The only down side is that you cannot connect to a WPA2-ENTERPRISE set up.

Love this phone. Only glitch is that it is advertised as "dual Sim" and that it can take a micro SD card but its physical configuration allows one to only insert two of the three items. So far I haven't needed the miocroSD card, but worry that Imay soon have to choose between the number of apps and the dual sim feature.

fairly easy to use ... cheaper than the Roku 3, but you must have a line of sight between the remote and the box.

Whenever I have a recurring subscription, instead of storing a credit card with the service, I prefer to use gift cards -- one less way to my data compromised. The SiriusXM website is fairly easy to negotiate to add gift card balances. Whenever a renewal approaches I buy enough value in gift cards to cover the charge.

Whenever I need to list a credit card for a "recurring" account, I prefer to use gift cards instead -- my credit card is stored on one less server. Knowing when the account renews, I can buy enough gift cards to cover it.

We have some flashlights we bought years ago that use rechargeable batteries. Unfortunately we had one of those big storms that are becoming all too common and found out that the original batteries no longer worked. So we bought these to replace them. The bad news is that we have had more storms so we had an opportunity to use the new batteries. The good news is that they worked.

This device differs from other devices in that it does not connect directly to the TV, but instead relies on a home network to distribute signals to Rokus, Amazon Fire TV's, etc. You also need a over the air antenna and an external hard drive. You can also view your recorded programs while away from home on a computer, tablet, smart phone and certain streaming devices such as Amazon Fire (but not Roku). I understand that Apple TV and certain new LG smart TV's will also have apps allowing you to view recorded shows.
They've done a lot of improvement on the apps the past few months, so the experience today is better than early adopters may have experienced.
It does NOT work with cable (analog, QAM, or encrypted) and it will not record from A/V input. It only work with over-the-air digital signals in the US and Canada.
Due to the novel distribution method, you may need to adjust some settings on your router.
We have experienced a few glitches, but their customer support is the best I've seen.

Insignia™ - Digital TV Converter Box - Black
Designed for use with most analog TVs and recording devices, this Insignia™ NS-DXA2 box converts digital broadcast signals into analog signals, so you can enjoy a variety of programming. The remote simplifies operation.
Will this replace my FIOS digital adapter?
The Tablo only works with over the air signals. In our area, this includes ABC, CBS, CW, Fox, NBC, and PBS. Some of our local over the area stations includes feeds from HSN, QVC, and a weather service on subchannels. There are also an increasing array of over-the-air subchannels showing older TV and movies. If you want shows on cable channels (ie USA, TNT, ESPN, etc.) you'll still need FIOS or some other service or combination of services such as Netflix, Hulu, or rent episodes or seasons on Amazon, Googleplay, Vudu.
AND you'll still need internet service -- so you may want to keep just that from Verizon, or price this service from cable operators.
Oh, make sure you can get decent over the air signals with the size and location you can place your antenna. I would suggest getting just the antenna first and using it with a simple inexpensive device to be sure you can get the channels you want at various times of the day and night, and both with and without heavy cloud cover.
