Well Mr. Troll, I added to the topic that you don't know what you're
talking about and should stick to subjects you do and gave an example.

a newbie who does nothing but watch TV.

:-D
Speaking of "cable cutting" except for CBS you can get most broadcast
shows on Hulu. And CBS (as with most of the networks) posts episodes
on the CBS website the day after showing on air. I played with
different ways of watching those on my big screen. HDMI out on my
Acer desktop lacks audio even though I have it set to HDMI audio.
Seems it is a problem for some users bit I will probably use either my
Acer tablet which has an HDMI port out or the NVidia Shield which has
one too. Most of the networks put out a low grade HD stream when you
expand to full screen.
Difference between Hulu+ and network websites. The latter have more
commercials though still just a few minutes overall compared to OTA.
Hulu+ has often only one 15 second commercial during a break and most
are just PSAs.
For the Netflixers looking for a dark comedy horror film for Halloween
may I recommend "Night of the Living Dead: Re-Animation". This is
indeed a sequel to the "Re-Animator" films including Jeffery Combs
playing a role. There is even some funny political satire liberals
will love in the film (can we say "Sister Sarah").

It would seem that the MMY got a little confused - instead of
extolling the Vedas, he should have been promoting the Tantras.
Apparently there are no 'bija' mantras mentioned in the Rig Veda. In
order to establish the TM practice, the MMY should have been
explaining how TM came to use the bija mantras.
>From what I've read, TM practice and the use of bijas comes from the
tradition Sri Vidya, and not from the Rig Veda. The Sri Vidya is a
tantric sect, purportedly founded by Shankaracharya. Swami
Brahmananda Saraswati was a member of the Sri Vidya - all the
Saraswati sannyasins are headquartered at the Sringeri matha.
Swami Krishnanda Saraswati:

SBS's guru, Swami Krishanand Saraswati, was from Sringeri. The
primary symbol of the Sri Vidya is the Shri Yantra with the TM bijas
inscribed thereon. There are fifteen bija mantras listed in the
Soundarylahari, some of them are TM bija mantras, according to James
Duffy. But, there are in fact sixteen bijas listed in the Sounda, the
last one used for advanced practice.
So, it's obvious that TM adherents should be looking to the Tantras,
such as the 'Saundaryalahari' for the origins of TM, not the to the
Vedas. The Rig Veda has little to say about yoga practices such as
'TM'. The Rig Veda is based on sacrificial rituals, dedicated to
appeasing the celestial beings that control the forces of nature,
such as earth, wind and fire, etc.
The demi-gods, such as Krishna, Vasudeva, Balarama, and Ramchandra
are deified heros of Indian mythology. There are no 'istadevatas' and
their 'bija mantras' mentioned in the Rig Veda.
The use of bijas came a long time after the composition of the Rig
Veda, during the Gupta Age in India. Bija mantras are products of the
Indian alchemists, not the Vedic rishis. The Rig Veda was probably
compiled before the Aryan speakers even arrived in India. TM practice
is almost pure tantra practice, with a little fertilizer thrown in
for good measure.
