimentation, and usually somebody someplace has tried his best to make what you want to do impossible. The most frustrating is getting a simple analog audio output when using a digital input - wanting to feed Bluetooth to your hearing aids is a long way from trying to pirate a DVD or whatever.

SIAP - for all those freaking out about the Sinclair story. This nails it. Mock the company for creepyness but thinking this is some monopoly on media/state run analogy is ludicrous.

We are lacking across the board in qualified news anchors and journalists. I expect people to have biases. That’s human nature. But in the case of news if you make a statement from your own bias then just qualify it by that. I’d take that even. Both sides are guilty.

sean hannity tops the list, doesn't have an objective bone in his body. :no: Never heard him say Faux News a.k.a. RTV America has verified this story and if the news doesn't fit his agenda he discredits it or or floats a conspiracy theory. Why listen to that fool, he's making millions dividing Americans, he's putin's shill. :crazy:
