Reading your post made me want to log back in to your BBS but I can't remember my 
password.  Can you email it to me please?

I am definitely into the streaming services.  When I travel n the RV, I use a TV app 
(Spectrum) to stream things on my DVR at home.  I also have just about every service 
you can think of.

Sounds like you have quite a setup!
