ItsMeBobO Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 Got a new one this week. A mother and daughter were on my miip website which shows the playlist and which song is playing now.. but they said they cant hear the music coming from the smart phone. To "Turn on your car radio" they replied, "OH" ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I find it so incredibly ironic that smart phones are responsible for so much of the dumbing down of America. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took me awhile to explain after they told me why they were holding up traffic.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I was asked last night how I worked with the radio station to synchronize the lights. The station that I use is has the last two digits switched from a real station in the area. For years that station was known as "The Christmas Station." I had a handful of people asking how I got that station to go along with my display. When I pointed out the actual frequency, they realized what was going on.

jimswinder Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I was asked last night how I worked with the radio station to synchronize the lights. I get that several times a season too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Yep, got that one too. I am using the FM frequency for a major FM station in San Diego - 105 miles away. I had a lady trying to explain to someone she was talking to on the phone that I had gotten an FM station in San Diego to transmit the music for me. I had to correct her. Good grief - Can't even hear the San Diego station at my house. Duh, that's why I'm using it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtomason Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I had someone read my "tune to" sign and ask if tuning to that station turned the lights on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrant Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 There are lots of people who have no clue about how it all works. Yes, some ask a question or two but most are just there to look and listen. I've gotten a couple of questions though on specifically on how to make it work, can I come back and talk to you, what all is involved to make it work and how hard is it? I tell most that its easier to do than you might think but its not cheap either and that I'm more than happy to help them get started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsMeBobO Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 Unbelievable to me what just happened. Some family from down the street walked over and brought a blaring boom box. He had the wrong station loud a$s loud and said the lights didnt look right. I told him he had the wrong station and he didn't want to believe me. When I asked him to turn it off he was UNABLE for what seemed like a minute. He could not find either the volume or the tuning knob while six of us stood there and waited waited waited. He was clearly missing a few brain cells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
