No muss, no fuss. Brought my DigiLand DL8006 in when it wouldn't turn on and they gave me a new one when they couldn't get it to even charge.

Insignia™ - 12' 4K Ultra HD HDMI Cable - White
Enjoy high-quality video on screens throughout your room with help from this 12-foot Insignia HDMI cable. The fully shielded cord holds up to daily wear and tear without sacrificing functionality.
Great cable for 4k/60 HDR and 4k/60 SDR
Customer Rating
5.0
I bought 4 of these as a "Deal of the Day", so I got a better price on them than you'd get from a certain internet retailer known for their inexpensive cables. At the regular price, I'd give them 4 stars because of markup.
Anyway, these perform well with my Apple TV 4K (HDR), my LG UP875 4K Blu-Ray player (HDR), my living room PC (HDR from a Radeon RX580), and my AirTV Player (SDR). Zero glitches with 4K/60 HDR, 4K/24 HDR, 4K/60 SDR, with every color mode I could throw at my TV.
Catch them on sale is my biggest recommendation; the regular price is a little high, even at 12 foot. Also, keep in mind these are thick cables that aren't as flexible as what you're probably used to; high-speed cables are either thicker or have specialized chips in them - sometimes both - to help with higher bandwidth signals, especially outside of the 6 foot range.

Usually, you buy the Insignia brand and expect a mediocre product, as shortcuts are taken and price is considered before quality. Not so with this Smart Speaker; Best Buy's contract manufacturer has figured out how to make it inexpensive and be a high-quality product. I have other Google Assistant speakers in my home and while they're good, this one is honestly better in many respects.
It was purchased under the guise of being an alarm clock and a Google Assistant speaker for the bedroom, with a focus more on the fact I picked up for a few bucks more than a regular alarm clock than anything else. So imagine my surprise when I connected my iPhone via Bluetooth and experienced excellent bass and treble response, especially for what I paid for the speaker. The sound quality isn't as good as a dedicated mid-range BT speaker or a high-end speaker with Google Assistant or Alexa in it, but it's actually a step up from two speakers I own that directly compete with this one.
Setup is super easy with these speakers, just like with any other Google Speaker. You'll need your iPhone or Android device with the Google Home app installed to get it going, Once set up and connected to WiFi, you'll be able to say "Hey Google" and have it do pretty much anything you want a smart speaker to do; the only thing 3rd party Assistant speakers don't do that the actual Google Home speakers do is make phone calls, but chances are you won't miss that feature.
Audio quality is good from pretty much any source. I tested with Bluetooth and Pandora, and both were crystal clear. You can also use Google Play Music, YouTube Music, Spotify, and Deezer (some services require a subscription). Chromecast Audio is also built in, so it can be a target for Chromecast Audio-compatible apps. It's only when you get to the upper limits of the device's volume level that you get audio distortion.
Other nice features are a display on the front of the unit that shows a clock, outdoor temperature, volume level, and even the outside temperature; USB port for charging your phone or other device at night; touch controls for those times when you can't say "Hey Google, mute the music"; and a pleasant, modern aesthetic to the device's design. It also has dual-band WiFi connectivity to connect to your network with.
If there's a drawback to this speaker, it's that it uses a wall wart instead of an internal power supply. That's not really even a con though, that's me nitpicking.
All in all, the Insignia Voice Smart Speaker is a terrific value for what it is. I'd recommend it over most of the major brands, unless you need a water-resistant speaker or want something that will give you a hi-fi experience, in which case there are other options. But for a speaker that will sit by your nightstand, in your kitchen, in your bathroom, or somewhere else that a small speaker that responds to your voice makes sense, this is perfect for the job.

I believe they only come in 60 watt equivalent. I haven't seen any other shape than the standard A-line lightbulb either.

a) Will this work with the Smart Life App? I dont have Alexa or similar b) Can this be programed to dim slownly, as a natural sunrise
A) Yes it can, but you'll only be able to control it at home since it's Bluetooth-connected and not WiFi-connected. Also, they only pair with the Google Home directly, not the Echo, so if you were to get a smart speaker in the future and want to control this with it, you'd be limited to Google Home devices.
B) you can set multiple timers to simulate this effect but these don't have a natural sunrise feature through the C app.

Will this lamps work in Europe? I want to buy this with Google assistant as a gift to my friend in Europe and not sure if it will work there.
While an E26-base bulb usually fits in an E27 fixture, these bulbs aren't meant for European power standards (220VAC).

Do this bulbs work with 220 V?
No, these are meant for 120 VAC wiring systems (though they'll likely be fine between 90 and 130 VAC).

Does this Alpine UTE-73BT work with satellite radio?
If you have an external satellite tuner like an XM Roady, yes. If you have a tuner that's part of your current audio system, then no, as the only thing it can support that would already be on a car is steering wheel audio controls.
