Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

How are you liking it? I get a handful of channels off a set of cheap hoop/rabbit ears hooked direct to the TV, but I've been thinking about sticking a decent antenna up in the attic and an hdhomerun on a shelf in my rack (then add it to Jellyfin). I'm also a little concerned about investing that money and effort just to have the stations around here switch to DRM shortly after. I'm in the states and, as I understand, they haven't been able to get approval for DRM decoding on their devices. Meanwhile there's some chance of DRM becoming standard/mandatory(?) for OTA TV within the next year or so.
I've been happy with it. I hired an antenna installer to put mine in and get perfect reception of the major networks. I use PleX and enjoy DVRing local news and certain series. I'm not worried about DRM of ATSC3 because it would fail miserably and therefore the market will fix it.
