Won't Work w/ Gaming Systems -Work Great Otherwise
on November 22, 2019
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
This device works great, if you need to stream content from a laptop or a smartphone/tablet, and I have had some good use out of it for meetings and planning sessions.
HOWEVER, I was also excited to connect my gaming systems up to this so I could easily switch between my TV and my projector, but sadly, it doesn't work for gaming consoles. PCs and smartphones.tablets only.

Great...If You Have Landline
on November 10, 2019
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
My parents are some of the only people I know who still have a landline. This Motorola Alexa phone is great for them. My Mom loves new technology, while my Dad is resistant to it. This phone was a great compromise. It gives my Mom some new technology to utilize, while my Dad doesn't feel overwhelmed using the phone as normal. They are both happy with the phone.
*Note that you need a landline for full utilization.

Easy to Set Up and Use
on October 30, 2019
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
I have recently gotten in to PC gaming again, but so many gaming mice are wired, and since I'm no professional, I was looking for a wireless solution to keep my desk neat.
This mouse works great. It seems to have great accuracy, and feels great in my hands.
I'm not a huge fan of the logo, but my nephew thinks it is awesome.

A Great Sous Vide Experience
on October 30, 2019
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
Until the Anova sous vide machine, I had only ever seen one of these devices used. Having made chicken a few times with it, I'm in love. I actually still finish the chicken on the grill, and it comes out PERFECT!
This device is easy to use and maintain, so get started with sous vide today and start making your cooking easier.

Super Quiet and a Great Feel
on October 14, 2019
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Logitech MK470 Wireless Keyboard/Mouse combo is great. I love the sleek, minimalist design, while still having a number pad.
Additionally, I did not realize how load my previous keyboard was, bu this keyboard is QUIET!
The last element I am excited about is the battery life. The mouse is supposed to last for 36 months, and the keyboard for 18 months.

Quick, Easy Setup
on October 12, 2019
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
I love this projector. My original plan was to use it in the garage for working out, and to use it in the back yard for parties, but I am so impressed with it, I may put a screen up in the living room as well.
The setup was quick and easy, the picture looks amazing, even without a screen, and it switches inputs quickly and easily.
I couldn't be happier!

So Easy

The Arlo-Pro 3 security system is great. Just like previous Arlo security camera offerings, the setup couldn't be easier. No wire or other messy installation hassles.
The 2k quality on the Arlo-Pro 3's is a welcome addition. For anyone who is spending the money on a security camera system, quality is a must!

Awesome Kettle Bell!
on October 5, 2019
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
This Kettle Bell system is great. My only complaint is that I wish the screen could have an always-on mode so that I could always see what weight the kettle bell was set to.
Other than that, this is an excellent, space-saving, workout solution. With a kettle bell, and a good workout regimen, a kettle bell and your body are all you need to stay in great shape!

Couldn't Be Easier to Use
on September 29, 2019
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Platinum USB-C Multi-port Hub is awesome. It works seamlessly, and is truly "plug-and-play."
The only word of caution I have is that this likely won't work with ANY devices other than the Macbook Pro 13 and 16 inch versions. This is due to the side-by-side USB-C ports, which would get in the way of being able to plug this in to any devices without dual USB-C ports.
Other than that, this hub does exactly what it is supposed to: it makes returning to your home or main desk a smooth transition.

Amazingly Simple
on September 22, 2019
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
I was floored with the combination of reasonable price and value with the Upright Go 2 trainer. I am on my third day of use, and I'm expecting good results. I was most worried that it would be uncomfortable, but I barely notice it. Do keep in mind that you wouldn't sleep with this on. I made that mistake my first night, and woke myself up when I rolled on to my back.
The Upright Go 2 is meant to have a 30 hour battery life, but seems to have plenty of time if you charge it every night, and put it on after you wake up and shower.
Overall, this is a great tool, especially for those looking for better health, or for those who want to have a more professional appearance.

The description for this product is incorrect and sparse at best. Please update.

Cut The Cord with AirTV Player. Stream movies, TV, music and other content using a wide range of apps, including Netflix, SlingTV, Google Play and many more from the Google Play Store all with AirTV Player. AirTV’s streaming platform integrates local over-the-air (OTA) programming with your streaming services. The AirTV Adapter and an OTA antenna provide local channels like ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX, without a monthly cable bill.
I’m confused. How/ where does it get ota channels? Is there an antenna that comes with it? Similar to the digital antenna I use now for local channels? Or does it get the local ota channels and stream to device via the internet?
It actually has a coaxial cable plug-in so that you can use any OTA antenna with it.You should be able to use the digital antenna you mentioned in your question. That said, you can get a new, Smart 4k TV for around $300-$450, so I would go that route unless you are on an extremely tight budget. 4k, plus Roku is a much better option in my opinion. If nothing else, Roku isn't going anywhere.

does it support AT&T Digital life and its Nest devices and thermostats that are attached to the system ?
It supports Nest devices, but you would have to contact AT&T about future integration, but currently it isn't supported.

Can this be used if the phone the main account is tied to is not at home? IE: Could my wife ask it to play music from Google Play if I'm not there? I'm not asking about family accounts but if this will remember my account if my phone isn't around?
Yes, Google Home will work regardless of if the primary account holder is around. Great question!
