Bought it for family member, they seem to like it

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this for my sister-in-law. She has used it and it seemed to work for her but I don't know that she burns or plays discs on her computer all that often. So it may be a great little external reader/writer or it may be mediocre and I wouldn't know. Not exactly a ringing endorsement but I'm not complaining about it either.

It worked in a pinch

Verified Purchase:Yes
I think I bought this when I was visiting family out west for a few weeks and brought my charging cable but forgot the wall charger. Since we were driving around pretty often and this was cheaper than a wall charger, I got it. It worked. When I left to go home, I left it behind.

It was pretty good

Verified Purchase:Yes
OK, no Star Wars film is EVER going to blow you away like the first one you saw in a theater as a kid. And no Star Wars film is EVER going to please every super hard-core fan. However, if you have pleasant memories of the original trilogy, this takes that story line further, a generation later. Since it's the middle of its own trilogy, it kind of leaves you hanging a bit (as middle films in trilogies always do) but it's still pretty good.

My friends seem to like it

Verified Purchase:Yes
I didn't buy this for myself; I bought it as a gift to friends for their bedroom TV, whose sound they found pretty bad (and I agreed). While no replacement for a dedicated home theater sound system (which would be ridiculous at this price), it was definitely a step up from their TV speakers. They seem happy and that's good enough for me.

My friend seems happy with it
on May 31, 2019
Posted by: Jerry
Verified Purchase:Yes
I didn't actually buy this; I bought it on behalf of a friend to give to her husband for Christmas and didn't want him to see it on the credit card bill. Still, I helped him install it and he seems to be happy enough with it and far prefers it over the sound quality of his TV's built-in speakers. It won't touch a full-blown surround-sound system with decent speakers and a decent audio/video receiver or anything, but at this price, what do you expect? Miracles. It's a step up from TV speakers and that's all you can hope for.

Working pretty good so far
on May 31, 2019
Posted by: Jerry
from The Villages, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
I take a lot of pictures that people want copies of and it's often easiest to give copies to folks on USB sticks rather than over the interweb (those files get kind of big). I wasn't looking for anything super large or super fast, just reasonably big, reasonably fast and reasonably cheap (in case they never got returned). This pack ticked off the full checklist.

Fun enough romp but tries to touch too many bases
on May 31, 2019
Posted by: Jerry
from The Villages, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Yeah, this film had a troubled production history and is a bit inconsistent. Is it great? No. Is it fun? Yes. I liked the characters but I think the movie tried to show every incident ever mentioned as being in Han Solo's past and that bogs it down a bit. Still, I enjoyed the actors who played both Han Solo and Lando Calrissian. For most people who don't collect ALL Star Wars movies, I might recommend this as a rental though.

Darker than the first but very good

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're a fan of the Aleins Universe and of the new sequels, you will like this and 4K UHD is as good as you can possibly watch and listen to them at home today. If you're not a fan, this movie won't sway you, no matter how good it looks or sounds. It's not exactly a "joy, joy, happy, happy" film but Ridley Scott can make some amazing-looking films, including this one.

Works but a little inconsistent
on May 31, 2019
Posted by: Jerry
from The Villages, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Deciding to cut the cable, I bought three of these from BB in about a 2-week period and hooked them up to 3 different TVs in my house. They all were easy to set up and they seem to work just fine. However, they all act just a little differently from each other. On one, I absolutely cannot get NetFlix to save in my "favorites" list of apps, though I managed just fine on the other two. On another, my search results for the "Weather Live" app returns zero results even though I found it and installed it on the other two. It's also a bit frustrating to me that both the Fire TV Sticks and the Rokus each have "exclusive" apps. One neighbor can't use a Fire Stick as they don't have the Comcast cable TV app, and has to use Roku. Another can't use Roku as they don't have the Dish Anywhere app and has to use a Fire Stick. I do wish the remotes had numeric keypads to allow jumping to a particular channel on some streaming services (like the above mentioned Comcast and Dish apps). And I wish you could turn them off as they seem to get hot and stay hot. However, you can't beat them for the price, particularly when they go on sale for under $30.

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.

how does the bluetooth work?
You can link a Bluetooth device (like a phone or a tablet) running a music application (streaming or playing audio files on that device) to the A/V receiver and hear the audio come out the speakers or headphones connected to the A/V receiver.

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.

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.
