Rechargeable D Batteries... YES!
on January 27, 2017
Posted by: TheNiteOwl
Verified Purchase:Yes
For some reason rechargeable D batteries are really hard to find. I've been looking for these everywhere and Best Buy is now caring them. I'm going to use them in a Coleman lantern for camping. The ability to recharge these is great as I have a Solar battery charger, and this will allow me to have endless amount of light, as long as it's not cloudy!

Great cable!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this thing so I could hook up my son's Wii to the component input, so he could get better resolution, and it works great! I also got it for a good price! These things are getting harder to come by and this will be a good cable to have around in case I get in any other older consoles.

When building on a budget, the EVGA 600W 80 PLUS is a great choice at a low cost. Supporting 49A on a single +12V rail provides more options without having to reduce your component requirements. Save space with the 600W's compact design, well­placed power switch and fully sleeved cables. The 600W offers the connections and protections needed for basic system builds. With a standard 3 year warranty and ultra quiet fan design the 600W will be a great asset for your next build on a budget.

Quality Power Supply
on January 27, 2017
Posted by: TheNiteOwl
Verified Purchase:Yes
What can I say it's a power supply? It does it's job! The fan is fairly quiet and I like that all the cables are sleeved, making it have a nice clean look in your rig. I haven't had any issues with it. I bought one of these so it could power a Radeon RX 480. I would highly recommend!

Nice Solid Case
on January 27, 2017
Posted by: TheNiteOwl
Verified Purchase:Yes
This case is great, it's nice and solid! It has a good tight grip on the tablet, and keeps it well protected. It's also slim, so it doesn't take up a lot of room when you travel. It's also nice to be able to prop it so you can stream something without having to hold it.

Defective? No FM transmitting!
on January 27, 2017
Posted by: TheNiteOwl
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this hoping I could hook it up to my radio, and I could never get it to pick up the frequency. I tried all 4 frequencies on the FM transmitter and nothing. I've had other devices that I used and it was able to broadcast to the radio just fine on those. It was able to connect to my phone, but nothing was ever heard through the speakers. So either the one I got was defective, or this product does not work.

Listen to favorite music and take calls hands-free with this Scosche FM transmitter. The remote lets you switch songs and control volume from a distance, and the auxiliary input and included cable support non-Bluetooth devices. Use a USB cable to charge your phone through this Bluetooth Scosche FM transmitter's USB port.

Works but volume is REAL low
on January 27, 2017
Posted by: TheNiteOwl
Verified Purchase:Yes
First of all, I love the the lay out of this thing. It mounted great right where I needed it, and blasts a clear FM single. Here's the problem, the volume is soooo low. I would have to practically turn my radio all the way up to hear anything, and that's having the FM transmitter at max volume! Then once I was done with a conversation or listening to music switching over to another channel, it will be blasting my ears out if I forgot to turn down the volume. If they came out with another version of this that had louder volume, I'd be all over it. For me this just didn't work.

Good Concept/Bad Implementation
on January 27, 2017
Posted by: TheNiteOwl
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought one of these thinking, hey, I can turn my older radio into a hands free Bluetooth radio, awesome! WRONG! First of all, this thing is impractical, what they don't tell you on the box, or make it clear, is that you have to charge this thing every time you use it. Unfortunately, you can't charge the device while it is loaded into the tape deck, the USB cable prevents it from loading in the deck, and it takes forever to charge. In addition the battery only last 5 hours. Meaning you're going to be charging this almost every other day, popping it out, disconnecting cables, etc. Secondly, my phone had a hard time connecting with the device, once the battery drained, it's like the settings change, and you have to retrain it all over again. Lastly, in addition to popping this thing out to charge it, you have to press the button on the tape to turn it on and off. Meaning you have to do this EVERY TIME you stop somewhere, or get out of the car, otherwise the battery continues to drain. In any case, like I said it's a nice concept (modernize your radio), but it's just not practical and cumbersome to deal with.

Cool looking stylus pens that you can add to your collection! You can't put them in the 3DS slot, which is one complaint I have. However, they are just for fun and looks!

Great value!

For the price this carrying case is a great buy! It's stylish, and for $20 you get a good quality case, with plenty of room to put your games, and accessories. It comes with a car charger, headphones, and an additional stylus. The only one complaint I could have is I wish there was a spot to plug in the 3DS to charge, without having to remove it from the case. Other than that, you can't go wrong with it.

Fire TV Makes Streaming Easy
on October 24, 2016
Posted by: TheNiteOwl
Verified Purchase:Yes
What's great about the Fire TV is it's great interface, and frankly it's affordability. If you want 4K streaming, a fast fluid interface, then this is what you want! The nVidia Shield is great, and yeah it's powerful... and plays games, but for the price, and if you just want to stream it's not worth it. The selection of Android games is so limited, don't waste your money! I've also been turned off by the Roku interface, it seems too kiddish, and just not as intuitive. I am using these Fire TV devices through out the house to stream Live TV, and my movie collection through an app called Emby. It's a fantastic experience for the whole family and saves me a bundle on rental fees from the cable company, and electricity due to it's low power consumption. If you want just want to stream, and play your home movie collection this is what you want!

I have a HD HomeRun with CableCard Receiver that transmits the TV signal through my home network to any of the PCs with Windows Media Center or compatible Set Top Boxes. Would this box work with the HD HomeRun the same way or at all?

You want to get an app called Emby, and you will be able to accomplish just what you are asking. Emby is an all encompassing app, just like Windows Media Center that will stream Live TV to all your devices. Check them out http://emby.media.
