just hooked up my tv to receiver and it works .. and cranked it up watching Ford v Ferrari 4k .. . it was roaring and thunderous .. but my sony bluray player and panasonic 4k player donna use this type connector .. which it shoulda ..
these cables for $6 is lot more reasonable in price, , than some ridiculous prices for some hdmi cables ...
using this for first time, , i realize when plugging this in ,, it make a click too ,, so on my tv i had to use lots of pressure to stick it in and seat it ..

Entertain yourself and go back in time for a couple hours ,, the characters will tell a great story and learn about Ken Miles .. ha and this movie shows and demostrates another great example of how upper management screws things up ...and get big pay .. just like when I was working in the corporate wold ..
and the 2nd story tale,, is you need a driver that knows how to drive and a driver that know the mech-a-nics ,, who has the knowledge, background and physics of making a fast race car and win .. just like some people i grew up with who are mechanics and know how to win .. ohoh and tell those who do the work , on what is wrong or needs upgrade or fixing .. not just be the driver ..
i just watch this my 2nd time and 1st time with my sound system ,, so crank it up and it was thunderous .. super details with the 4k ,,

my old old old geo foreman was losing its nonstick ,, and of course guess where all the nonstick was going ,, ha sticking on my burgers and into my tummy ...
so it was time to get a new ,, so bb sale of the day again ,,, makes me upgrade to this for $10 ,, but i also had $10 of bb rewards ,,
so i made my first frozen burger as you see in my photo .. and it donna stick neither to my meat ... this is little bigger than my good ole geo coooker that i been using for over a decade .. and expect this to last just as long .. i may make the legs longer so i can put a bigger grease tray under it ..
the only down side to this ,, is cleaning ,, that you canna take the plates off to clean .. but ha ,, you canna beat the price for it ..
and for you people throwing that delicious grease away ,, you can put put it outside and just smear it on a branch or something ,, as the birds and critters in the yard will enjoy it too and fatten them up for a cold winter too ..

i sort of stop buying movies ,, but i broke rank and got this ,, because it is a 4k , and since bestbuy made me buy a 4k tv , by putting one on sale for 150 bucks ,, i then got this movie ..
, so i now had to see now how good 4k is ,, i had a feeling that there were cgi ,, lot of cgi in this movie and of course it was profuse .. essentially in the war actions .. and i wanted to see how good it did the flying .. to be believable . but of course to see how good it was to being a true story... As of now i 've only watch it once without hooking it up to my stereo ,, ,
so i enjoyed being entertained for a couple of hours .. next time will hoook up the stereo to see how good the sound is ,,, as i read 4k movies reviews that there is a big difference ... i bet if i would have my blueray setup and the 4k setup playing at the same time side by side ,, i would see a difference in picture quality .. but since i only watch one or the other ,, i bet you can't tell or would never notice any difference .. so for now i just have new toys to play with ,, and i am not a fanatic on details ,, but do enjoy being taken to another time or place and forget i had a current life .. and this movie did that ..
as for quality of a 4k movie ,, i posted a picture taken with my camera and was impressed by the sharpness and quality ,, typically i see blocks or sections of the image in the pictures iwth a tv ,,, but i was really happy to see a nice sharp detailed image ,, i donna know if it is the 4k tv or the 4k movie that made it like that .. but it did give more satisfaction now that i upgraded to a 4k system now .. my next posting review will be for another different 4k movie ,,, where i will watch with my sound system too ..
if you want a review of this whole movie ,, read all the other reviews posted here ...

The advertisement claims the complete accessories, but the actual package is missing a couple accessories, blade oil and cleaning brush. I returned it and got another one from a local BestBuy and same issue. Why the package is not as advertised?
the one i purchased ,, all the accessories were in a sealed clear plastic bag ,, if you get a box with all loose accessories not in a sealed bag ,, i guess you now know what ..

Connect up to 4 devices to the coaxial connection from your cable or indoor/outdoor VHF/UHF/FM antenna with this mini drop amplifier. It works with the DC power provided by components, or with the AC power provided by the included adapter.
I have 4 TV's wired for cable & trying to switch to antenna. Purchased RF-G1179 splitter. Installed antenna & plugged antenna cable into INPUT, & connected power. When I disconnect first TV cable wire & plug into output can't scan any channels no signal??
it looks like you are doing a first time ota tv antenna , either indoor or outdoor ,, you may need to point your antenna to transmitting tower .. and get a signal ,, if weak , then the amp will boost the signals .. if you have no signal the amp will do nothing ..

Aspherical lens elements ensure less distortion in the corners of the image without affecting the centers, and a continuous f/2.8 aperture means this lens is fast. Rapid autofocus ensures this full-frame Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 lens quickly locks onto your subject.
Would like to use this lens to photograph the Grand Canyon. I am an amateur photographer with an EOS Rebel SL1. Would I be able to use this lens with this camera & have it on auto focus? Thank you for your time.
if your question is real ,, my personal = no ,, for many reasons ...you would not understand based on your experience level ..
if you can spend $2k lens with $400 camera ,, i would recommend getting a bridge camera like a nikon p1000 or p500 series ..
and have way more of a camera setup for your experience level to use and save you at least $1000 ...
if you just a lens recommendation , i see bestbuy has the Sigma 8-16mm as a better match for you level and camera ,, to just answer your question which is for the wide angle view and auto ..and save you about $1300 .. .

Insignia™ - 9' Extension Power Cord
Charge small appliances with this Insignia extension cord. Its 9-foot length lets you run the lightweight cable around the room for versatile placement, and the three grounded outlets provide extra charging points. This 16-gauge Insignia extension cord has a PVC coating for long-lasting use, and the easy-grip plug is quick to remove.
wall outlet is a two prong is there any extension cords that will fit in two prong but be able to plug a grounded cord from a tv lets say
you are better off just changing the old wall 2 prong outlet ,, home depot -lowes or hardware store sells 3 prongs ,, swap out your old and connect the ground ,, and you are not just better off but safer too
