I got my Oculus on the Summer of Rift sale. It included a set of Oculus Touch controllers and an Eve: Valkyrie game all for $399.00. I absolutely love it. The only complaints I have with it are 1) you can not get the BestBuy extended warranty with it and 2) one of the headphones quit working a couple of weeks after I got it. The headphone problem turned out to be a loose connection where it is attached to the headband, just a simple tightening of a plastic screw with the included screwdriver and problem resolved. The warranty however is just something there is no control over. I don't fault Oculus on that, I do however feel disappointed in BestBuy to be selling a piece of computer equipment that costs this much and they refuse to offer any kind of protection other than the manufacturer warranty that makes me have to send it back to them and wait possible weeks to get it back or a replacement. I mean I can get a warranty from them on a $200 monitor, printer, hard drive, tablet, etc., but not on a $400 VR headset. Hopefully it doesn't break for a few years, because unlike some folks out there, my money doesn't grow on trees or fall from the heavens in prewrapped bundles ready to be spent.

I love this keyboard. It works fantastically with my LG 55" smart tv. It has really good range, the charge lasts a long time (still going on it's original out of the box charge so far), and the illumination feature is fantastic. It works the webos 3.0 on my tv perfectly (although a few of the add-on apps don't like to use the keyboard keys on the search features...netflix for one). I am extremely pleased with this purchase and would definitely buy it again.

All I can say is I love it love it love it. Excellent picture, good sound (although I use a surround sound system, I did try out the speakers too), easy to use nav and lots of features. Also so far my Logitech 830 wireless keyboard works flawlessly with this tv. It pulls up the Nav 3.0 and runs thru it like a charm using menu keys on the keyboard, the mouse works great too. My desktop computer, xbox, phone and tablet look amazing with the TV. Like I said I love it.

Man this is one fantastic keyboard. I love the motion sensor that senses your hands near the keyboard and turns the backlighting on or off. It certainly saves your charge. Also great that you have not only a usb charging cable, but an extra cable for longer length, too. Keyboard also has great wireless range and has worked flawlessly so far.

Great tablet, beautiful screen, fast processor, really good battery life so far. Unfortunately Samsung does not understand that most of us do not want their uninstallable bloatware (useless forced applications that are pre-installed). Would be nice if they pushed out a 5.01 or 5.02 update for the o/s, but 4.4.4 kitkat functions fine for now.

Worked for our new Samsung dishwasher like a champ. Everything needed for the install was included (well except for the cabinets and the labor lol). Definitely worth the purchase.

Works great and runs extremely quiet. You can't even hear it running at all most of the time, you can hear the water entering and flushing, but other than that this thing is more or less silent. Also, when it dries, there is a fan that blows gently at the vent which leaves a nice fresh smell like the detergent in the kitchen.

would i put my modem ,where the wire comes in the house

would the best spot for your modem be at the beginning ,where the wire comes in the house
You don't have to, you can place it wherever you like as long as you have it hooked to a working cable outlet in your house. Mine is about 60 ft from the main entry point of my cable system and I get the full 60mb/s speed with no hick-ups at all. But speeds vary according to your area and the condition of the equipment in your area. Anyway, you should not have any degradation to service as long as you have good wiring in your house and/or going to the modem.

Does it work with Att wireless

AT&T is DSL, this is a CABLE modem. There is nowhere to plug a phone line into this modem. Also, AT&T uses a proprietary modem if you have ATT U-Verse.

Does the unit have a switch to disable the wifi when not in use?

Yes. Login to the router as admin, click the wireless link on the blue bar at the top of the page. Click the dropdown beside Wireless (the first dropdown on the page) and select Disabled and then Click Apply.

Does this subport 2 phone line?

have 2 phone lines to my CHARTER tv moden plus a wi/fi routor, will this replace the routor, and still allow 2 phone lines, or would i still need the charter modem
You still need your charter modem, this modem only does your internet connection and your internal wireless for your home. It also has 4 ports for wired connections to your PCs. It doesn't have the port to setup the phone line.
