This has been my 4th year of using Turbo Tax.. I love it! All of your personal information is done after the first time you use it.. All you have to do is put in the new numbers and BOOM... done. Also have a personal business and it walks you through the whole process. Saves me @300 dollars not having an accountant do it.. Well worth the cost.

I've had for a couple months now.. With daily use, plug is still solid. Does a good job of charging and I like the light stream in the middle of the cord to let me know if its charging or trickling. Good product

I secured the steel plate to the inside case to my otter box. Not even visible. Hasn't fallen off the mount once it's in position. Mounted the holder to a rounded part of my plastic trim on the dash with the adhesive backing and has not detached. Good product

This cord has already lasted longer than the $10 cords found at the convenience stores. Its Apple certified, so it should last. I also like the lighting scheme incorporated in the cord to show if its charging or trickling. Decent cord at a decent price.

Roku1 is the only one that hooks up to older tv's with RCA type plugs(red, yellow, white), so it fits my bedroom tv perfectly. Netflix, Hulu+ setup was easy. I also like the free streaming channels like Crackle for one. There are many more to choose from. Great purchase!

Internet data usage

I recently have a smart tv and I have a Netflix account. All of a sudden I am exceeding my data usage. I have the highest amount of usage that I can get. Would streaming on fire tv do the same or would be less data due to faster streaming?
All of those services will use the same amount of data. You need to upgrade your internet service to allow you more data for streaming.

Streaming

I am ignorant re streaming. One of your products said that I could stream tv shows to my tv. I'm interested.! What do I need to get to start it. ?
First, get aRoku that is right for your tv. Then you need to subscribe to a streaming service like Netflix, Hulu. Then get ready to cut your cable!!

Roku stick- can not get it to connect

I called Roku and the representative had me try many things, none of which worked. He said that the Roku couldn't be more than 25 feet from the router. Any farther than that and he said it wouldn't pick up a signal. When I bought this product at Best Buy, I was told it was very easy to use. All that I have read says it is easy to use and no where have I seen it mentioned that you have to be so close to your router. Some people say that they have five Roku in their homes, so they couldn't all be within 25 feet of the router, could they? I really want this to work so that I can get rid of my cable. Has anyone else had this problem? I have Verizon fios high speed internet.
I would get a signal extender

Do I purchase a HDMI cable to connect an older TV to Roku 1?

The back of the TV has red, yellow, white connections.
Roku 1 has the cable you need for those plugs included.

Is there a econimical device like the Roku that is also a digital conveter for older TVs?

Is there a econimical device like the Roku that is also a digital conveter for older TVs? I need one that is compatable with Timewarner cable.
As long as you have RCA plugs on the back of your set, conversion is not a problem. Doesn't go through your cable box. You do need Wiifii router. If the tv is older than that, you will need additional hardware(signal converter)
