Some good content, but not a lot

There's a small handful of shows that I've really liked on AppleTV, but not enough to continue the subscription after the free 3 months I got for buying a Roku Ultra. Despite having gigabit ethernet coming into that Roku Ultra (which probably only has a 100 Mbps Ethernet connection), AppleTV buffers more than any other service I have.

Love my Xbox Series X!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I am a long-time PC gamer who finally got fed up with dealing with conflicts between Windows updates, hardware and games and went the way of the Xbox. I started with the 360, upgraded to a One and then to a Series X. I love the ease of use of the Xbox in general and the performance of the Series X is so monumentally better than the One (or, of course, the 360) and the games look so good on my 4K TV. I've added a nice wheel & pedals setup on a frame for racing games (I wish more games supported wheels) and joystick/flight controller/flight pedals for Flight Simulator. I do wish I could get a mouse and keyboard that worked with FPS games as I've never learned how to play them well at all with the gamepad. I occaisionally watch Blu-rays (both HD and UHD) on it as well. I do wish the price of the external SSD would come down as much as SSDs for PCs have, but that's another thing altogether. Hard to believe you can get this much horsepower for the price of a midlevel video card for the PC!

Not worth the bother

Verified Purchase:Yes
Technically, this unit works fine. However, I got it for my wife and her long phone conversations with her sisters, but she found it too much a bother to connect and set up that she ends up just wearing her arm out instead to hold the phone to her head. So 4 stars for quality of construction and sound, 2 stars for ease of use.

I got this to expand storage on my Xbox Series X and it technically works. I only put older and smaller games on it so the load times weren't all that bad compared to the internal SSD drive. However, I frequently got popup messages on the Xbox saying that it didn't recognize the drive. That go so tiresome during gameplay that eventually I unplugged it from the Xbox, formatted it for PC use and just use it to move larger files between my house and other locations.

When it works, it works quite well

I've had multiple Roku Sticks but decided to step up to the Roku Ultra to get an Ethernet connection instead of my slower WiFi. The box is very responsive and smooth and everything looks good on my LG 4K OLED HDR10/Dolby Vision TV. However, after 3 weeks of use, it started to suddenly drop the video and output for 3 to 5 seconds, then resume like nothing happened (the show I'd been watching continued to stream the whole time). I tried everything Roku suggested (checking for updates, unplugging it, factor reset, etc.) but now need to return it. After 2 weeks, Best Buy won't take it back and Roku wants me to pay for return shipping, despite being barely into its 1-year warranty. Such a disappointment. Maybe I should have stayed with Roku sticks that I could throw away and replace more cheaply.

Good for what it does

Verified Purchase:Yes
I wish I didn't need this streamer but I got a free year's worth of Paramount+ with my recent LG OLED purchase and the Paramount+ app just will not work directly on the LG WebOS platform. So I was stuck with buying a streaming stick. Since I like my two other TCL TVs that have Roku, I figured I'd go with a Roku and this stick does Paramount+ (and a host of other services) in all resolutions up to 4K with HDR and does it all for a decent price.

I feed in my internet (940 Mbps up and down speeds) and it comes out just as fast to the several devices in my home theater. It has no additional management features, bells or whistles to talk about. It's basic and it works fine so far.

I wish somebody gave me gifts like this!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I actually bought this as a gift for my nephew so that he could play his Xbox Series X at 4K and 120 fps through it and out to his OLED 4K HDR TV while getting support for the latest audio codecs. He reports that it was easy to set up, has a ton of music streaming services he's just beginning to explore, has all the bells and whistles he could ask for and is very happy with it. He might well give it a higher rating than me, but I'm a bit of a video and audio snob and am not as easily impressed by Denon.

What can I say? You either love the Guardians or you don't. If you do and you have the capability of playing UHD discs onto a 4K HDR TV, then this is the best you're going to see this colorful, fun film. And how can anyone resist baby Groot?

This versatile electric freestanding range produces flawless cooking results with Even-Heat TRUE Convection. The unique bow-tie design and convection fan ensure the inside of the entire oven is heated to, and stays at, the perfect temperature. The cooktop features five heating surfaces, including a dedicated warming zone, allowing you to do more on your range.
What are the dimensions of the storage drawer? I'm wondering if the larger oven size makes this too small to be useful.

I am connected to my Direct tv box and can hear/see it. But when I switch to am/fm, tv display goes away. I can’t listen to tv and tuner at same time? I still want the option to switch to HDMI and listen to game on receiver . Please help. Game week
Some higher-end A/V receivers have the option to mix-and-match audio and video inputs but more basic models like this one do not. Even on those that do, you usually have to dive down into a menu system to make these assignments - it isn't all that simple. And since most of the time you're likely to want to listen to the audio input from the same device as the video input, you would have to swap back and forth each time you wanted to listen to the radio or not while watching the TV.

Easily and quickly record up to 100GB of data with this LG BP50NB40 8x external USB 2.0 Blu-ray Disc rewriter that features 6x maximum BD-R and 2x BD-RE write speeds to help you rapidly complete your tasks.
I bought this drive to plug into my computer, and then plug an HDMI into my computer to display the movie on my monitor. This unit doesn't actually output the movie to my monitor. Am I doing something wrong?
This is NOT a DVD or Blu-ray "player" like you would plug into a TV. It does not decode the video or audio into a format your TV understands. It is a "reader" that can read files off a CD, DVD or Blu-ray and pass them to your computer. If your computer has the appropriate software to play the music files on a CD, it can pass it out to an amplifier or amplified speakers. If it has the appropriate software to play the video files on a DVD or Blu-ray, it can pass the video and audio via the HDMI cable you mention to your TV (and to your sound system if you have one). Windows does NOT include software to play video DVDs or Blu-rays and I don't think it has any for audio CDs. I don't know about Apple computers or PCs running Linux.
