During the winter months, I was picking up over 40 channels OTA from my antenna in the attic and I am about 60 miles to the nearest transmission antenna. Then summer came rolling around and I was only receiving about 20 channels. After numerous attic antenna adjustments, I was able to determine that the connector from the attic antenna to the house coaxial wire was not holding. I bought these and BOOM! OVER 40 CHANNELS AGAIN. Installing these were SUPER SIMPLE. Trim coaxial, remove about half inch of the protected cover on the coaxial, expose the next layer, braided coaxial and then twist on the RJ6 connectors. Took me less than 1 minute to install.

I would recommend this to a friend!

This soundbar works very well with the Sony XBR-65X850D as it should be. First I used the optical out of the TV into the optical in of the soundbar. Sounded Great and no noticeable lag to the wireless subwoofer. The only down side is that it is not sync to the Sony TV. Then I tried using the HDMI high speed cable and connected to the HDMI ARC of the TV to the HDMI input to the soundbar. Again, sound was AWESOME but now when I turn on the TV the soundbar also turns on. I had all the remotes (Directv, Sony Tv and Sony Soundbar) capable of control the the TV and Soundbar at the same time.

WOW! I thought 4K TV will be almost useless when viewing 10 feet away, but to my surprise, I can tell the difference. I had to replace a 16 month old 70" Sharp Aquos Q+ TV because of a horizontal line from top to bottom. I was glad to purchase the Geek Squad Protection. It was a simple exchange and I was looking at the Sony or the Samsung. Sony was clear and Samsung was bright. I rather have clear overall and also the Sony XBR-65X850D integrated very well with the Playstation 4 and AppleTV. I love the apps that comes already in the Sony XBR-65850D like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Vudo, Ultra, YouTube, Pandora, I Heart Radio, and many many more. I hard wire the TV and have no issues with connectivity. Set up was a breeze after a 10 minutes update. I had to make minor adjusts to the picture and color to fit my needs with the room. I have the TV linked with my Yamaha receiver but I also purchase the Sony HTCT390 soundbar and wire subwoofer to go with the TV, because sometime I don't want to run the whole entertainment system. The stock TV speaker were not as crisp as the my old Sharp that's why I decided to get the Sony HTCT390. The Soundbar and Playstation 4 works well with the TV to turn it on or off. No more grabbing several remotes. The remote is voice activated for some functions like YouTube. I have not played around with what other voice activities it can do.

Picture is fabulous! No motion blur in sports (football, golf, soccer and baseball). 4K is excellent! Apps works perfectly! Once my Directv contract is up, hello Playstation Vue. That app is built in the TV too. I also downloaded the Sony app to my iPhone 7 and it works great too.

What I love about Best Buy is the price!!! I was able to exchange and the following day the TV went lower in price. Best Buy price matched it! AWESOME!!!!

I replaced my Linksys EA6500 AC router as it was dropping my 5 Ghz band frequently and the range was not as far as I was hoping. The WRT1900ACS has blown away the EA6500. My download speed has increased and also the range. My farthest room had double the download speed from what I was getting from the EA6500. The set up was a breeze as usually with Linksys. I typed in the 192.168.1.1 on my PC and started to customized the new router. It was very straight forward for novice and decent for tech savvy users. What I really appreciate is that when I signed on the Linksys App and used my sign on and password for my old EA6500 router, the App automatically figured that I upgrade to the WRT1900ACS. Setting up priorities and adding external storage was a snap. WPS button is on the left fairly close to the antenna when you are looking at the back of the unit. The WRT1900ACS is quick and it did not run hot as did my EA6500. Currently I have 15 devices hooked up to it. 5 are wireless and the rest are hardwired or powerline hardwired. This is a must buy!

It took me some time to get this printer hooked to my network with 2 CPU and 1 iMac. After reading TROUBLESHOOTING, you have to have your wireless for the CPU or iMac to read the 2.4 GHz signal rather than the 5.0 GHz. Once I did that, it was a snap. Also, if you have a wifi extender, you should take that offline before setting up the printer. After the initial headache, the printer is not too bad for only $25.

I had the Canon Image Class LBP6030w for over a year now. It was easy to set up everything wireless in my network. First, you have to go to the Canon website to download the latest driver for PC and/or Mac. After installing the drivers, my iMac found the printer and also my two PC. It prints pretty quickly considering it is for home use. It is a tad noisy but not as much as my HP Photoshop Inkject printer (that sounds like a Ford Mustang 5.0 HA HA HA. I wish it did). Print is clear, crisp and sharp. I like this Laser Printer because the replacement is all in one (no separate drum role).

If the fuzzies are around players that are on the digitally layed first down markers or any digitally laid image, they will be fuzzie. That's not the TV fault but the broadcast.

Look in the Setting for Apps or the click the Home key on the remote. Go to the list of built in apps and at the far right you should see "Offers for You" or something to that. Click into it with the remote and it will walk you through the process. My offer was for $120 which consist of 4 Sony 4K movies in the Ultra app.

Does it really make a difference? Are you looking at it from the side? IPS is basically a 178 degree viewing. If you are using it as a monitor when you are using a computer sitting in front of it, it does not make a difference.
