I get a few spotty channels, no network or local channels, mostly just Spanish speaking stuff. Can't get PBS either. Lame, wast of money.

Control multiple devices at once with this RCA three-device universal remote. A 40-foot IR range lets you adjust the volume or change channels from anywhere in your room, while the ergonomic, thin design allows comfortable handling. Compatibility with most satellite, cable and streaming players offers versatility, and the partially backlit keypad makes it easy to use in the dark.

I bought this being told it would work with my tv and blu ray player. It has limited functionality with both. I called the manufacturer and they said it was for older devices, not newer tvs and blu ray players. I threw away my receipt like a fool and so now I'm out the money and I have to buy yet another remote to see if it works. Its like shooting in the dark with these things. You would think they had more compatibility info on the packaging or at least their website. This remote is not even listed on the manufacturer's site at all and finding a tech support number was really rather difficult. They told me this remote is for Best Buy only and that is why there is no documentation or support on their website. Best Buy doesn't do anything with this remote for support except sell it. Basically, if you have anything later than 2000, I guess it wont work properly.

I love Star Wars, so this game was a no brainer. Its action packed and has a great story line. I can only play it for an hour though because I get a little motion sick because of the camera movements. Other than that, its great!

I've always bought otterbox but this new design is much sleeker and thinner. It also doesnt have the clear plastic cover that gets dirty so fast. I just use those clear sheets to cover it to protect the screen. I drop my phone a lot, so otterbox is a lifesaver for me, and this new thinner design is great!

I live in a condo and had very limited space. This machine fits perfectly and runs great. I like that you can program your selections so its a one touch start each time. I also like that it weighs your load first before adding water so that it saves water and energy. Great little machine.

Just got my new machine and can't find the answers in the booklet. Can I use HE detergent pods with this washer? Why do I have to remove the soap dispenser if I use powdered detergent? Wouldn't I just add the soap to the drum?

Just an FYI, I only use HE pods in this machine and it works great. Dont use the soap dispenser at all, so I don't know about that.

can I put a microwave oven on top of the washer and keep it there?

I got this washer about 3 weeks ago and I LOVE it! The manual says "don't put anything on top of the washer when it's running." Maybe there is a concern about stuff falling off when it's doing spin?
I had the microwave on top of the previous washer for years with no problems. I don't want to cause any problem but it seems like it is sturdy and stable. Can there be any real reason for not putting my microwave (or whatever) on top of this Samsung front loader? (and leaving it there for the long term.) I would keep a towel underneath it to prevent scratches or sliding about. Help?
I stack my dryer on top of the washer and its a-ok, so I would imagine a microwave would be fine.
