This movie was actually pretty scary and had some scenes that made you want to turn your head but I don’t want to give away any spoilers.

Take on new challenges with the old Kong crew when you play Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze for Nintendo Switch. Donkey, Diddy, Dixie and Cranky team up for more jumps and rolls, while Funky Kong climbs onto his trusty surfboard to show off his best moves. Rated E for everyone, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is an ideal option for family game night.

This game is fantastic! Brings me back to my old school SNES days when I played Donkey Kong Country. The levels, colors, music, controls - Nintendo did it again. New play mechanics have been added and it seems more challenging than ever. I am playing it on an LG OLED and the graphics are awesome.

I replaced my aging proprietary Bose system with a new receiver and paired it with some new speakers and this Definitive ProSub 1000. When my wife comes home, she knows I watched a movie because the pictures on the wall are tilted over. The sub is filling infinite space in a large family room. The best feature is the dial on the side that can be used to adjust the sub if you want more punch during a movie/music, or turn it down at night while people are sleeping. Instead of having to fumble through EQ settings though your receiver.

This is hands down my favorite movie. I love everything about it: The acting, cinematography, epic battle scenes, characters, soundtrack etc. and this new 4K release takes everything I love about the film to a whole new level. The Scotland landscapes are so detailed and the surround sound is better than ever.

Great tv but one problem. When I connected my cable box it would NOT pick up the local channels so I now have NO local channels. It is connected through the "antenna" input as the box does not have and HDMI port. How do I get my regular cable channels?

It might be either or but in the setting there is an option to search for the local channels and but since you have your cable box plugged into your antenna port, that could be the reason it’s not able to search for the local channels. I would recommend connecting via HDMI to get the most out of the picture and the TV if possible.

Do I need to turn off the power switch on the sub after use ? The red led light never goes off otherwise.

No, it’s a powered subwoofer with an automatic power-off feature. When the receiver it is not pushing power to it and the receiver is powered off, the Sub goes into a “standby” mode. When the receiver turns back on, it sends a power signal back to the Sub and also turns the Sub back on as well. Sometimes it takes a few seconds for the Sub to come back on from the “standby” mode, depending on how powerful your receiver is. I always leave mine on.
