Loses connection too often.

Great idea and the battery life is great but it keeps dropping connection. Even though Zigbee is great for the range, I would have preferred Samsung use the ZWave protocol for the connectivity.

Dory gets lost as she tries to find her family. And she drags half the ocean along with her as she magically teleports from the waters of Australia to San Francisco bay in just a few minutes. She slowly remembers things, we get many feels and then she finds her friends and family. And along the way we learn that the bay of San Francisco is filled with much junk.

Its wireless. Its a charger. A wireless charger!

This thing is white magic. I don't pretend to understand how it works but apparently it pushes electricity through the ether to my cell phone and recharges it. But it seems to be weak magic because my cell phone has to be really, really close to it, like sitting right on it, or it won't charge. Even then, I have to position my cell phone just right to get it to do magic.
It makes me wonder. If I have to fuss this much to get it to magically charge then its almost easier to use the cable to charge it. Still.... It charges my phone without wires and that is too cool for words. Can it recharge my dead AA batteries?

Love how the movie ties up so many lingering questions from the prior movies. The average price of BluRays is still too high but buying them at best buy helps save a few bucks.

My HDMI Adapter

Let's get real, its an adapter to convert between HDMI and DVI. It does what its supposed to do and there's not much more to it than that. Coming from Best Buy's in-house brand one would expect it to be less expensive than it was but hey, I needed one at the moment and it was there.

This multidirectional Mohu Leaf 30 MH-110583 indoor antenna is compatible with select HDTVs and enables 1080p output. The reversible, paintable design lets you customize the look of the antenna to complement your d~cor.
 

My upstairs tv has the window that is nearby is the old wavey or leaded glass. The antenna I bought for that TV works better on the dowstairs tv. Upstairs there was a lot of static. The antenna was Mohu leaf mini, will the 30 go thru the glass better?

The leaded glass may interfere if you attach the antenna directly onto the glass. Try different areas and positions, I have one of my antennas connected to the back of some furniture and it gets fairly good reception.

Can I run my Xbox 360 to my LG computer monitor with a DVI input with this?

Easy answer is to give it a try. If it doesn't work out, there'll be no harm done and you can return the adapter to Best Buy to get your money back.

I am attempting to use this adapter for converting HDMI from my PC tower to the DVI input on a monitor but it isn't working on either of my monitors.

You need to take a look at the connections on your devices and how DVI is implemented on the monitor. There are two major flavors of DVI: -I and -D. One carries RGB info while the other doesn't. Your monitor may use a DVI adapter but not really implement it other than grab the RGB signal. The user's manual will give you the best answer there.

DVI to HDMI ( without audio )

Can I use this adapter in the back of my Sat unit then run an HDMI cable to the receiver. I am hoping this will provide the video feed.
Hugh, this is a bit late but yes, it should do the trick without any problems.
