Podcast #1126: HT Guys Go Down Memory Lane


Listen Later

On this week's show the HT Guys take a trip down memory lane and discuss what they are thankful for. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news.

News:

  • Bankrupt Diamond Sports Group 'Is Now Going To Shut Down'
  • Sonos fixes its Dolby Atmos loud pop issue after years of complaints
  • Samsung TV Plus Touts 60% Global Viewership Increase in 1 Year
  • Cable TV and Satellite 'Risk Fading Into the Background Faster Than Anyone Expected'

Other:

  • Club Hotel - Book a Reservation! - Each room has a 40" TCL Roku TV and high speed internet.
  • Button Worx - Remote Control Button Repair
Mark's Wyze Garage Door Controller Installation Hints
  1. Close all the apps on the smartphone. Shut it down and restart it, opening only the Wyze app and home Wi-Fi software.
  2. I have an eero Wi-Fi system. I enabled "Legacy Mode" in case the camera had trouble with IPV6. Also, I disabled the 5 Ghz band for 10 minutes because the camera uses the 2.4 Ghz band.
  3. I used my eero Guest Network to set up the camera because it is far less crowded that my "regular" eero network.
  4. The QR code's 8 ½ x 11-inch size made it too big for a single panel of my garage door. I solved this by scanning the letter-size QR code, and then printing it at 60 pct. so it would fit on a single panel. This way, when the garage door opens and closes, it doesn't crease or wrinkle the QR code sticker.
  5. I had a licensed electrician connect the two wires to my garage door opener, which was installed in 2006. My reasoning was that I know nothing about electrical wiring, and if anything went wrong, the electrician could fix it. Nothing went wrong, and the electrician did the hook-up in 15 seconds.
  6. A-Lady integration involved setting up the Wyze "skill," which was easy and which the Wyze directions explained.
