#SCMP writes that #ccp #China has revealed a #cablecutter that will be able to cut #cables in the bottom of the seas regardless if they are fortified or not.
This would be a disaster if #Chinese merchant ships would be equipped with these and they just keep on cutting cables, they cause a lot of damaged with anchors already.
Trying to get rid of our cable tv subscription. I purchased a HDHomeRun Flex tuner, and a Wineguard antenna. I'm in a fortunate position here in Canada, with the balcony of our condo facing South, with a clear shot at Seattle to the East / South East. It receives about 31 channels, a couple local ones among them.
Between this and a local TV station's web offering, we'll be able to cover most of our news needs, along with a couple of the network shows we enjoy. The tuner integrates with Flex, on our Synology NAS, which allows us to record in much the same way as the cable company's DVR. There are some small hiccups in the recordings sometimes, but Plex even detects show intros and commercials and allows you to skip them.
The fidelity is incredible, with some of the over the air channels even broadcasting in 5.1 sound. It'll save us some $1,500 per year, and the total cost has been under $300.
