My old Plantronics was wearing out so I needed to replace it. A few upgrades from my old one. It is very comfortable. The only thing I noticed was that you are unable to increase the volume as much as the old Plantronics Voyager

I connected bluetooth headphones to this device which is connected to my TV. My wife goes to bed earlier than me, with this set up I can have the TV volume off and using the headphones I can have the volume at a comfortable level without disturbing her.

The USB 3.0 7-Port HUB allows up to seven USB 3.0 devices to be connected simultaneously at a transmission speed of 5 Gbps, while still providing connectivity and support for the older USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and 1.1 (12 Mbps) devices. It works with high-bandwidth SuperSpeed USB 3.0 devices, such as an external disk drive, high-resolution webcam, multi-channel audio and more. In addition, it supports fast charging for smartphones, tablets and iPad.

I am always on the road and have had problems over the years with the hard drive failing. With this solid state hard drive I shouldn't have the problems and it is fast and quiet since you don't have the moving parts of a hard drive spinning. My laptop boots up much quicker. More expensive than a regular hard drive but worth the extra money

I had to replace my old trackball after 8 years, it finally died. The features and convenience of the trackball are great. I don't have to move it around like a mouse. It is ergonomically designed and has many features. It is designed for a right handed person. My wife does work well with it being left handed. The ball moves smoothly and can be easily removed for cleaning if it gets sticky.

I considered an extra battery for my Note 4 but instead decided to purchase a portable charger instead. It charges slower than the charger that came with the Note 4 which charges the battery quite fast. It is small enough to carry if I think I will need to charge my phone before I get back home. I do not carry it all of the time.

Had some problems with the optical connection to the sound bar but decided to use the bluetooth connection instead. Both the sound bar and TV are LG and the remote had a problem when connected with the optical cable but when using the bluetooth connection everything worked great. I talked with LG support for the sound bar but was unable to get my problem resolved before I had to leave. Will try again when I get back.

antenna location

we are building a house with a metal roof. I intended to locate the antenna in the attic. Will the metal roof have a negative effect on the TV signal?
By locating any antenna in an attic you will not receive as strong of a signal. If possible locate the antenna outside for optimal reception.

Ditched Direct TV Used existing post DO I NEED A GROUND WIRE

I installed this unit on my sisters mobile home, she's getting a great picture on the FEW Chanel's she is getting, however she can't get some local (CH 4) Chanel's.
INSTALL DAY- I took off dish and mounted the antenna to DTV's existing post and bracket, Where her direct TV was disconnected at the house a Black cable was still connected to a small box going to another one, then from there to another? Who knows maybe a feed to a space shuttle!? I figured she doesn't have DTV anymore so I disconnected that cable following it under the mobile connected to a spliter with two green ground wires on each side, I disconnected all those and ran the coaxel cable straight from the new antenna to my own spliter and then in to both TV cables.
QUESTION:DO I NEED THAT GROUND WIRE? SHOULD I KEEP THAT BLACK CABLE CONNECTED TO THE OLD BOX? Would it make a difference in pickng better reception and possabley getting those local stations? Thanks for any help, I'm a her little sister doing the best I can with the hel of you all :-)
Although not a requirement a ground wire is always a good idea. It helps to protect the TV from lighting.
