Great DVR But Voice Control Is Iffy
Customer Rating
4.0
If you're buying this model for voice control, be prepared for some disappointment. Voice control with the remote works most of the time, but sometimes I get an error telling me the app isn't available and I should try again later. Controlling it with Alexa is pretty much a waste of time. It simply takes too long to speak the command and then wait for her to carry it out. And that's when it actually works. Sometimes she'll tell me she can't do something or she'll do the wrong thing. I can get her to pause the TiVo, but I can't get her to resume playing no matter what I say. The voice remote is much faster. I upgraded from a TiVo HD XL, so the onscreen menu is a big improvement over what I had before. It has 2 more tuners than my old unit, yet the whole box is much smaller. And it's awesome that product lifetime service is included with the Roamio OTA VOX 1TB.

This bulb works well with the hub in my Amazon Echo Plus, so I didn't have to buy the Philips Hue hub (or even download the Philips Hue app). I can power it on/off and set the brightness level using my voice via the Echo Plus, or I can do those things manually through the Alexa app.

I needed a flash drive in a hurry when a repair shop said they couldn't save my Sony VAIO laptop. This was one of the cheapest drives at BB. I was able to transfer my files from my old computer to my new Lenovo Ideapad Flex 4.

Fun With Great Visuals

I didn't think I'd like this movie but I ended up enjoying it more than I thought I would. It has great special effects. They look even better in 3D, but don't expect a lot of pop out effects; the 3D mostly adds depth to the screen. The surround sound was cool, and the extras were informative because I knew nothing about the comic book. Highly recommended.

Good Plothole Filler
Customer Rating

"Rogue One" not only shows us how the rebels got their hands on the blueprints to the first Death Star, it also shows us why the Empire built it with the flaw that allowed Luke to blow it up in "A New Hope". The film is funny at times despite the heavy subject manner, but its biggest failure is characterization. Other than Jyn, none of the other characters are fleshed out much, so by the end it's hard to care about them. It's great to have Vader back in this film, but I think the writers missed an opportunity to use him more. Instead, they rely on Krennnic as their main villain, but he sadly comes off as a whiny brat more than someone to be feared. I appreciate the many Easter eggs that call back to the other films in the saga, and I like the re-appearance of certain characters via CGI even if the effect isn't always 100% convincing. As for the Blu-ray itself, I like the steelbook packaging but admit I only bought it so I could own the 3D version of the film. Speaking of 3D, it adds depth to some shots in this movie, but there are zero pop out moments to be seen. The bonus features are lacking because Disney didn't see fit to include the trailers or any of the much-talked-about shots in those trailers that didn't make it into the final film.
