    you are all ready quite a bit into cup and split territory with 9" boards in general you are better with ex 6/7 or 8" as shrinkage will become a greater problem as you cant get boards tight enough to stop gaps and in general round here the cost per extra inch in width doubles between 8 and 9...

    Bitcoin

    stories like this have no real value other than the old saying off "don't put all your eggs in one basket " or "dont invest what you cant afford too loose" i wont include "a fool and his money are soon parted" as some will gain as its a bit better than a pyramid scheme its all about maximum...

    Some Channels Have No Signal, And Apps Crashing

    general comments live tv comes off the aerial anything else comes off the internet so perhaps try live tv before a retune because when you retune you automatically get live tv now i might be miles out but iff live tv still works its not an aerial problem
