Unhappy with purchase

The whole gimmick of recording antenna TV programs is a come-on. You cannot even get the channel guide without a "paid subscription" and if you want to record a program on the DVR you cannot play it back unless you "purchase a subscription package" The whole point of saving money is a complete misnomer when you have to pay for the box and then pay to be able to use it. For a few $$ more go for a basic direct TV package and get extra channels and a free DVR and play on demand.

Good monitor for the price

I wasn't sure if I would like the glossy screen after using the matte screen for so long but it's fine with good color and detail. I would have rated 5 stars except for 2 things; it has started to go blank every little while plus the base is big, boxy and awkward.

Best Price Found For Latest Version

I am a photo enthusiast and therefore always looking for new tricks and tweaks for editing. While elements is not the full featured Photoshop it has plenty of useful functions for the budget minded. If you are a professional photographer or just have lots extra cash lying around go ahead and spend the $500-$700 for Photoshop but for the average person this was a great deal at under$60 and cheapest I have seen this year so far.

No "Duds" so far

Usually you will find a few discs that won't burn especially on the less expensive brands but so far I haven't had any that won't burn or play.
Bought them while on sale and no complaints so far.
I do wish the light-scribe discs would make a come back as I miss being able to add my personal touch to the disc.

Store your important CDs in these slim, colorful cases for easy organization and protection.

Verified Purchase:Yes
These are slightly thinner than the more expensive CD cases so on the positive side you can fit an extra one in on the shelf and on the negative the hinged side does break easier. Worth the price paid for them.

Keep your equipment safe while on the go with this Lowepro Urban Reporter 150 LP36616 messenger bag, which features a padded, removable camera insert for flexible storage and a padded compartment to house a laptop.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed a larger camera bag to accommodate extra lenses filters etc. as I was carrying around 2 bags at times and this appeared to be large enough to do the job. There were "no" reviews available when I checked and the description could have been better. For a bag this caliber I was expecting quick releases on the main closures and velcro for side pockets however this bag has snaps which are both difficult to open and even more difficult to close especially with my arthritis. It was on sale when I bought it and larger than my previous bag so it is functional. Would I buy it again? Probably not.

Lots of CGI in this film (obviously) but it was done in such a way that the majority of it felt "real". I watched it first in the 3D version which was far more impressive than the 2D bluray version. Over all if you like movies in the "fantastical" you will enjoy this one.

Not compatible with all PC's

Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased as a gift for my cousin who had just bought an all-in-one pc. The wireless function was a no-go as we could not install the print drivers onto her pc. I thought perhaps it could be set up with using a USB as a plug and play device. There was "no" port on the printer to hook up a direct cable connection. I was going to return it but came down with the flu that same evening and ended up going beyond the time allowed for returns. I ended up giving it to my brother and he uses it to print out receipts from his I-Pad for his repair business. So far it works fine. Not an expensive printer so expectations weren't that high to begin with.

Bought the youth small for a toddler and after washing it barely fit. Beware of the sizing issues and order accordingly. Luckily I read the reviews prior to purchasing.

These run very small to begin with and shrink. I bought extra large and after washing they are more like a small. Good colors and design cotton is a decent weight. Beware of the inaccurate sizing and shrinkage but otherwise a decent t-shirt

Will it work with mobile data instead of internet?
I do not have access to internet where I live, but I have an unlimited data plan on my phone (android). I also do not have mobile hotspot. However, I have a modem and a wifi router (again no internet). Will chromcast work for me? I will I be able to watch netflix or youtube on my phone, and mirror it to my TV?
4G seems to work whereas 3G not so much keeps buffering

Works with Amazon Prime?
Wondering if this apply's for Amazon Prime movies and more?
And I assume Chromecast only works with places your paying monthly subscriptions for example like the Hulu and Netflix ?

yes if using my laptop I can access both Netflix and Amazon Prime, my phone has issues related to data transfer and keeps buffering so I don't use it with a phone. My son however has Verizon 4G and it works fine with his phone.

does it come in a original cromecast package? or just in a shipping bag like used?
The chromecast USB comes in a box with cable and adapter, the only difference between it and new is the "refurbished" stickers on it.

Easily connect your projector, monitor or HDTV to other peripherals with this VGA cable that features 24K gold contacts for maximum signal transfer and corrosion resistance.
i want to connect a laptop to a sony smart tv that has net flix installed
Netflix allows you to register several devices to watch on, TV, laptop, Bluray players and even phones so if you want to watch on your laptop simply go to www.netflix.com and log on to your account using the same username, email and password. Hope this helps

I would like to purchase the Kenwood Kmix but it appears to have a weak motor 500w. Should I consider buying a different, stronger model?
500 watts should be plenty of power for general mixing as long as the motor has overload protection to prevent overheating during heavy mixing. If you intend to be using it for heavy cookie doughs or breadmaking I would go with no less than 550 and preferably 575. You do want to make sure it has overload protection in any case especially since it is an expensive mixer. I am not familiar with the Kmix but for the serious baker I would recommend you research Kitchenaid brand mixers in the US. I would buy a Kenwood sound system based on reputation over the years but kitchen appliances???? Not so much! If you are in the UK however you likely don't have that option. They seem comparably priced so one would likely conclude they are of similar quality construction. Hope this helps
