Roku. Old stereo. Old TV. Old speakers from when I replaced stuff in other parts of the house. TV is a rear projection from 2006. Something wrong with the main board because every time I turn it off, it forgets who it is and I have to go back through setup when turning it back on. I keep thinking about replacing it with a cheapie from walmart, just haven't pulled the trigger.
There's probably a battery (or capacitor) on the main board that powers the memory and it needs replaced.

I have a 70's Pioneer receiver plugged in to an outlet that comes on with the lights, hooked to some half assed speakers.
One day I want to switch them to some Bose Outdoor speakers that I have
no memory, no presets , no bells & whistles . it comes on to the volume & station it's set for and that's it

That would require moving a ton of **** from in front of the TV to get to it. If I'm going through that trouble, I'll replace the TV with one I can hang on the wall and gain more workspace.

It's also part of the reason I haven't pulled the trigger on the new tv. I don't really want to deal with any of that right now. Too many more important projects.

This would be my perfect setup - and was exactly how I had my old internet radio solution setup. The only problem is my choice of radio station isn’t really available on a device that I can make work this way!

I also elected to go Pioneer in my Shop Sound System....
But.....I went a bit higher end with my speakers (nothing major though)

I love to Rock when I am out in the shop :ROFLMAO:
