"After doing some research, I bought 3 Amazon Fire Sticks with the voice remote, cancelled Dish, upgraded to 30Mbps internet, added Sling 25 channels, added standard Hulu, and CBS All Access. Guess who still gets 96+% of the channels watched, added Prime Music and several hundred shows (that networks don't play) to all the TVs in the house, and saved over $700 per year compared to what I paid this past year?"
"The AFS is a device that provides you with both the hardware and software needed to watch such shows and it bundles everything together nicely so it is extremely easy to use. Some apps (channels) are free and they offer limited programming on demand from shows they aired in the past. PlayStation Vue (the one I signed up with) offers bundled packages of channels just like cable or satellite services and they are live broadcasts! The amazing thing with Vue is you can go into the guide, pick a show that was aired, say, two hours ago that you missed and watch it in its entirety! Another sweet thing about using the AFS for television viewing is no installer has to come to your house to set up your equipment and when you’re finished with their service nothing has to be returned."
"And I even bought a TV sound bar to improve my watching experience,TV Sound Bar, Meidong Bluetooth Soundbar with Built-in Subwoofer, 36 inch 2.0 Channel Home Theater Speakers, Wireless and Wired Bluetooth Audio for TV/PC/ Phones/Tablets/ Echo dot (2017 Model) it is a really good partner with my old TVs,also recommend. I found that the included power adapter isn't really necessary as long as you have a powered USB Port on your TV to plug it in to.I did notice that if you are using the 2.4GHZ wireless on your Wireless Network it does affect the speed especially if you have COMCAST/XFinity-, or other Cable provider as they are throttling the 2.4GHZ bandwidth to 25Gbps. If you don't know for sure run a SpeedTest and find out what your download speed is- upload is not at Full Duplex so it will be slower on both bands. It comes pre-loaded with your Amazon account details, so the only setup you need is to plug it in and enter your WiFi password, using a simple on-screen prompt. A short HDMI extension cable is included, which is handy if your TV has awkwardly-positioned ports. As with the previous-gen Stick, the extension cable also seems to boost WiFi reception a bit. It has the usual 4-way navigation pad and media controls, but no volume buttons - you’ll need to keep your TV remote handy for that."

"I looked at a lot of options both on Amazon as well as elsewhere before settling in this one. Included are a complete assortment of screws, bolts and washers (all neatly organized and labeled in individual packets), a double-sided spanner wrench, a very nice magnetic level, and even a 10' HDMI cable. I just enlarged it with a round needle file, but since they don't include any spares, if you don't have a file or another washer laying around, you'll need to get one. Just thought I'd throw that out there in the interest of full disclosure. Once this was installed, I was impressed with not only the sturdiness, but also with the complete range of motion."
"8/28/2017 UPDATE: The review and the pictures below are accurate for the TV mount I purchased on 01/26/2015. I didn't use the included lag bolts because of the poor quality complaints in previous reviews. I didn't want to take the chance to strip the included bolts so I bought 5/16-9 2-1/2 lag bolts from Lowes (item 63396) and a box of 1/4" Toggler bolts (Lowes item 118084). On one of the 65" TVs and the 50" TV, the 2x4 studs were spaced perfectly and I was able to mount them using 4 lag bolts each. On the other 65" TV, the stud was about 2" off center so I put 2 lag bolts in the stud and 4 toggler bolts in the left and right most holes."

"When you purchase a Roku set up is easy and only takes about 15-20 minutes max. The newest Roku Ultra even now has options for powering on the your TV and volume. Once you see how easy setup is, realize the money saved cancelling cable, see how fast it can load all the hundreds of channels you chose, navigation is intuitive, even my wife after a few months is now hooked on the Roku. So long expensive cable company and noisy, slow, large, crashing DVR's. Now having owned them for almost a year, reliable, cheaper, faster, easier, intuitive, and many many more options available then a DVR, it's almost too good to be true."
"I have used Roku for years,including several different models.The best new thing of note is Roku has recently released The Roku Channel,which has hundreds of free movies.It is ad supported.Roku has just about every app you can imagine (YouTube/Pandora/Netflix/Amazon/Hulu/HBO Now) plus tons of more apps in many different categories.Roku Ultra is their top of the line device,and has many unique features that the other models do not have.Here are some points to consider when deciding on which model of Roku to buy: 1)If you need to connect by WiFi in a room far away from your WiFi router,I would recommend the Roku Streaming Stick PLUS or Roku Ultra. 4)If you are looking for a bundle of channels of live TV to replace cable TV,check out Sling TV,Spectrum TV,Direct TV Now,Hulu,Pluto TV and Playstation Vue.All of these are paid services except for Pluto TV,which is free."
"I got tired of laggy interaction and playback and unsynchronized sound from my Amazon stick, and upgraded to this after reading many positive reviews."

Reviews
"While I'm not new to A/V I am new to dedicated home theater equipment, so I immediately called around to a few local professionals who design and install this stuff for people to find out what kind of equipment they work with and recommend and this receiver was at the very top of the list for really good equipment on a budget. I HIGHLY recommend this receiver for use in a home theater setup!"
"Once I got past the Japanese setup screens (the language is the icon with "ABC" on it), it was pretty simple. That's normally a good thing; but not if you want to continue to listen to a CD and only had the TV on to change a setting. But I do have an older TV that requires me to use audio out (RCA plugs) linked to Audio1 on the amp. The amp produces the upper frequencies beautifully and cleanly, and the timber of the violins and cellos is exquisite. I had an Onkyo which I thought handled those things really well until I heard this Yamaha."
"This unit is designed to link video equipment and output their associated audio. The unit offers a number of pre-configured sound-modifying selections, each adding fixed amounts of reverb along with slight fixed tonal adjustments to enhance your movie viewing or gaming experience. Yamaha devoted a lot of hardware and firmware to decoders, special spatial effects and multi-room networking but left out the most important audio adjustments."

I did find it relatively easy to record a few shows that I watch at times. I did plug in a usb drive to test the fact that I could view my photos on it, on the tv."

Best Blu-ray Players & Recorders

Sony UBP-X800 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Player (2017 Model)
Come home to a more immersive experience with 4K HDR playback and the amazing realism of Dolby Atmos surround sound, plus the incredible detail of Hi-Res Audio. Stream in 4K HDR and play almost any disc or file format.
Reviews
"Positives: * Build quality (feels like a high end player). * Sleek, minimal, understated physical design. * Excellent scaling so 1080P Blu-rays look great (set to output 4K so the player does the scaling; I use the "Auto2" setting for '4K Upscale Setting' in 'Screen Settings' which outputs 4K video for everything when connected to a 4K compatible TV). * Supports 3D Blu-rays (as well as UHD BD discs, regular 2D Blu-rays, SACD, DVD, DVD-Audio and CD). * Has a 2nd HDMI port for audio only so you can connect it to a receiver (like one that doesn't support 4K). * Includes a wired Ethernet/LAN port (as well as built-in WiFi). * Includes Bluetooth so you can listen with Bluetooth headphones. * Decent paper/printed manual. * Small but functional remote. * Netflix starts very quickly. * 2x free 4K movie discs when you register the player and get a coupon (must do this before this offer expires). * Quiet. The downsides/quirks: * I had trouble manually checking for an update. * No Dolby Vision (DV) support. * No HDR support in Amazon app (but does support 4K) (the Netflix app does support 4K & HDR). * UPDATE 2017-08-12: Twice now it has frozen while watching 2 different 1080P Blu-rays. Other: * I could not get a bitstream/Atmos audio feed to my receiver until I turned off the "BD Audio MIX Setting" in the Audio Settings. * No display on front; just a small green LED that isn't annoyingly bright (use the 'DISPLAY' button on the remote for a nice on-screen display). * No analog outputs. * Made in Malaysia. * No optical digital out (instead it's coaxial). * No cables included (no HDMI cable so you'll need a "Premium High Speed" or "High Speed" HDMI cable that supports 18 Gbps bandwidth). So far this unit has been performing without issue and even updates over a wired connection (unlike my first unit). If this unit continues to perform well then I'll up my rating back to 5 stars and assume that my first unit was just a bad one. UPDATE 2017-09-02: The new unit has been working very well. UPDATE 2017-10-11: My new unit continues to work better than my old one (no freezes and reboots) but there are bugs playing content back, especially Netflix when it tries to do a Dolby Digital+ soundtrack... some very strange things can happen if you try to go back 10 seconds."
"It got to a point where the picture was distorted, would blank out, and/or the player would freeze up and only a hard reset would fix the issue. To be clear, yes the HDMI cable was updated and more than capable of handling 4K, the picture would distort when playing both discs (DVD, Blu-Ray, and 4K) and apps (Hulu, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Vudu), and it wasn’t the TV because I even purchased a new Sony XBR55930E. Buyer beware, this is a great player when it works but it is absolutely not worth the time, effort, and frustration. Player #1: Easy set up, everything loads very quickly, and the control is noticeably heavy, in a good way. Therefore, unless you absolutely ~must~ have a 4k blu ray player (we've invested pretty heavily in 4k movies at this point), then I would hold off on this purchase until improvements have been made."

Reviews
"I bought it for my 3 year old for a trip to Florida.Other reviews stated the plastic seemed cheap and I would agree When I first got it. That is not the case though My daughter is very hard on things and it has been super durable."
"Iv included a picture and video which have diagonal lines which are caused by the camera and are NOT visible on the actual screen itself."
"I bought this portable DVD player on the 6th of March, 2017; received it through Amazon prime on the 8th guaranteed."
"Included in the package is a mini DVD game disc, game controller, AC adapter (3 foot cable ), remote control, three foot long car charger/power cord, antenna and an audio/video output patch cord to plug the device into a TV that has composite video input ports. A glance at the instruction manual was not illuminating so I proceeded testing this review sample player by trial and error. The antenna (included) plugs in and I pushed the mode button until radio appeared on the screen and then stopped. Well, there was one problem, the battery was fully depleted after 103 minutes so I could not finish the movie without plugging in the AC adapter – something to note if taking the player on the road. This media player performs many functions but it is not built to withstand a lot of abuse, not surprising given its modest price point, so it may be better in the hands of an adult rather than a child."
"I'll refrain from regurgitating the product specs, which are comprehensive, and focus my review on what I liked about the review sample that I received and why I awarded it five stars. For me I love the convenience of having this in the kitchen to catch glimpses of movies while I am cooking. The video is more than adequate, as is the sound quality for close in watching. If I were more of a CD listener I would use that feature too, but to be honest I usually stream my music from a phone to a bluetooth speaker, so am not going to speculate in the sound quality for music."

Reviews
"I bought this DVD recorder to copy many old family home movies on videocassettes to DVDs. After some advice from customer service at Toshiba, I have been able to use the recorder to dub my old home movies successfully to DVDs. Like several other users, I found that when I followed the instructions for dubbing to DVDs, the recorder showed a "Barred" icon, a slashed red circle. I got some very helpful advice from the first customer service agent at Toshiba, but I was still unable to resolve the problem. Both customer service agents at Toshiba were very knowledgeable and did an excellent job of explaining their advice. I will summarize the advice below so that other people who have difficulties with the recorder can try these steps to resolve their problems. Press Play and then Pause (not Stop) at the point slightly before you wish to start copying."
"Prompt delivery, excellent packaging, and the product is working just great for us."
"Also machine was damaged on arrival with a dent in the top front, unsure how this happened, but reported to Amazon. Had literally 1000 VHS tapes to dub and was hopeful for a machine to hold up and do the job. Although VHS is an outdated format, I wish a more reliable company than Toshiba would produce a great machine that would do the job advertised."
"BUT THIS Toshiba DVD Recorder is full of frustrations and their customer service is even worse! The first time I got this same device was from a local pawn shop and it worked good for a while. This time when I bought it new at Amazon, I made sure to insure it and they said they will take care of my claim! If you buy this dvd recorder from Toshiba, you were amply warned and I can promise you'll regret it as I deeply do!"
"I made a couple on the machine itself and I took a few I had made on my prior machine. None of them upconverted although all my HDMI cables were set up correctly (I also tried Component cables to no avail)."

"I'm just happy to have this because I have no other way to watch the DVDs I have received as gifts from friends and family who assume I live in the "modern age" and have the kinds of entertainment systems most people have today. Now, I don't have to drag my laptop, battery cords, added speaker wires and the like from room-to-room to watch a DVD--a great relief and that makes this just right for me!"

Reviews
"I have nothing to compare it to other than my lightly textured tan wall and boy what a difference!"
"After the screen was attached to all the clips, I released the screen from the two top/center clips and two bottom/center clips (where the center posts gets wedged in). Then, with far end of the center post in the groove of the frame, I was able to use my index fingers and thumbs to force the post and frame away from one another just enough for the end of the post to drop down into the groove."
"Easy to install and looks amazing!"
"Also when you put the first tension rod in place, you want to measure its position first to make sure it aligns with the tension point at the opposite side of the frame."
"Also very much appreciated the person who posted the video instructions, as I've never assembled anything like this and it really helped me to see how it all went together. I would highly recommend watching the 4:59 "Excellent Screen" video before assembling."
"I am giving this 5 stars!!"
"This is my first screen - bought to go with my first projector and I couldn't be happier. The projector looks great against even a white wall .. but this screen takes it to another level."
"The only thing that we struggled with was the very last step which was inserting the support bar across the center so one thing I suggest is putting that bar in place before snapping the last few pins for the screen."

Reviews
"Havana FL Terrain: Hilly in a slight valley and trees surrounding the property. Movies and TV shows streamed via my DSL and my DVD collection helped. Recently I decided to try a converter box on my TV, it's an oldie but goodie HD 1080i DLP. I used my old satellite RG6 cable and hooked the antenna to it and laid it on the patio rail. I also decided to pick up a Windgard XT LNA-200 Boost preamp since this antenna is not amplified at all. I placed the LNA on the pole right under the antenna, hooked everything up and aimed the Yagi to 94 degrees magnetic. Construction is of high quality aluminum, stainless, and plastic/nylon parts and I have no doubt it will last for years to come. Networks received - ABC CBS NBC FOX and a few piggyback stations that transmit from the networks including a channel that plays old B&W movies, love 'em, and a local weather channel so I can tune into MY area for up to date weather feeds. All the other antennas I tried only got signal strengths fluctuating of around 49 - 55% amplified - that was unacceptable to this engineer. The RCA ANT751R and the Wingard LNA Preamp are a perfect combo if you live in an area like mine. -v-. Update: 04-04-2017. The antenna reviewed above with it's Wineguard Preamp are still functioning perfectly."
"Once i got the antenna installed and correctly oriented, I went from 0 to 48 digital and analog channels!"
"I've also added a 4 tuner Tablo Wi-Fi DVR with a 2 TB Western Digital Elements hard drive. With the local channels covered, Amazon Prime and Netflix we have plenty of content to watch."
"So I purchased and installed this antenna up in my attic and ran a coax to the splitter downstairs to feed my house."

"Here's the short version: If you grew up poor and can't mentally justify spending a month of rent in urban California on a single television, if you're poor as heck right now but could conceivably afford this television, if you've never owned a 4k TV, if you've never owned an especially large TV, you will not be disappointed by this gigantic freaking monstrosity of a display. The detailed version: Given the extremely low cost compared to similarly sized TVs it is surprisingly high quality. It has a lot of service integrations, such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Instant Video, Google Play Movies, and a few others. IT'S HUGE OH MY GOD I AM BAD AT CONCEPTUALISING PHYSICAL SPACE I DID NOT REALISE HOW BIG FIFTY-FIVE INCHES IS EVEN WHEN ESTIMATING ITS SIZE BASED ON MY EXISTING 40" TELEVISION I LITERALLY HAD TO REARRANGE MY ENTIRE ROOM AND BUILD NEW FURNITURE TO ACCOMMODATE THIS THING??????? Regarding complaints I've seen in other reviews: My product did not show up broken, it has not stopped working despite extensive use since I got it, I have no complaints about the refresh rate, it displays 4k content over HDMI with no issues, they say it's a glossy screen but it's really just unusually and disconcertingly smooth and otherwise significantly less glareful and reflective than my previous television, it has effectively no inconsistencies with backlighting or colour (just a small spot that's slightly brighter, which is only visible at extreme viewing angles or if the screen is effectively displaying nothing but black, and I don't mean like really dark or a scene at night I mean like literally it is displaying the colour black over 50% of the screen, and only then is it noticeable from a front angle, and just barely at that). So if you're one of those folks that buys artisan gold plated audio cables aged seven years in oaken casks, if you buy two of the Ti version of the latest nVidia graphics card because you absolutely need to run everything on "Ultra" at 120FPS in 4k, if you're the kind of person who thinks Grey Goose tastes better, you probably won't like this TV."
"It is a ridiculously good price, says it has HDR (HDR10), it has some local dimming type qualities and is under $400…It’s also from a manufacturer that, quite frankly, I am not very sure of as I am not familiar. What pushed me over the proverbial “edge” to buy this was two-fold…First, it is quasi suggested by Amazon, the price is great and I know it has a Roku built in. The reviews, research and data specs I found for this TV all outweighed going with a more familiar brand. Now, the premier models (aka, flagship) for Samsung and LG are absolutely AMAZING but they also cost a lot more. This TV has a refresh rate of 60hz but some internal hardware bumps it up to 120hz but does give it a bit of a “soap opera” effect. This is different as calibration usually makes the tv show it’s best picture but that doesn’t seem to be the case here. What I love about this is an option to use to have “Speech” mode so language in movies, shows, etc, is clearer without having to turn the TV up in general to loud levels. Breakdown. It has HDR (HDR10 and it looks great for the price). Great up scaling. Screen cast. Roku remote and User Interface. Simple, fast and easy to use User Interface. Good apps/thousands of channels because it is a Roku. 3 HDMI (All can do 60hz 4k at 4:4:4 or 4:2:2). Headphone/speaker out. OTA Tuner. Component input. Great Sound for a budget TV. 1 ARC HDMI. 1 MHL HDMI. As wide as my 2010 Sony 46” TV (small bezel on this). Inexpensive. Full LED backlight array, it seems, with local dimming. It doesn’t perform as well as much more expensive TV’s but it performs well at this price point. Wifi – True Dual Band AC and have had ZERO drop outs thus far. Some cons are: Needs another HDMI input. No 3D (if that is a con). Could use more than 1 USB port. I would recommend taking advantage of the 2 year warranty available so you get the 1 year manufacturer one and 2 after that."
"The Roku OS is super easy, The antenna integration and USB storage for recording live programming are great. If this set can continue to perform, I will replace my main Panasonic Plasma with the new TCL C Series. The pic is from a nature show "The Hunt" streamed from Netflix."

Best VCRs

Sony SLV-N71 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
The SLV-N71's dual-azimuth construction uses two pairs of recording heads rather than one, each optimized for a specific mode (one for SP recording, the other for EP), while 19-micron heads deliver the clearest possible picture when recording or viewing in EP (extended-play) mode. The VCR automatically marks the tape with an index signal at the point where each recording begins so you can easily scan back to the start of a recording using these signals as a reference. VCR Plus+ further simplifies programming, as it lets you set the VCR to record programs based on common PlusCode numbers found in the TV listings of over 600 newspapers and TV Guide --no more worrying about start and end times for your most frequently recorded shows. Adaptive Picture Control (APC) tests each tape and adjusts recording parameters for the best performance and adjusts playback for an ideal balance between picture sharpness and low video noise. VCR Plus+ lets you set the VCR to record programs based on common PlusCode numbers found in TV listings.

Reviews
"I used the white polishing disc on 2 minutes (which is really at least 4 minutes) and it blew out one of my Simpsons Season 4 disc rendering it unplayable."
"DBPowerAmp will try to recover the information, and will tell you if the CD can't be ripped accurately. In my experience, it will allow you to repair almost any optical disk (other than BluRay) to make it entirely playable and usable again. This is actually where the data resides, essentially on the reverse of the label area, beneath a layer of protective plastic. What it won't do is what I bought it for, which is to make a damaged disc entirely perfect, not just playable, but rippable to the hard drive with 100%, total, flawless to-the-exact-bit accuracy. If your purpose is to take a damaged XBox disc bought at a yard sale for $2, and make it work fine on the kids' machine, it is great."
"Whether you correctly follow the directions on the unit, imitate a youtube instruction, or somebody's user review here on Amazon, there is a likelihood that you will get a working non-Bluray disc. On the Dreamcast discs I tried, one of them was brought to almost perfect working condition while another disc looked better but became unplayable by not loading anymore."
"It would fix very minor scratches but gouges were completely beyond its capability, The JFJ will grind off microscopic layers of the disc surface to remove the gouges. Clean the plastic grindings off the sandpaper with a Scotch Bright pad after every 10 second cycle. This machine will fix any disc scratch as long as the data is still in tact."
"Pros -. -VERY AFFORDABLE. -Easy adjustments can fine tune the results. -Generally well built. -Customer support is quite good/friendly/available/small team. -Easy to find supplies/refills. Cons -. -Instructions are confusing and very conditional... some things you learn by trial and error. -Heat can be an issue at times. -it cant really fix blu rays, ps3 or destroyed condition discs... also requires either some creatively or additional items for GC discs. -sanding pads we've found to be hit or miss with even sanding. -Take a lot of practice to get right. Overall, its the best budget product on the market, which isnt as much a compliment as an indictment of their competition."
"I purchased it mainly for games as my children are rough with them."
"Great disk cleaning system."
".....maybe i cant read directions well... Or maybe this product just ruind every disc put in it.... About 75% of discs i tried cleaning would never play on any device again... Kinda sucks."

"So if you're using something that outputs a more square image, you should configure your TV screen size to 4:3 when using this device if possible so that th image looks as it should and is not stretched out."
"Mine didn't have a USB port so I had to get a USB to 110 converter to power the unit."
"The 1080 setting has brought my old VCR tapes and early DVDs back to beautiful life on the flatscreen TV/monitor combo."
"FINALLY got all my old school gaming systems going to my HDMI projector!"
"I got this to use with my original 10 year old Wii that only had the RCA output jacks. So if anyone has an original old Wii and a new spiffy TV without RCA jacks this is the ticket for you."
"Changing the screen size and setup wasn’t doing anything - it adjusted the sides, but it looked like we just needed to be able to shift the image up on the screen by a few inches in order to see menus and buttons that were being cut off. Most importantly though, the game image fits perfectly onto the screen now with no cutoff at all."
"Got this to connect and old RCA/S-Video only VCR/DVD player to a 2016 Pioneer receiver that did not want to work via RCA."
"Tried to use to to connect an old Samsung DVD/VHS combo player to my Bose SoundTouch 130 system which is what I have my Samsung LED HD TV running through."

"The lesson here is to make sure that you have a well charged battery if you are running on DC power (and also to keep some 10-amp fuses handy). The sound level is adequate in a quiet room but is woefully inadequate for a "moving vehicle" or even "in a camper during a rain shower". This is OK as long as you mount it to compensate (as an example, if you put this on top of your kitchen refrigerator, you'd want to tilt it downward)."
"I liked it for the standard basic reasons (it receives digital broadcasts and is smaller than a tube-TV. What I didn't like about this TV was..... 1) The channel-changer was slow and the "Favorites" selection was awkward to use and for some reason didn't always work. 5) For some reason, it gets confused when the signal is weak and "jams up" to an unviewable display of garbage that can only be reset by exiting the channel and re-selecting again."
"Seems good."
"This TV met all of my expectations and more."
"Awesome LED TV with super clear, sharp and colorful picture....I use it off and HDMI and it is very sharp....Nice unit..."

Reviews
"I was however concerned since some of the reviews said that the sides will open up easy and that you cant slide them around without them opening, and I even read one that recommended super gluing the sides to prevent them from opening. The boxes themselves have little snap on pieces that snap together, so I see why people might say they come undone. So I went ahead and put my games in it and found that if you put them in going from the front of the box to the back of the box and make one big row you can fit 26 dvd's/games, but if you go from the side of the box to the other side and make two rows, you only fit 24."
"Purchased a two-pack of these double wide boxes, plus a mega pack of paper cd sleeves and have now organized our collection of discs."
"The fold over snap edges of the box add a nice stability."
"I wish the buttons were black instead of silver but that's the only negative I can find and it's pretty minor."
"I do like the material used for the actual box, but I find it inexcusable to use such feeble snaps for holding the otherwise sturdy box together."
"I was able to put all 200 CDs of the Mozart225 collection + 55 additional CDs, all in cardboard sleeves, into one box."

Reviews
"Also bought the 4 Port Cable TV/HDTV/Digital Amplifier Internet Modem Signal Booster Internet AMP for another $26.17, then off to Home Depot for 25 feet of electrical wire, an outlet box, GFCI outlet, and outlet cover. Now I have ALL the local channels over the air (OTA) and Netflix, Amazon Video, and a bunch of other streaming apps on my smart TV if I want them."
"I picked a heading with the most antennas and then averaged the heading from all of the antennas in that general direction. Now a lot of these channels are terrible, but they're also free, so... All in all I'm very happy with my purchase. I pick up all of the major broadcast networks, a few cool random networks, and some junk channels."
"There are a couple of towers a bit farther out (down in the Akron/Canton area- I'm in Northeast Ohio in Chardon). Before I installed this GE antenna in the attic, I tested it on the main floor of the house. On ground level, in the front room, I pointed it out the window toward the broadcast towers and I could not believe the signal I got! I had to move and adjust the antenna to get signals for other channels, but it demonstrated that it's reception was quite good. I hooked it into my antenna's signal amp (it only gives me a 10 dB bump) and went back downstairs to test. Because I have a long cable run from the antenna to the splitter, I need the signal amp. For its size and lightweight design, I was extremely surprised at how much signal this antenna collects. So, my antenna is pointed at approximately 240 degrees in order to receive broadcasts from Cleveland stations. (My antenna is pointed approximately in that direction - WSW - and I'm receiving broadcasts from Cleveland, Akron, and Canton stations). It'll be interesting to see how the performance of the GE 34792 antenna changes as the weather warms up and the trees fill in. Update 2/18/2015 - Channel 33 out of Youngstown is no longer being consistently received (the signal comes and goes). This certainly can be chalked up to atmospheric conditions because the antenna is not pointed toward that broadcast tower. However, with the antenna pointed toward Cleveland and Akron towers, I'm getting rock solid reception. This explains why I was always adjusting the RCA ANT-751, a more directional antenna whose signal reception was more narrow and focused. In fact, it's more in line (west) with Cleveland towers (where the antenna is pointed) than 17 and 23 (which are farther south). So, it appears the solution to grabbing Channel 49 is to simply upgrade my signal amplifier (due to my long cable run from attic to basement). Still, it's nice to know if the signal amplifier stops working, I don't have to run out and purchase a new one right away. Again, the only Cleveland station not received (signal amp disconnected) is 55 (CW Network). Update 12/10/2015 - A rather large fog blanketed the area last Saturday evening. I realize that atmospheric conditions can come into play and this particular change in the weather had me scratching my head."
"paired along with PCT 1-PORT BI-DIRECTIONAL CABLE TV HDTV AMPLIFIER SIGNAL BOOSTER WITH PASSIVE RETURN PATH to get an extra 15DB i crossed my fingers, ordered and shipped to her aunts place. on 12/27 i went over then and pulled her cable line from the splitter, added 25 feet of coax and ran it into the attic over head."

Reviews
"I want to preface this review by saying that I purchased the AmazonBasics 12-Sheet High Security Micro-Cut Paper/CD/Credit Card Shredder with Pullout Basket, and that thing is absolutely wonderful. If you have a bunch of shredding to do, consider the bigger shredder- AmazonBasics 12-Sheet High Security Micro-Cut Paper/CD/Credit Card Shredder with Pullout Basket."
"The items you run into the machine are diagonally cross cut instead of the straight line cutting (pictures attached). Anyone with time on their hands can sit down and place all of your straight line cut documents back together which is why I recommend you stick to the diagonally cross cut feature at the least - which this one offers. Micro-cutting is the ultimate feature to have. If you do happen to jam it or it slows down because you added to many pages at one time it does have a reverse switch."
"If you put more than 6 pages, the motor bogs down but will slowly chew through it- I've done that a few times where it just stopped. There is a safety switch on the back that only allows the shredder to work while in the supplied can (this prevents chopped fingers if you don't unplug it while cleaning the teeth out; BUT if you want to shred into a bigger container, you aren't able to.)."
"I bought this to shred some extra personal documents I had around the house and it works great."
"Also, if you shred several documents in sequences, the machine will overheat and shut itself off."
"A few days ago I tossed in some insurance documents--about 6 pages worth--and the shredder jammed halfway through. I put it in reverse, and it made noises like it was in reverse, but the documents did not come out."

Reviews
"Santa brought my daughter a Wii for Christmas, but I think he had a bit too much cider and did not realize that the Wii he brought only had one control. You *have* to buy (or own) a Wii controller to go with it. It is probably worth shopping around to see if you can find a Wii Motion Plus remote for cheaper than this case plus the control, but if you already have the control itself then this is the way to go."
"Pros: - Nintendo part. - clicked in to wiimote and lock lever held as it should. - system recognized it, no problem. - Fits the original Nyko wiimotes too!! Back then Nyko's were half the price of Nintendo Wiimotes and they had more colors before Nin thought of it....these sensors fit them too and the chuck fits in as well. - comes with the silicone covers. Cons: - they really should've designed better covers...thinking access to battery compartment. Otherwise, I can't say I had major negatives."
"The motion plus and the black cover are what Ive been wanting for a while now, just never took the plunge."
"I would give this five stars but I am unsure if the occasional issues are game related or hardware related and I do not have another game to test this with."
"Before this I only played wii sport for about one month and didn't know what motion plus is. I had some issues with only controller but it catches motion movement well better."

"After doing some research, I bought 3 Amazon Fire Sticks with the voice remote, cancelled Dish, upgraded to 30Mbps internet, added Sling 25 channels, added standard Hulu, and CBS All Access. Guess who still gets 96+% of the channels watched, added Prime Music and several hundred shows (that networks don't play) to all the TVs in the house, and saved over $700 per year compared to what I paid this past year?"
"And I even bought a TV sound bar to improve my watching experience,TV Sound Bar, Meidong Bluetooth Soundbar with Built-in Subwoofer, 36 inch 2.0 Channel Home Theater Speakers, Wireless and Wired Bluetooth Audio for TV/PC/ Phones/Tablets/ Echo dot (2017 Model) it is a really good partner with my old TVs,also recommend. I found that the included power adapter isn't really necessary as long as you have a powered USB Port on your TV to plug it in to.I did notice that if you are using the 2.4GHZ wireless on your Wireless Network it does affect the speed especially if you have COMCAST/XFinity-, or other Cable provider as they are throttling the 2.4GHZ bandwidth to 25Gbps. If you don't know for sure run a SpeedTest and find out what your download speed is- upload is not at Full Duplex so it will be slower on both bands. It comes pre-loaded with your Amazon account details, so the only setup you need is to plug it in and enter your WiFi password, using a simple on-screen prompt. A short HDMI extension cable is included, which is handy if your TV has awkwardly-positioned ports. As with the previous-gen Stick, the extension cable also seems to boost WiFi reception a bit. It has the usual 4-way navigation pad and media controls, but no volume buttons - you’ll need to keep your TV remote handy for that."
"The AFS is a device that provides you with both the hardware and software needed to watch such shows and it bundles everything together nicely so it is extremely easy to use. Some apps (channels) are free and they offer limited programming on demand from shows they aired in the past. PlayStation Vue (the one I signed up with) offers bundled packages of channels just like cable or satellite services and they are live broadcasts! The amazing thing with Vue is you can go into the guide, pick a show that was aired, say, two hours ago that you missed and watch it in its entirety! Another sweet thing about using the AFS for television viewing is no installer has to come to your house to set up your equipment and when you’re finished with their service nothing has to be returned."
