NestCam is a very easy to use home security webcam
on July 9, 2016
Posted by: TechBuck
Verified Purchase:Yes
Having owned 2 of the original 720p DropCams for a couple years now, we jumped to add one upgraded 1080p NestCam when it went on sale recently. The glass lens of the NestCam is a big improvement over the plastic lens of the DropCams, as was the increased resolution and 8X zoom. So far it's working great. If NestCam goes on sale again, I'd probably grab additional cams. You can place these anywhere inside your home within reach of a power outlet and USB charger+cable that gets a good Wi-Fi signal from your home network.

Near 4K up convert BlueRay, HD up convert old DVDs
on June 24, 2016
Posted by: TechBuck
Verified Purchase:Yes
Latest greatest Sony BlueRay player with wi-fi has all the latest content protection, and has plenty of streaming movie and content applications. Starts quick, reads discs quick, and works seamlessly with other Sony components. Until Sony comes out with a native 4K BlueRay player, the BDP-S6700 is the best Sony BD player out there and it can up convert 1080P BD to near 4K output, and can up convert the older 1080i DVDs to 1080P output.... Can update its firmware and apps. Very good gear so far - I have it paired with a Sony XBR65X930D 4K tv and a Sony STR-DN1070 AVR.
BestBuy ran out on line and recently took the item off the website....need to get back in stock on this excellent up scaling BD player! This player will make the best up convert possible for your old BlueRays and DVD content. Both look great on a 4K tv.
Negatives: only HDMI, optical, and coax...no component out.
App access has gone down on this unit a few times now, while same apps on the connected Sony tv were working fine...small bugs to work out of this new release gear.

Good value @ $79-Decent bedroom bookshelf speakers
on June 24, 2016
Posted by: TechBuck
Verified Purchase:Yes
I wouldn't recommend this set of speakers for a larger room, but for a small room they are a good value. Well made, but you don't expect full range from small bookshelf speakers. If you can add to your setup, these bookshelf speakers can really use the help of an added center channel speaker and a subwoofer. They should be set as "small" on your receiver for best tonal result.

Limited apps
on June 24, 2016
Posted by: TechBuck
Verified Purchase:Yes
Got this inexpensive older version of Apple TV for a bedroom, but you only get the apps that came with it...can't add any other apps because there's no extra memory on board. I should have gotten one of the newer models with memory and the better remote.
It does get you connected with your apple photos, music files, and movies you can use on the tv screen, so that's good.

Top quality Sony 4K A/V Receiver
on June 17, 2016
Posted by: TechBuck
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought a new 4K HDR Sony TV and a new (near) 4K up scaling Sony Blueray player,( waiting for a reasonably priced Native 4K Blueray player ) Needed a 4K pass through A/V Receiver, and I waited to grab this just on the market Sony STR-DN1070. All of the HDMI inputs are the current HDMI version with HDCP v 2.2, and the 7:2 (165w X 7) receiver has most of the newest features including wi-fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay, Spotify compatible, and good integration with my 192/24 bit High Res music files. I found this unit to be a pretty well rounded top of Sony's consumer line AVR, Sounds very good with my existing 5:1 in-wall system and a 12" Sony Sub - has plenty of power and no distortion noted. Everything I needed works, there are lots of features I haven't tried yet, and it operates pretty seamlessly with the new Sony tv and Blueray unit.. This unit replaced an excellent 2007 Sony ES class A/V receiver that I simply moved to use in another room. I also own two older (pre-HDMI) 2001 & 2005 Sony AVR's that are still doing their job well with older tv's/gear in the house, so I think you can expect Sony A/V receivers to be very high quality and should last a long time.
Negative observations: 1) I can't use my powered FM antenna with this because Sony engineers used a proprietary Sony antenna plug instead of coax, so I'm stuck using the included low quality wire antenna. Dumb, but a small thing.
2) Wish Sony would get with it and provide remotes with backlit buttons!
I also suggest it needs a better center "select" button... more raised and identifiable when using it by touch in a dimly lit room.

Florence + The Machine deliver a good quality recording on this very successful "So Big, So Blue, So Beautiful" 2015 album CD. The Dynamic Range averages a 9 for the album.

Works great

Verified Purchase:Yes
Pretty easy to install. I had no trouble getting the Nest on my wifi net.
Does self checks and a test monthly. Good for the max 10 years.
Only negative is the high $99 price, so it will be a while before all of my old units get replaced...
