You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Most likely to say hello to Eddie...lol I have Youtube TV. It displays the local stations based on your home location. You can use it when you travel also and it will change to the local stations wherever they exist. This is a complex government regulatory mess call "The Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act of 2010 or STELA" and I assume it also covers internet/cable re-broadcast of local stations.

I'll do it just for fun and when I do that I see those annoying ads we all get on all the news sites flip to the new area. California drivers get car insurance for free!! Illinois drivers..., New York drivers....etc. It's a real lesson on how these ads work. Exact wording just the location changes.

It chooses the fastest (so it says) connection in the network. Here in Florida, one never knows when a thunderstorm will happen. That's the reason why I turn off and unplug everything sensitive. Many years ago I was working in my studio, and I decided to take Mrs. Notes out for lunch. I forgot to unplug everything. A thunderstorm cropped up, a lightning bolt must have hit close, because when I got home, a hardware sampler was fried. I had to send it back to AKAI, and it cost a lot of money to fix. At home, when the thunderstorms approach, I also shut down and unplug. It's the ounce of prevention.

There are legal issues that prevent me from watching CBS/ABC/NBC in Los Angles from Miami for example. Billy Last edited by Planobilly; 09/27/21 03:30 AM.
