All the ports or just one of them?
Just woke up is all. Went back to sleep.youre up early Bronze....
Mornin' Army!
From the little checking I had time to do it seemed to be all four of them. It's not really a problem because the receiver doesn't do any upscaling for the TV. And the sound is much the same with the optical cable. I'll still pull it out and have a look. When I was checking I could get a signal when I pushed on the port. Makes me to think a bad connection.
Yeah, sounds like something fried. And yes, you can bypass those hdmi ports and just control your components separately while keeping your surround. No significant quality loss using optical connection. I don't have hdmi ports on my receiver (I bought my receiver just days before hdmi was released). So I use optical and component cable connections and I defy anyone to know the difference. There for awhile I thought perhaps the component connection was inferior because I was getting only 720p resolution. Then I come to find out the vast majority of television programs and sporting events are sent in 720p. My dvds are in 1080 and that's normal and they come in at 1080 with my component cables.
On another note, my vonage modem took a crap yesterday. It's a phone modem/wifi/router. 13 years old. Uses "G" wifi technology (that I have disabled). That's how old it is. It had a heart attack yesterday and just checked out. Contacted vonage and they're sending me a brand new one at no charge.
The Yukon has some great northern fishing. Lots of big boys up there. Can't miss. Never been there but saw lots of film. All my Canadian fishing has been in Ontario. All over from east, west, north, and south. Some fly-ins, some boat-ins, some drive-ins. My fave is smallmouth fishing (hence my handle named after the smallmouth's nickname...bronzeback...seeing we are revealing the basis for our handles). But I never complain catching the pike and walleyes. The walleyes are wimps but they eat good for shore lunch. The northerns are great fighters. But ounce for ounce no freshwater fish has a nastier attitude than a smally. I'll be getting back to Canada hopefully next summer. I use to go once, sometimes twice a year. I've missed the last five years or so. I REALLY miss it.
There are no smallmouth around here, so I've never fished for them. I think northern Arkansas or southern Missouri would be the closest place to find them.
The arctic grayling were a blast to catch in the Yukon. We fished for them with ultralight tackle, and catching a 1.5 pounder was more fun than catching a larger fish on regular tackle.
The most fun I've ever had fishing was salmon fishing on a river on the Alaska Peninsula. We were catching 15 - 25 pound salmon with regular bass fishing tackle. It's the only time in my life I've thrown my bait in the water and hoped I DIDN'T catch anything (because my arms were so tired from fighting the last one).

So true! I much prefer using lighter tackle and catching smaller fish (less than 20 pounds). I've done the gulf stream fishing and the Great Lakes salmon fishing where they are bigger and while it was fun it is a lot of work. And those were on charter trips so someone else does all the boating and hunting for the fish. Not really sporting IMO. Give me my own 16' Lund with my lighter tackle and let me find my own fish. That's my kind of fishing. Nothing beats a light or medium light 6'6" rod with 6-8 pound test and a #2 Mepps with a smallmouth bass on the end of the line. I fish mostly with a baitcaster when I'm fishing for anything that bites, but if I'm out strictly for smallies I will use spinning reels and really lighten up. Get more bite offs from the pike but, oh well.
I like ultralight, I have some other stuff but I just enjoy the light rod and reel. We have some large mouth bass, blue gill and some cats in a large pond here. The lights always make a fun catch.
The record smallmouth was caught in Dale Hollow, KY many decades ago (the 40's I believe). That record remains. They get close once in awhile up in Canada but never quite get there. These days anymore if you want high quality smallmouth fishing you have to go to southern Canada or around the great lakes.
I had a 35 pound tuna on and that was enough to remind me I like smaller fish. Too much work. It was like hauling in a cinder block. No wiggle. Just weight. Arms fall off after awhile.I prefer 100 lb line and a 70 lb tuna on the end ....
We have a larger , meaner cousin to the timber rattlesnake down here called the canebrake rattlesnake . Researchers found out that the venom is different between the two with the canebrake having a neurotoxic compound to the venom and they were in demand for venom research . I made money off of catching them , I'm too old and too slow to even consider it now .
With all your nerve damage you probably wouldn't feel the bite anymore.
Off to do some chores. Din din out tonight.
I've seen Timber rattlers that are sulfur yellow with black bands and silver eyes , beautiful animals and more laid back than a copperhead , you'd be lucky to see one .
I remember a pic like this, but it wasn’t cropped to the fish. Great pic of you. Back when we were all sharing our mugs.
I’ve seen mostly reports that it was suicide by hanging. Just like Kate Spade. Very sad. I enjoyed some of his shows. RIP.
