Just got my iPhone 6S 128gig. LOVE it!! Used iPhone before, was a 4 with 8 gig i think? Like it years ago but screen was too small and did not support 4G/LTE. Went back to android which I like also, but unlike apple phones, after several months they slow down and sometimes freeze. Got the 6S 128 gig on "sale" for $200. Was very happy because it was the 128 gig model. Haven't much used the "new" features like the "live photo" and the like, but intend to soon. The screen size is perfect. Everything works seamlessly and smoothly. It is a very good build quality made with solid materials. It's a little slimmer than I'm used to but a case/protector helps with the feel in my hand. Call quality is good. The speaker is clear and loud. Every bit as loud as my htc one with "beats audio" speakers that are on the front of the phone. I was very happy that I could sync my entire itunes library of music (6,000+ songs), into the phone to stream in my car via bluetooth and eliminate the need for my old ipod classic and STILL have almost 70 gigs of memory left. This after downloading all my "normal" apps and some new ones. My only complaint is... well, nothing! It's a great phone, works great, does everything you could WANT a phone to do and is very easy to use. If you use apple already or are considering trying an apple phone... GET THIS ONE!! You won't be diappointed
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Great 3D
What's not so great: Not the best story line
I thoroughly enjoyed Avatar. I saw it first in 3D in an Imax theater. After that, what other way is there to see it? I mean, REALLY?! But... being that I have a terrific LG 3D tv and set up, I had to get this for my 3D collection. Of course it will never be like seeing it in an Imax, no matter how big an LED 3D tv I get. But it was still great.

What's great about it: wifi, 3D capability, smart apps
What's not so great: remote
I got this BD player for my 3D setup. I truly enjoy everything about it. My onlu downside is the semi-cheesy wand like remote. No big deal for me since I use a Logitech universal anyway. One of the nicest things about this Blu Ray player to me was how fast it boots up. Previous to this one, I had an earlier model Insignia BD player with built in WiFi. It was nice, but was painstakingly slow to boot up. This LG is not.
This product has... Great DVD upconversion, Useful Internet-enabled features, Good connection options, Easy to use controls
About me... Budget Conscious, Avid movie watcher, Love to stream movies

What's great about it: Picks up remote commands as it should, easy plug and play set up
What's not so great: yet a few more wires to hide behind my syatem set up
I don't know what other folks previous to me were complaining about.
I just bought this RF extender for my Harmony 1000 earlier today. I got it for $69.99 elsewhere admittedly but... I read reviews from people about how difficult it was to download the software and set it up. WHAT???
I purchased it despite the reviews because I was having problems with my theater system receiving the IR signal from my remote due to how it is configured in the room. It's not behind glass or cabinets but it is a definate challenge to one's marksmanship none the less.
So I got the product home opened it and read the instrcuction paper and went online in an attempt to download the "needed software" from Logitech. Upon my download attempt, it informed me that there was NO SOFTWARE AVAILABLE for this product!! I was skeptical at this point to say the least.
However, I simply read the paer of instructions that came with it and put everything together as instructed and then plugged it in. As a precautionary measure, I updated my remote again with my programmed activities and... viola!!! Everything works as it should! I tested it in a variety of ways, pointing the remote straight up at the ceiling, from the other end of the room, facing AWAY from my system... No issues at all. Of course I've only had the unit for a day so who knows 6 months or a year down the road? Fortunately, I take VERY GOOD CARE of my tech devices and components so expect no issues in any near future.
As for the "time lag" the RF extender creates between the remote and devices? I haven't noticed any that was discernable. The harmony 1000 and 1100 has a slight lag in carrying out commands anyway but I guess that's the price to pay for having the "GEE-WHIZ!! Lookit that!" remote anyway.
Maybe it's because I JUST got the product today and from the time of previous reviews until now #2012#, they've finally improved it? Because for me it truly was a "plug and play" experience.
Definately an awsome solution for the only flaw in a terrific product!
I would recommend this to a friend!

How do you connect this player to a DirecTv cable box?

You don't,

You probably want to connect it through a home theater receiver via HDMI cable. Most likely your cable/sat box only has video/audio output. SO... With a home theater receiver (via HDMI cables) you connect the tv HDMI input to the theater receiver output. THEN... connect your cable/sat box to the appropriate HDMI input in the theater receiver. Do the same for the blu ray player. Each input on the theater receiver should be plainly labeled in the back. Yes, you have to swith between different sources on the receiver, but it's not difficult. Also, most likely you will experience much better sound than the dinky speakers on your flat panel tv can ever hope to produce. I've never even considered using my tv's built in speakers. How good of a speaker can they put in such a slim tv?
