Far better than any Cable Co provided DVR

The TiVo Bolt has made an excellent addition to my home. I recently replaced a DirecTV Genie and wired mini setup with this Bolt and TiVo mini's on Time Warner with a CableCard, and I haven't looked back even once. The device is nice and fast and very easy to set up. I am shocked just how simple it was to get the MoCa setup going with the right filters on the system. The mini's do an excellent job of timeshifting and viewing recorded content on the Bolt. The bolt itself is rocket fast, and easily expandable in storage by replacing the hard drive inside. The OnePass functionality works like a champ, and the Bolt's ability to pull shows not only from Cable, but from streaming sources too makes missing a show impossible. Lastly, the TiVo suggestions feature is really smart and does an excellent job at picking out shows that I would like to watch based on my thumbs up/down ratings. There's always hundreds of shows and movies waiting for me to watch at my leisure that I would enjoy watching. The Genie was never close to guessing my likes and dislikes. And access to your recordings from mobile devices is a breeze. The video/audio quality is quite excellent too.
My only knock on the Bolt would be it's lack of apps. It has the important ones like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, but there's a big hole there where there should a lot more apps for other services. This is something to get over easily though as many smart tv's and gaming consoles already have these.
I have been incredibly pleased with this device. Very worth the investment to get rid of monthly cable box fees.

Great smartwatch

When looking at smart "watches" there's quite a few to choose from. but many look like a large touch screen strapped to your wrist rather than a watch. The Moto360 is probably the best smart watch on the market. If you're looking for a device that is smart with phone and app integration, but still sharp looking and works with your business attire this is your device. The next closest option in my opinion would be the Asus ZenWatch. Both devices have a pretty slim profile and still manage to be a functional watch without being large and bulky. The Apple device is way overpriced and works with only Apple, the Samsung device is only good with Samsung and is far too large.
What this device isn't great at...it's not a fitness band...if you want one of those get a Microsoft Band. If you don't mind having the fitness integration but isn't your core purpose then this device is just fine. What this device is...it's a great watch that can save you time and effort when it comes to having to pull your phone out of you pocket if someone texts you or you need to look something up online or grab directions.

Upon getting a second chance at life, Lee Everett finds himself among utter chaos and devastation in a world completely overrun by The Walking Dead. Fear is in the air, and the stench of uncertainty lurks around every corner. When given the choice between living or joining the zombie horde, the decision seems simple — it's the staying alive part that's difficult. Thanks to Robert Kirkman's award-winning comic book series and the TV show it inspired, the undead apocalypse has become one of the most powerful pop culture icons in existence, so join in on all the exciting — and gory — fun.Dive right into the award-winning series, The Walking Dead, and get a first-hand look into Lee's grisly and frantic world. Feel the adrenaline and the fast-paced horror as the spectacular graphics and chilling action pull you into the events that foreshadow the familiar storyline of Deputy Sheriff, Rick Grimes. Battle your way through hordes of vicious zombies with only one thing on their brains — your brains. In this powerful series, you won't just be bashing heads and wielding weapons — although there is certainly enough action and gore to keep your pulse rushing — but you'll be enraptured by the captivating storyline, which is deeply emotional and forces you to make meaningful choices. This groundbreaking franchise has received praise in bookstores and on television, and now you can experience The Walking Dead craze that everyone's talking about with Complete First Season's five episodes available on one disc and a bonus episode, 400 Days, so you have everything you need to immerse yourself in the Walking Dead journey. Act wisely — each choice you make will have a direct impact on your fate as you progress through the series. It's a dog-eat-dog world out there. Literally. Do you have what it takes to make it out alive?

The story is a blast and the gameplay is really great for replayability. You'll find yourself wanting to play it through a couple times just to see the different outcomes.

Excellent receiver with great power and clarity

purchased this receiver to replace my long overdue for replacement onkyo tx-sr608. the 608 was a great receiver but lacked the power in 700watts to really drive my energy sound system. the 1800 watts in this pioneer was just what the system needed. you notice an immediate difference in sound quality and overall output levels the moment you fire up that first movie. it has a class d amp so it runs cool and conserves energy. the built-in mcacc room calibration tool is really detailed and compensates for jitter and really makes the difference in tuning the room. if you've got the spare bucks and need a 200+ watt per channel receiver then this is a really good buy.

I want to bouy and forward it to Brazil through Shipito. Is it unlocked to other carriers?

The device is carrier unlocked, but you'll want to ensure it can operate on the carrier bands available in Brazil.

The device is carrier unlocked. I am using it on AT&T. It's safe to say it will operate on T-Mo as well.

Is this phone worth getting over an iPhone 7,I'm getting Teri's of apple and heard that google phones are really good. Also is it hard go to use to the way this phone works if ur a iPhone user. Thx for help.

Apple is behind the curve. They consistently play catch-up to Android now. Make the switch...you'll be happy you did.

Nothing puts a vacuum to the test quite like a home with pets. That's why the BISSELL® Pet Hair Eraser® was developed from the ground up by pet parents for pet parents. Whether it's shedding season for your dog or your cat tracks kitty litter all over the house, this revolutionary vacuum is designed to make cleaning up after pets and the people who love them a breeze—from beginning to end. Say goodbye to hair wrap with its Tangle-Free Brush Roll, remove embedded hair everywhere with specialized pet tools, help capture allergens and eliminate odors with the SmartSeal™ Allergen System, and when you're finished cleaning, enjoy a hands-free tank empty with our patented Cyclonic Spooling System™.BR>
 

How load is it? I've used an Oreck XL upright and a Eureka Mighty Mite and would hope it's no louder as those. I prefer bagged vacuums but want to try the BISSELL Pet Hair Eraser because of its claims of not getting hair tangled on the roller.

It's louder than my Dyson DC28. I wouldn't say its outrageously loud, but it's got a bit of a high pitch whine to it.

LG OLED 4K Ultra HD TV: Enjoy a cinematic viewing experience in your living room with this OLED HDTV, which presents a 4K Ultra HD picture. Plus, you can connect to the Internet with built-in Wi-Fi and webOS 2.0 for access to a wide range of apps, including Netflix.
 

What is the refresh rate?

there is no refresh rate/response time on an OLED. the pixels are instant on/off. however, there is input lag on the hdmi ports with post processing turned on. i've seen no problems with gaming on the cinema preset. if it's something that concerns you, you can simply turn on game more which disables a lot of post processing lag. but again, my assessment is that it's a moot point.

From: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/40-oled-technology-flat-panels-general/2132034-lg-55ef9500-65ef9500-oled-owners-thread.html

1. Display lag measured with a Leo Bodnar tester. Getting this out of the way. I'm not a gamer......

HDMI1 - All modes 50ms

HDMI3
ISF Mode - 120ms
Game Mode - 64ms
Rename input from HDMI3 to PC - 50ms

Update WOS to 3.0?

Will LG update to WOS3.0 ???? I have a EF9500 and it would be bad if they don't update it for the price we paid for this TV and I just got it in Dec 2015..
rumors are no

will this TV benefit from Geek Squad Calibration?

Got this TV several months ago. Think the picture is good, but not significantly better than my 2 yr. old Samsung. Got differing opinions from sales mgr. & geek tech when I asked this Q, then read calibration review from a customer on another LG TV saying the LG he had actually got worse with the Geek Squad Calibration. I don't want to waste my $, but want to make sure I'm getting the best picture I can now that I've invested the $ I did buying it. Any info out there re: 65" LG OLED 4K flat screen calibration?
make certain you're running the latest firmware from the website. the auto updater in the us isn't working properly. it's up to 4.20.75 as of today. i performed a calibration on it, and ultimately decided to go back to the preset Cinema settings. I for one prefer the brightness that comes with this preset. The colors out of the box are pretty spot on, and I actually like the Soap Opera Effect.

Try these calibration settings before blowing several hundred dollars on one: http://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/lg-65ef9500-picture-settings/

but know that those settings will drastically reduce brightness.
