We bought this hoping it would be a little slimmer on the bottom to work with an iHome alarm dock, but alas it doesn’t. So it’s going back. The case is nice and seems protective, but just won’t work for me.

I only started playing it a week ago, but I like it so far. Hard enough to be a challenge, but not impossible (there are difficulty levels). The story line is interesting and the mechanics are good.

They are dead simple and work well. We haven’t taken them off and tried to reattach, but they hold like they are glued on to the cases. I think my daughter has 3-4 of them.

It does what it says. The only issue is that the adhesive is single use. It comes with a second set, but it’s not obvious how to get more if needed.
It can only be used with a wired connection, not the battery option.

I bought it for my FiL who has 4-5 older Linksys webcams monitoring wildlife. We added the window mount and put it high in a transom.
Setup was dead simple.
The only issue we’ve had is that it sometimes requires a couple attempts to connect to the wireless network after unplugging it.
I’ll prob get one for myself the next time they go on sale.

IMO, the 10.5 is the perfect size. Not as big and unwieldy as the 12” but big enough to actually be able to type on the screen keyboard. The resolution is great and iOS 11 makes it sing. We now have 3 in the family.

Battery life on the box is a little misleading as it states 8 hrs, but it’s really 4 with another 4 from the extra battery pack/charger. The fit is good once you figure it out, it I’m still struggling with the above ear fit, but below ear works well and you care barely tell they are in. The fit is good and the sound isolation is pretty good. The app works well at EQ settings.

I bought this as filler to get the 25% off camera accessory, so I wasn't expecting a lot. It's sturdy and protective, but the slots for the microsd cards are a little finicky and hard to engage the cards. I'd suggest just putting them in the adapter and storing them that way. For the price, it's not bad.

First off, I don't know if this works for anything other than the GoPro app, but it works great with it. It's immediately recognized and accessing the videos and images is quick and easy. You can even edit straight from the card. I only shoot 1080p, so I don't know how well it works on higher res files. And I'm using an iPhone 6S or a 1st gen iPad mini. The iPhone works better, obviously.
Best $ I've spent on a go pro accessory.

Are you limited in the app on how many devices can be programmed. I don't plan to use the remote, I want to use this with Amazon Echo instead. Seams like it should have unlimited if you don't have to worry about how many programmable remote buttons.

Tv has digital audio out and RCA left and right out .How do I convert to Optical
Is there a converter that can be used to connect digital audio out jack on the tv , to the optical cable that goes to the sound bar? Thank You
Check Monoprice, they might have an Analog to Digital Converter that might do this. I have one that does the opposite (optical to analog stereo that works well).

ecobee ecobee3 Programmable Touch-Screen Wi-Fi Thermostat: Maintain a comfortable home with this programmable thermostat, which is Apple® HomeKit-enabled, so you can control the temperature remotely using your compatible device. Home IQ helps you conserve energy.
Can the ecoe 3 be used with gas system to heat water?
I use a sun heater system for the bath. When the sunlight is out for many days, I need to turn on the gas system manually. Can the ECOBEE 3 detect the temperature of the water into the reservoir and turn on the gás system? Thanks.
I highly doubt it, but you can call ecobee support to verify. They are pretty helpful. As this is all based on room temp, I don't see how it would be able to trigger your water heater reliably (if at all).

how many watts is the subwoofer ??
whats the watts of the subwoofer ????
Per the LG website, it's rated at 200W. But I think that is an ideal number at maximum gain. It's a small woofer, so it's not going to reach the really deep lows if that is what you are looking for.

Direction book
I bought a open box from best buy. There was no manual with it. Is there somewhere on the net I can download a manual?
Yes, on the LG website. Just search for the product model number. And actually, the manual that came with it was just a quick setup guide, you have to go to the website to get anything more detailed. But I'll be honest, there isn't a lot to the manual on the website either. There just isn't a lot to be said about this unit, I guess.

As long as your TV has either an HDMI port with ARC (Audio Return Channel) or a digital optical output, then it will work with this. I'm using it with a 8 year old Panasonic plasma with no issues. I just have a digital optical cable from the TV to the soundbar and all the sources (blu-ray, fireTV, appleTV, etc.) are connected to the TV. You leave the sound bar on the Optical input and just change the inputs on the TV. It couldn't be easier.
If you have a newer TV that supports the HDMI control channel, then your TV remote can control the volume on the soundbar.
