Does what it's supposed to do

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this external drive to backup my files, where speed was not of too much importance. Drives that draw power through the USB port (as opposed to external power sources) typically spin at 5400 rpm (as opposed to 7200 rpm when powered by an external source) and as such are not truly fast. But this drive does exactly what I expected to have. So, no regrets.

Launched in 2011, this design established the trend of paper-thin TV antennas. Universally compatible with all HDTVs, the Mohu Leaf 50 offers the benefits and powerful performance of our notorious design coupled with the Jolt Switch USB in-line amplifier to reach a 60-mile range. Control TV signal amplification in real time with a simple ON/OFF switch. When it’s "on", TV signals are increased for clearer picture and sound, sometimes receiving channels beyond your antenna’s standard range. When it’s "off", amplification is bypassed while TV signals are still filtered from FM and cellular interference. When plugged into your TV’s USB port, the amplifier only draws power when the TV is on, saving energy, or use the included USB power adapter with any standard wall outlet. Perfect for suburban areas, compact living spaces, single-TV homes, dorm rooms, RVs…take this efficient antenna just about anywhere you go. Easy to set up and easy on the eyes. Multi-directional UHF and Hi-VHF elements receive TV signals from both sides, so you can show either side of the black or white reversible design or paint the Leaf antenna for a customized look. Note: The range of this antenna will vary greatly depending on the height, power, and frequency of signals coming from the TV tower, as well as the height of the antenna installation, the terrain, and obstacles between your home and the broadcast towers. Find your TV towers and channels by using our free Antenna Point app on your android or iOS device.

Works fine for closer-by towers

I live in Morgan Hill, CA, right in the valley, and only had medium success with this indoor antenna. Though I was able to receive close to 50 multiplexed channels at times, the signal was not strong enough for the channels to stay on. It would be a constant come and go, except for channels that came from relatively close-by towers. This antenna is very directional, as moving it even just by an inch would have an impact on channel quality. I don't believe the 50-mile radius coverage is true. It's probably closer to 30 miles. I absolutely love the design of this antenna. You can install it on a window or a wall. Recommendation: Try it out to see if it works for your situation. If it doesn't, try the ClearStream 4V antenna which I ended up getting.
BestBuy allowed me to return my Mohu antenna for the Antennas Direct - ClearStream 4V antenna, which I installed in the garage for much improved TV reception. The signals are stronger with the ClearStream 4V antenna.

Immerse yourself in the entertainment experience with this 75-inch Sony Ultra HD smart TV. Its display is enhanced to create an incredibly realistic picture at near-4K resolution with improved contrast and brilliant color, and its ultra-slim design allows easy wall mounting. This Sony Ultra HD smart TV provides voice-controlled searches and commands with Google Home compatibility.
XBR75X940E 75-Inch vs Sony XBR75X900E 75-Inch does the 940e worth the extra money. or 900E is enough.
Really comes down to personal taste. Let me try to answer your question like this: If you want Dolby Vision support, the software update (due 01/10/2018 according to AVS Forum) won't come for the 900E as its graphics engine is not the X1 Extreme processor, which is the only one that will support Dolby Vision. I have the 940E and am deeply impressed by its representation of colors (brightness) and blacks. The 940E comes very close to OLED quality. Does this help?

they say you can buy extra speakers for sound what are they for this tv or if have a 5.1 sony sound system will it work with the tv remote
In my opinion the built-in speakers (with subwoofers!) are actually so fine that you don't need external speakers. Of course, if you want to go full-fletched home theater style sound you want to connect it to a Audio/Video Receivers using a Dolby Atmos setup, or at least a 5.1 setup. As this TV supports ARC, you can connect it to a soundbar, too. This automatically turns of the built-in speakers providing that the soundbar support HDMI CEC control.

Stream your favorite TV shows and movies straight to your TV with the Roku Ultra. It has voice search to make finding your next binge easier, and it's compatible with 4K Ultra HD displays for crystal-clear picture quality. The Roku Ultra includes a lost remote finder so you never have to search the couch cushions again.
can you watch home videos through a usb port ?
It should, but I haven't tried it. It does play back most music, picture, and video files via DLNA through its built-in Media Player app. I have a SSD connected to an Asus wireless router that stores all my music (mainly Flac), pictures (JPG), and video (MP4) files, and the Roku plays them just nicely.

Do you have to hook this router up to my current internet line
You would need to connect this router to either (1) directly to cable modem (and use this router as a "Wireless Router" and then let all your Internet-enabled devices (Smart TVs, mobile devices, media streamers, etc.) connect to this router either via Ethernet or wirelessly), or (2) to another wireless router in "Access Point" mode through an Ethernet cable to extend the wireless signal coverage to other Internet-enabled clients, or (3) to another wireless router in "Media Bridge" mode wirelessly (but for this one you would need 2 of these routers). - It all just so depends what you want to achieve.

I am cutting cable and keeping internet...Spectrum standard 60bmp. I have 3 smart TV's. I want to get a proper modem and wireless router to maxims speed and data load with out. We have 5 smart phones load and 2 laptop for steaming, data & music
I have a good feel that the Asus-RT-AC5300 Wireless Router can support your Internet-connected devices just fine. Make sure - as with all wireless routers - you place your router centrally in your house away from as many walls as you can. I personally try to hard-wire (with Ethernet Cat 5e or higher) things like TVs, game consoles and streaming devices to ensure they have good gigabit connections to the router leaving the wireless signal for mobile devices. As you're connecting your mobile devices to the router wirelessly, remember that the (lower speed) 2.4 GHz band has a better reach (goes through walls better) than the two (higher speed) 5 GHz bands. I would have my smart phones always connect to the 2.4 GHz band.
