excellent sound

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was having trouble haring the vocals in movies and television without turning the volume on my tv almost all the way up, which also made the explosions, music, and other sounds in the show or movie really loud (loud enough that I am certain my neighbors were hearing everything and I live in a house not an apartment). With this sound bar I am able to hear the voices and keep the other parts of the show or movie at a comfortable level and the volume low enough that my neighbors aren't having to turn up their televisions to drown out mine.

Hulu live tv better than cable

I tried Hulu with live tv to see if it lives up to the advertisements. It exceeds the advertisements. This card is an excellent way to pay for the Hulu subscription if you are not comfortable with using your credit card online.

Must Have for Xbox One S
on May 1, 2018
Posted by: Michael
from San Antonio
Verified Purchase:Yes
With a few large games (Elder Scrolls, and some popular MMO's) the 500GB hard drive started to fill quickly with the recent sale they had in the Xbox store. This drive was very easy to install - just read the box on the screen and it does the work for you with a few easy to understand (asked in non technical language) questions when there are options that affect how or what the drive is being used for. Once the drive was formatted, then it was extremely easy to just go to the games / apps menu and choose which were being moved to the segate and which would remain on the console. Thank you seagate and microsoft for making this so simple.

Pounding bass and brilliant treble combine when you put on a pair of these Skullcandy earphones. Enjoy supreme comfort throughout the day thanks to the comfortable silicone ear gels and the flat cable that minimizes tangles. Simply connect these Skullcandy earphones to your smartphone, tablet or MP3 player using the 3.5mm jack.
 

I use mind for one month ,later it no longer connect with my Samsung S3 phone but showing Bluetooth on and ready for connection. Please what could be the problem?

please turn off the Bluetooth on your s3, forget the paired device, turn the Bluetooth back on and repair the headphones. I have had to do this not only with my headphones but with several Bluetooth devices for my galaxy phones over the years.

How is the sound? (Bass part)

Bluetooth headphones are one product that (regardless of the brand or manufacturer) we will get what we pay for. when we pay around $50 we are basically just getting the freedom of no wire. the sound (bass and treble) are a little better than traditional headphones but not a difference that is worth bragging about.

Are these earphones waterproof?

I have had them get slightly wet from mist and also from sweat and they still work great. I would not recommend submersing them in water.

Expand your Xbox storage capacity with this compact 8TB Seagate Game Drive Hub for your Xbox One®, Xbox Series X, or Xbox Series S. Two front-facing USB 3.0 ports charge controllers and enable fast data transfer, while the unit's plug-and-play design makes setup simple. Use this handy Seagate Game Drive Hub to store over 200 games, essential gaming data and downloaded content.
 

can this product be used to backup a computer also? thank you

Seagate has 2 different (general) types of this drive. One designed for the Xbox starts with the letters STG (looking at the model number). The other general type is designed for Windows or Mac and will start with something different than STG as the first 3 characters of the model number. The Xbox one might work with a pc and the pc might work with the xbox but i would not recommend it since seagate took the time and spent extra resources and money developing 2 seperate types of the same product. Companies usually won't waste money, time, and resources just to confuse us. They usually only commit to these extras if the is a necessity for doing so.

What is the difference between a sSTGG8000400 ,STEL8000100 ,STEL8000200,STEL8000300, Thanks,

The STG is designed for compatibility with the Xbox. The others are designed for compatibility with Widows or Mac. They may work with the Xbox although they will probably experience shorter life spans. The "why shorter?" answer is one I can only provide using a technical explanation that most without experience in hardware or system I.T. will have trouble understanding. Basically it has to do with how the drive will fragment and other more complicated and confusing things. The difference between the 3 drives you listed that do not start with STG is basically just the storage size of each drive. If you check Seagate's website you will notice the drive comes in different sizes.

So my hard drive started beeping all of a sudden and now it won't stop beeping when you plug it in. It dosent connect to my Xbox at this point and literally all of my games are on it. Does anybody know what's going on?

There are a few reasons a hard drive will beep. The most common is if it is near the end of it's life cycle. One way to check, and fix almost any error with a seagate drive (also the method i use and the method that is most often recommended by I.T. is to visit Seagate's website and download their program named SeaTools. It is easy to find ... seagates > support > software downloads ... and choose the option for windows. Plug the hard drive into your desktop or laptop that you downloaded and installed the program on then run the program. Once it has checked for supported drives and shows a list of hard drives, simply click the small white box to the left of the seagate hard drive that is used for your xbox and choose S.M.A.R.T. Check from the drop down menu near the top listed Basic tests. We want it to say Smart - Pass because this is good. If it finds any problems it will say something else that may have technical jargon. We don't need to understand the technical words or definitions to continue. Just select the drive again, go back to the drop down menu and this time select the fix all option. You will have 2 choices, fast or long. I recommend the Long, not be a Troll, but because this option has a greater chance of actually fixing all of the errors instead of maybe missing something or skipping some issues that may be considered minor by seagate but will still cause issues with game play if you are playing some of the high end, system intensive games. IF this does not fix the issue then thankfully there is a backup plan to recovering your games. You can (if you havent already) turn on the cloud backup option in your xbox menu and choose to backup your games. This will back up the user file parts that have your characters, items, stats, etc. Then either replace the hard drive with a new one or choose to just use the xbox internal hard drive if you have enough space. Once a game has been purchased from the xbox / microsoft store, you can re-download it without having to repurchase it. Just remember to uninstall the game from your xbox first. I hope this wasn't to confusing but it may be so I will summarize the "last resort" option - 1. back up to the cloud. 2. uninstall games. 3. go to xbox / microsoft store. 4. download games that show "purchased" or "owned" tags (games that you have previously purchased or redeemed codes for). 5. (might be needed for some games but not others) - sync your cloud back up with the game. basically when you log into the game if it provides and option for you to choose the directory you want to load from, choose your cloud drive. this will load the characters, settings, items, etc, for that particular game.

Only @ Best BuyEasily switch between up to 4 HDMI source components with this HDMI switch that supports 1080p and 3D video for high-definition entertainment and 7.1 surround sound for impressive audio.
 

Signal from my PlayStation works, but roku stick & comcast X1 box don't. Screen is black with no video or audio. Comcast says its bc the cable box and roku have copyright materials so it won't allow it to go through the switch?

I haven't worked with this specific switch, however when working with switches and the screen is black for certain devices, i will check the setting first for certain ports that may be blocked and also check the device's (playstation) setting to ensure they are not utilizing a dedicated channel. I know that Roku sticks and most of the Roku's boxes require a dedicated tv input and do not like to be used with most switches.

Kingston - HyperX Beast (T3) - 32GB Kit (4x8GB) - DDR3 2133MHz Intel XMP - Black

I was wanting to know if this RAM package is compatible with the GIGABYTE - Ultra Durable Desktop Motherboard - Intel Z97 Express Chipset - Socket H3 LGA-1150 - Multi?
According to Gigabyte the model number GA-Z97X-SLI rev 1.0 http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4957&kw=GA-Z97X-SLI1.0#dl has not been tested for that specific memory module. This does not mean that it won't work. Only that you should be very cautious about using it. It has been tested for Kingston 4GB model number KHX2133C11D3K4/16GX DDR3 2133 and it has also been tested for the 2133mhz speed of the 8GB sticks made by ADATA, Avexir, Corsair, G.Skill, and Patriot.Personally, I will not use memory that is not on the manufacturer tested list for any of my boards. I have friends that will test it by installing and very carefully monitoring the performance and temperature of the memory for a steady 12 hour period of time without taking any breaks before deciding if it is working without damaging the board. They will all say the same thing though - not recommended unless you have a solid background in system configuration and a degree or several certifications to go with the hands on background.
