Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for August 24, 2019

Old school solution… don’t think this would work IRL, heh.

Don’t have TV and don’t have a router as such, just a rented ISP modem. I used to be able to hold one of the rabbit ears and change channels by moving my arm to change reception. Not sure if that would work or not with his type of router.

Before I knew my ABC’s I knew how to tweak the rabbit ears of our 12" Emerson.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

I think he just scared it.

My broadcast antenna is on the windowsill of a window with metal blinds. So, I “tune” the antenna by raising and lowering the blinds.

Break down and get a repeater. They’re pretty cheap.

Aluminum is for tin foil hats to protect you from transmissions from Laika the Space Dog. ;o)

Holy crap! Does that really work?

So much easier to stream. Just make sure you have the bandwidth to support the number of devices and off you go! Btw, make sure you keep your modem,router, and firewall up to date.

Been there, done that. It worked. Finally got around to upgrading the router.

I wonder if it would work on Janis?

I do my own IT at home and because the basement isn’t finished I ran CAT5 to a switch behind my Smart? TV. The switch distributes to my Roku, the TV and another router with WiFi. And a UPS because of surges and outages here in the flatlands.

I had wireless repeaters seizing up with no help from tech support. We had a storm and it started running again. A network search later showed that my neighborhood had gone from 5 to 40 high speed wireless networks and it couldn’t firewall filter fast enough. A foil fence will directionally kill weaker networks.

Great, improving reception and security at the same time. Well, not really, but if he thinks so.

I imagine this is funnier to people over 40.

Sometimes a younger sibling had to hold the rabbit ears closer to the the window

I wear a tinfoil hat.

hdtv antennas are imho the worst. I get lost of signal when a car drives down the street in front of my home. the hoa won’t allow antenna mast on the property.
