 Mohu - Leaf 50 Amplified Indoor HDTV Antenna with 60-Mile Range - Black/White
Mohu - Leaf 50 Amplified Indoor HDTV Antenna with 60-Mile Range - Black/White
Launched in 2011, this design established the trend of paper-thin TV antennas. Universally compatible with all HDTVs, the Mohu Leaf 50 offers the benefits and powerful performance of our notorious design coupled with the Jolt Switch USB in-line amplifier to reach a 60-mile range. Control TV signal amplification in real time with a simple ON/OFF switch. When it’s "on", TV signals are increased for clearer picture and sound, sometimes receiving channels beyond your antenna’s standard range. When it’s "off", amplification is bypassed while TV signals are still filtered from FM and cellular interference. When plugged into your TV’s USB port, the amplifier only draws power when the TV is on, saving energy, or use the included USB power adapter with any standard wall outlet. Perfect for suburban areas, compact living spaces, single-TV homes, dorm rooms, RVs…take this efficient antenna just about anywhere you go. Easy to set up and easy on the eyes. Multi-directional UHF and Hi-VHF elements receive TV signals from both sides, so you can show either side of the black or white reversible design or paint the Leaf antenna for a customized look. Note: The range of this antenna will vary greatly depending on the height, power, and frequency of signals coming from the TV tower, as well as the height of the antenna installation, the terrain, and obstacles between your home and the broadcast towers. Find your TV towers and channels by using our free Antenna Point app on your android or iOS device.

These have been tossed around the truck, the basement and worn in the yard while cutting grass and still have held up well. Battery life is great as I charge them maybe once a week with moderate daily use. The sound quality is good for earbuds...has good bass response and clear highs.

Well priced for the quality. Needed a long cable to go behind the wall and remain hidden. No issues after fishing it through the wall, having used electrical tape to attach it to a fiberglass fish stick.

Honestly, I expected more from Otter Box...this case is less than two months old and with moderate use, it’s already heavily scratched and looks horrible. My phone goes from my pocket to the nightstand, and rarely anywhere else. It does protect the phone, but i was hoping that the scuffs and scratches wouldn’t show up as badly. I will be replacing this case soon as I am not happy with the overall quality. For the money, I would think Otter Box could engineer a material that wouldn’t scratch so easily.

Don’t waste your money on an expensive mount...this one is perfect considering you’ll never see it. I have a 65” mounted to the wall and it does the same job as one three times the price. This one does not have tilt, but i didn’t need that function.

Overall I can’t complain as I got this on a Black Friday deal for $299.99. The picture quality is amazing for the price, however the user interface does lag some. I would rate it 4.5 stars if I could. Also, the memory for stored apps isn’t very large. Once you get to 4-5 apps it will reach its capacity. However, in the world of devices like Apple TV, The Fire Stick and smart gaming consoles, you really don’t need the built in user interface at all which is why I’m not bothered by it. I stopped using the internal “smart” functions and use Apple TV 4K. If you want to take this route, I would highly recommend this TV.

This is my first robot vacuum, and I have been pleased so far. I have a Corgi and he sheds weekly...this Shark has zero issue with the dog hair as it is always completely gone when it’s finished. I have hardwood floors and zero carpet. I have natural slate stone tile in the kitchen and it does well in there too. Terrain seems no match for it as it easily gets on and off of rugs and drops in floor transitions with ease. It’s not the most intelligent vac available, but once again for the price you can’t beat it. I named mine Forest Gump...if you own one, you’ll see why “I figured..since I had gone this far...I might as well just turn around and keep on going the other way” as it bounces it’s way around the house haha. My sister purchased brand “R” (we won’t speak of it)...and she really wishes she could have gotten the Shark Ion (they were sold out everywhere at the time). Her robot has one brush while this one has two, and the container on the Shark Ion is twice the size (maybe even larger) than her brand “R”..... she actually paid more. It’s also a lot more quiet than the other robots in its price range. Very satisfied!

this is the second one I bought since Christmas, first one stopped turning on and now my second one is doing it, it is crackling and never holds a charge, can't turn the blue tooth back on either, I am very disappointed,why does this keep happening??

Mine did the same thing after a month and I am still trying to get a claim processed through JBL. The whole process has been very discouraging. Good luck.....

The NETGEAR SOHO Ethernet Unmanaged Switches provide easy and affordable network connectivity to small offices and home/offices. With these Plug-and-Play switches, you can quickly and easily expand your network connections to multiple devices, with no configuration required.
 

The description says "Unmanaged". What is being managed or not in the various switches? Of the 4 I looked at, 2 say "unmanaged".

A managed switch allows you to configure things such as firewalls and choose specific paths for information to travel. An unmanaged switch does not provide these features. The term “switch” is exactly what it says, it flips the wiring structure around when the information passes through. If it didn’t do this, your Ethernet cables would have to be wired differently on both ends (a crossover cable) in order to communicate between devices.

Can I use this as a router can I connect it to my modem and use this as a router and connect wirelessly to my laptop ?

No, this is nothing more than a switch for networking wired devices. If you connect it to your modem, you can only plug in one wired device that will have internet access as it does not route Information. You will need a wireless router to accomplish this. A router allows you to take one IP address from your internet service provider and allow multiple devices to connect to it by routing to a newly established network. Without a router, only one device can connect to your modem if it does not have routing capabilities. The best way to know is to see if it has multiple Ethernet ports on it. There will be a WAN (wide area network) and a LAN (local area network). The WAN is your internet access and the LAN is your local devices. Hope this helps.

Do any of the ports support Power over Ethernet? I have a couple of PoE devices that I’d like to connect.

No, there is no PoE

Do you have to have a internet provider to use this

You can network devices together, but you will not have internet access unless you have a modem and an internet provider. It will work with a printer that has Ethernet capabilities or to connect multiple desktops together for shared networking.

LifeProof - SLAM Case for Apple® iPhone® X - Night flash
Protect your iPhone 8 Plus with this LifeProof SLAM phone case. It delivers the ultimate defense against damage during drops, and it has strategic cutouts that provide unfettered access to all ports and buttons. This LifeProof SLAM phone case has a screenless design, so there's nothing between you and your device.
 

Will the case fit on a stationary lightening cord in a holder? Or is it too thick? If anyone can picture what I'm asking.

It’s too thick to dock with my Bose Sound Dock, but a lightning extension cable did the trick.
