Finally, a sequel...

Verified Purchase:Yes
An outstanding follow-up that accounts for what happened during the intervening thirty years since the original. The very well done special features included on the Blu-ray disc help the forgetful catch up. No Vangelis music, but Ridley Scott was a technical advisor to help maintain continuity in the story.

The original, and still great...

Verified Purchase:Yes
With its dystopian setting, Ridley Scott's direction, music by Vangelis, acting by Harrison Ford, Sean Young, Edward James Olmos, Daryl Hannah, Joanna Cassidy, and especially Rutger Hauer - one might almost forget it has a good story, too. One of my all-time favorite movies, and really should be the 'final cut' of this classic.

Second of a franchise...

As many others, I liked the first movie better - and somehow, I don't think they'll be able to bring Merlin (Mark Strong) back... That said, it's entertaining, and I'm curious if the studio will try for a third.

Secure your Samsung Galaxy S8 in this OtterBox Defender case. The rugged outer slipcover and inner shell guards against drops, bumps and scratches. Clip this OtterBox Defender case to a bag strap or belt when you're on the move, or use the kickstand to position your device for viewing.

Otter Box cases are among the best on the market, and this one is true to form. Build quality, fit, and finish are top-notch. However, I prefer to carry my phone in my top shirt pocket, and this case is a little too bulky for that.

Solid as a rock, flawless performance - I bought this one to pair with another 850 EVO in a RAID 1 array so my system's storage will be all SSD (M.2 boot drive). No, they aren't quite as fast as the 850 PRO, but the slight difference in performance more than offsets the large difference in price!

A great minimalist case for the S8.

I've used the Tech21 - Evo Tactical Case for my Galaxy S6, S7, and now my S8. It provides plenty of protection for the way I use my phone, and doesn't add a lot of extra size and bulk. My only qualm with the S8 version is in how well it will protect the curved screen - but I've had no problems yet.

For all of us who questioned 'how did they get the plans for the Death Star in the first Star Wars, anyway?' here's episode 3.5 - 'Rogue One', filmed in the tradition of the original three movies. Very pleasant fill-in prequel that we've been waiting for - for only forty years! Very entertaining, and revisits the Lucas style of the series - I loved it!

Will this fit (work) in my Dell Inspiron 17 7000 series laptop? If not can you recommend a 1TB solid state drive that will? Thanks John C

This drive should fit in any system with a standard 2.5-inch SATA-3 HDD bay - since it's only 7mm high, you shouldn't have a problem.

Command your home entertainment system with this Logitech Harmony 700 915-000267 universal remote, which connects with up to 8 devices for simple control. Quick online setup and bright, backlit buttons ensure easy and intuitive use.
 

I wonder if this would control a streaming box? I have a Minix U1 stream box. The "Other Brand" universal remote could not find it's code.

Well according to Logitech Harmony Support [https://support.myharmony.com/en-us/adding-a-device-thats-not-found-in-the-harmony-database]:

"The Harmony database is stored with over 225,000 devices and is growing each day. However, it may be possible that one of your devices is not yet known. If you have confirmed that the manufacturer and model number you entered is correct, then you may still teach this device to Harmony so that you can control it."

So, if you still have the remote that came with your Minix U1, the Logitech remote can be 'trained' by the Minix remote (assuming it uses IR to control the Minix U1), if the Minix device isn't in the Logitech database. Hope this helps.

Stream media, play games online, download files, and do it all at once on multiple devices. This ASUS router will keep everyone in the house connected without interruption. Plus, you can control your home network from anywhere with the ASUS router app.
 

What is the best modem to work with this router and Time warner cable?

Since TWC is becoming part of the Spectrum network, I think your best bet at this time is the Motorola/Arris SB6183 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem, which is exactly what I'm using now.

The SURFboard SB8163 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem features 16 downstream x 4 upstream channels for high-speed internet access. It is compatible with major US Cable Internet providers and is best for cable internet speed plans up to 400 Mbps.
 

Will this Modem work with Time Warner, want to eliminate the $10.00 monthy rental charge?

As long as the cable service in your area meets Docsis 2.0 standards or above, it should work fine.

Usually, sale prices on items run from 00:00 on Sundays until 23:59:59 the following Saturday. If your purchase isn't completed by the cutoff, the price reverts to the pre-sale price - even if the item is in your cart but not purchased.
If you're still interested in the HP 8620, it's back on sale now - at the current sale price, it's a great deal - I have one, and I love it!

Control up to 8 devices using this Logitech Harmony 650 915-000159 universal remote that is compatible with more than 225,000 devices across more than 5,000 brands for wide-ranging use. One-touch activity buttons simplify option selection.
 

Why do they say Computer OpSys as Sys Requirement

Trying to figure out why a remote I want to use on my TV needs to be compatible with Windows, or MacOS ????

Also is it backlit, and compatible with Samsung LED Smart TVs?

I use my Samsung LED only in the bedroom and I hate the remote it comes with, and cannot find correct buttons in the semi dark. Does it have SmartHub button etc, and can you actually see the buttons, with a back light?

Thanks
The computer OS compatibility is important because before you can use the remote it has to be programmed over the Internet by the servers at Logitech to handle your specific set of devices. The programming requires that the remote be connected to your PC via a USB cable to receive the programming. Yes, the keys on the 650 are backlit (just looked at mine...). For specific device compatibility, you may have to check the Logitech web site. Hope this helps.

will this remote support VHS movies

I guess a lot depends on the make and model of your VHS player - if Logitech has that model in their database, the remote will control the player (after the remote has been programmed with the commands for that player). On the other hand, the make and model of your AV tuner or TV is also important, because all ANY 'universal' remote does is combine the operating signals for several makes and models of devices into one unit, so you don't have to juggle two, three, or five remotes just to watch what you want to watch. The device being controlled doesn't care what brand remote you use, as long as it recognizes and can execute the commands it gets. I've used several generations of Logitech remotes over the years, and they've all worked great once they were programmed. Hope this helps.

This Yamaha RX-V477BL receiver features AirPlay and HTC Connect technologies for wireless audio streaming. Includes HDMI 4K Ultra HD and 3D pass-through technologies for compatibility with 3D TVs, Blu-ray players and gaming consoles and 4K Ultra HD TVs.
 

Power input across different geographies

I have a home in Singapore and Japan. I want to purchase an RX-Vx77 which i can use in both countries

Singapore has 240V and Japan has 100v power supplies

Which RX- V amp allows me to do this ?
Yamaha makes a '_g' variant for the Singapore market (RX-V477_g, RX-V577_g, etc.) that has dual voltage (AC 110 to 120/220 to 240 V, 50/60Hz). The models sold in the US are all AC 110-120V, 60Hz. For your requirement, you'll probably have to contact a supplier in Singapore. Sorry.
