 The Chronicles of Narnia [3 Discs] [DVD]
The Chronicles of Narnia [3 Discs] [DVD]
Years before the first big-screen adaptations of C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia reached audiences, the BBC produced its own versions of the first four books in the series (The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and The Silver Chair), all of which appear in this unique collection, as they originally aired on British television. The telemovies, like the novels on which they are based, relay the adventures of a number of different British children in the universe of Narnia - a land that has initially fallen under the spell of the evil White Witch, but that experiences redemption via the presence of the lion Aslan. The cast includes Camila Power, Warwick Davis, Tom Baker, Sophie Wilcox, Sophie Cook and Jonathan R. Scott.

Great USB plug and charger. LED on the plug lets you know if it is actually sensing power or if your outlet is dead. Great product.

If you travel or are on the go, you definitely need a portable power pack. As a sales professional, I am constantly on the go and cannot always get to a outlet to charge my phone, which I need for business. This allows me to run the day and more easily whether I am at dinner, at a convention centre, or camping in the woods. The phone is a reliable device thanks to the power supplied by this power pack. Just remember to keep this at home when visiting some foreign countries because large battery packs are prohibited on some flights.

Is this cable unidirectional?

This cable is marketed as 'micro HDMI to HDMI' suggesting directionality.
I've done some testing and found that when connected from a micro HDMI input source to an HDMI output it works. But it will not pass any signals when going from a HDMI source to a micro HDMI output. Tested in-store and at home.

I've never heard of a unidirectional HDMI cable but that is how it behaves.

Is this design or a dud?
I've never heard of a uni-directional cable. It's more likely to do with the devices you are using. Are you sure that your device can output from the HDMI, and your other device can receive an input through the micro-HDMI?
