Nice Radio - Free 3 Months of SXM Was Deceptive

This radio sounds and looks good. It is very easy to use and it is nice that it comes with an SXM tuner, although the prices is about the same is if you were to buy one separately (and Best Buy still charges separate installation to install the SXM tuner). The Bluetooth works well. The display is a little bit limited compared to some other radios. For example, you cannot change the color and he display only shows the title, station, or artist, but not the clock.
The box and website advertised six months of free SXM with a subscription but did not mention that it had to be a paid subscription. It is 3 free months if you sign up to be billed for 3 months of the full access plan. So in reality the three free months will cost $75.
It is a nice unit but I prefer the Kenwood I bought for my other car about a year ago and had an SXM tuner installed. That radio has some more features and was about the same price as this when considering the cost of the tuner.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy to Use and Much Cheaper Than a Smart TV

What's great about it: Very Simple to Use
What's not so great: Not Compatible with Amazon Prime; Need to Adjust Sound
I purchased a so-called smart Blu-Ray player a while ago but it was not user very-friendly at all. The Chromecast is a much better device for anyone wishing to stream content wirelessly from their computer, tablet, or phone. The device is very simple to install. After you install it by connecting it to a HDMI port on your TV, you connect it to your devices. You can press the "Cast" icon in Google Chrome from a connected device and it will cast that browser from your pc, tablet, or phone to your TV. Supported apps are increasing almost daily. Redbox Instant, Hulu, and of course the Google-owned YouTube all have the cast icons. Just click it and select the tv to watch.
The only thing it has not worked well with is Amazon prime. Although you can watch a movie via the browser, it shows it as if it were just the web page on the TV. I also have a soundbar and need to figure out how to get the sound to come through that.
Overall, for $35, if you watch anything from the internet on a phone, pc, or tablet at home, Chromecast is worth the price.

replay of tv shows

Can I use this to watch a tv show that I missed which is being shown on my lap top?
Yes, as long as you or using the Chrome browser or you are watching the show on a support app such as Hulu, Crackle, etc.
