If you like Pink Floyd, then you must like David Gilmour. This is a great concert providing some Floyd and some of his On an Island music, which is just awesome. Can't go wrong with this one. I wish I could find more like this. Not sure if the neighborhs like it as I have a tendency to really crank it up.

What I like about Roku is it keeps things neutral. You are not locked into the Apple or Amazon ecosystem and keeps options available. Support the independent to ensure future options. As for picture, quality, it is as good as it can be for a streaming device. Lets face it, none of them can compare to physical media, but the Roku does as good as anyone can. I have 3 of them I like them so much. But when it comes to 4K, I prefer blu-ray 4K disks.

It has been a shaky separation from Intuit with a good amount of bugs over the last couple years, but things have finally stabilized. You can post all the concerns you want on their website, but never get any type of status from the company. I hate any subscription software and that will be the end of this software for me. But if I continue to find good deals like I have in the last 3 years I might remain a customer. If not I will eventually leave. To bad as I have alway enjoyed this product.

This was my first purchase of a computer running an AMD processor and it is a solid performer. My last machine was an i7, 16 GIG of ram and Samsung SSD and I could feel the difference when I started using this one, it was just some slight delays when launching apps, changing apps and the like, but for the $500 savings over the Intel machines I was looking at, well this one you just can't go wrong with.

I have to be honest as I am not using these. I bought them for my Grandson, but it turned out it is one of the best things I have ever done. He simply loves them and I don't think he took them off for the first week at all. From his feedback sound is awesome and the controls are fantastic. They appear to have been a great decision to buy.

It does a good job charging the iPhone XR. Only thing I can say is make sure you use it on a level surface. I find the phone walks off the charger if it is not level.

 NETGEAR - Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender with Ethernet port
NETGEAR - Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender with Ethernet port
NETGEAR Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender: Broaden your network connection with a range extender that gives you extra Wi-Fi coverage in your home. Smart LED indicators will direct you to the optimal location to plug the extender into the wall, so you can easily enjoy improved range and speed on your mobile and wired devices. Save on data usage by connecting your smartphone or tablet to your home network.
 

My internet box is downstairs I have 3 bedrooms upstairs where the internet service is like non existance. . If I put this upstairs will it work?

In my opinion you never know until you try. But I will be surprised if it works any better. As an extender it uses WiFi to talk to your router. This will not magically get a better WiFi signal than your devices get so I am fairly sure service will remain spotty. This device can also be setup as an access point in which case if you have an ethernet cable run from your router to the upstairs, you plug that cable into this device and that would give you better coverage upstairs since the cable provides the connection to your internet. If running a cable is not practical for you, I would give a power line network extender a try. I have never used one, but I hear they are fairly good providing you have a good electrical system in the house. With this type of device it uses your household electrical wiring to send your data between two devices. One will be upstairs and the other down by your router. Best buy has a NETGEAR - Powerline AC1200 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (2-pack) - White that is highly rated. But I don't think this provides a WiFi signal so you would still need a WiFi device to send that signal out. You could use this and the Extender you are asking about, cable the two together and be all set.

Klipsch - Synergy Series 2-Way Indoor/Outdoor Speakers (Pair) - White
Buy this pair of weather-resistant, high-quality speakers and enjoy music on your patio, in your garden or by your pool.
 

How many watts are the speakers and is there any other outdoor speakers that are more powerful but the same brand?

Recommended wattage is 75 watts with a peak power handling of 150 watts. The Klipsch AW-650 is rated at 85 watts with 340 watt peak. I am sure there are more powerful speakers out there since the world of speakers is quite large. I just have always liked my Klipsch.

if I buy the digital down load will I still have to pay a fee to use the program every year? if you do how much is it too renew? I have a older version now that I don't have to pay anything for.

They charge the same price you would pay to get the first year. So far I have been able to work around that by finding a 2 year subscription in 2018 for the price of 1, and this year managed to purchase it from Best Buy for $23 for Deluxe so basicaly half price again. But yes, you have to renew every year.

What exactly does the subscription cover? Do I have to purchase a new download every year or is it for a yearly subscription service to continue downloads from my bank accounts? I have not enabled that option in the Quicken program I have used for years.

It is a subscription for the software. I don't know what would happen if you let that lapse. I would think you could continue to use it since you don't download your banking data.

Can this remote control the Xfinity X1 box/dvr AND AppleTV 4k? I HATE the Apple Siri remote and am looking for an "all in one" alternative for AppleTv and my Xfinity X1 service.

All I can tell you is all 4 generations of Apple TV are available as a device in the remote setup so I don't see why it would not work.
