Not all channels but good enough
on January 4, 2018
Posted by: callmeageeth
from Louisville, KY
I just don't know what to believe re marketing of HDTV antennas, especially indoor ones. One Mohu antenna gets more channels than the other, depending on where you place either one (even in the same place). So I know with this one I'm missing some channels. Luckily, I get all of the major broadcast networks which is all I really care about. So that's good enough for me.
But ultimately I found a good location for this one. It's on the wall next to my window. It's a little unsightly, but that's the price you pay for free TV. Anyways, set up is dead simple UNLESS YOU HAVE TV ON THE WALL! One of my wall mounted TVs had easy access to the coaxial cable input, the other didn't. I had to take my second TV off the wall to access the coaxial cable. If you're in the market for an HDTV antenna, you cannot get away from this issue regardless of the antenna manufacturer, but it is something to consider when trying to cut cable and get an antenna.
There isn't much to say about set up, you screw the coaxial cable in and place the antenna in a spot near the wall or window (at least that's my thinking). The most difficult part is for those people who don't navigate their TV menus often, you will have to go find the settings to scan for channels. There's no universal location. Once there all you hit is scan, but it can be difficult to find that setting if you haven't done it before.
From there the TV scans for about 15 minutes and you should have 20-40 channels. Another annoyance of cutting cable is no channel menu. My TV luckily goes from one scanned channel to the next when you hit up or down on the remote, but to find a specific channel I have to know the numbers and they are weird. Some channels are like "41.1" or "17.15." You ultimately memorize them over time, but still, it's an annoyance.
If you have difficulties scanning channels and finding any, then you need to move the antenna. Like I said, I found a good spot near a window which I think is best. I haven't moved it since, and I've had no issues, even when raining.
All-in-all, a good product that works (for the most part) as advertised.

Finicky but gets the job done

I thought I found the perfect placement for the antenna, but then a few days later, I started getting touchy reception. Then I moved it, and voila, everything worked again. Don't ask me, it didn't make sense.
All-in-all, this is a great produce for cable cutters. It's SUPER easy to operate (coaxial cable into the TV, that's it) and it has a long cable to reach say, a window, for better reception. Again, the biggest drawback was it working in one spot one day and another the next. I haven't had the issue but once, so I hope it was an anomaly, but for the price I can deal with that.

Fun But Tough

I kind of missed the good ole days where you could turn a sports game on and just start playing. I've been out of sports game for some time, but wanted to get back into it. And man was it tough. The graphics and presentation are truly second-to-none, but I found myself practicing...to play a videogame against the computer.... for a week. It's fun when you get the hang of it, but know that unless you're a pro at 2K, you'll need to put the work in to learn how to play.

Great Spider-Man Reunion

I absolutely love this movie. I was a bit skeptical because I honestly enjoyed the Amazing Spider-Man movies, but Holland nails it. This is as relatable (at least as far as the awkward high school stuff goes) as it is enjoyable. And I think Keaton is at his best as a villain. He's awesome.

The Amazon Fire Stick is a blessing. My AppleTV died but this has more than made up for my loss. I'm never looking back. Instead of having one AppleTV (due to cost) I have 3 firesticks in all of my TVs. Set up is a breeze and performance is smooth. I don't use the Alexa remote to talk into it (I'm a Google Home guy) but the remote is responsive. And for Harmony users, you'll be happy to know that the FireStick plays very well with Harmony. And lastly,, maybe most importantly, you can't beat the price

Honestly, either you like COD games or you hate them. THe controls are tight and the action is packed. If you are looking for entertainment in the WWII setting (which I ALWAYS enjoy going back to) this game is a must. Just be prepared for convoluted multiplayer (I'm an older guy).

Convenient but not necessary
on December 30, 2017
Posted by: callmeageeth
from Louisville, KY
Verified Purchase:Yes
I like having a smartwatch to deliver notifications so I don't have to get my phone out of my backpack or pocket. The Apple Watch is still one of the best, as set up is nearly flawless and I've had zero communication issues. It's easy to navigate and is quite intuitive. I think the biggest decision to make when deciding if you really want an Apple Watch is whether you really want to stay that connected and if you want something else to worry about. It requires daily charging (much like your phone) and requires use of another outlet, with a proprietary charger. Forgetting a charger on a trip will render your watch entirely useless.
But if you're willing to put up with that, then this is a great choice for smartwatch (and let's be honest, virtually the only choice for iPhone users).

Good 1st effort, but app holds it back
on December 14, 2017
Posted by: callmeageeth
from Louisville, KY
I always thought of Epson as a printing company. So I was a bit intrigued to find out they were making a running watch. I think the running watch looks good, some might not like it because it's plain and black but that's what I like about it. There's no color screen, which is unnecessary and it does not have a touchscreen (again, not necessary). I assume these latter omissions were to conserve battery life. My big gripe about the watch itself is the length of the nonreplaceable strap, it barely reaches around my wrist.
The buttons on the watch are pretty intuitive. I found it easy to figure out how to navigate the watch. There's a start/stop button, select button, and two other buttons (basically up/down to go through the menus). Again, getting around the watch was no issue, but the app on the other hand...
The app is what holds this phone back. Let me start from the beginning. I charge my watch completely, while it's charging I download the app and set up an account. Then I'm told to update the firmware, which could take UP TO AN HOUR. That long to update ANYTHING is unacceptable, particularly when it's brand new out of the box. Thankfully, it didn't take that long, but I had issues along the way. There's no progress bar for the update, so several times I thought the app was frozen (and one time I left the app to do something else on my phone). After a few hiccups, I decided to just sit my phone down next to the watch and let it update. Finally, after about a 30 minute process it was up to date. But then, the time and date wouldn't sync. I went to the menus on the app (and even the watch) and made sure it was supposed to sync with my phone. But it didn't. Finally I set the time to sync with GPS and that worked. Everytime you connect the watch to your phone, it takes a few minutes to sync. It seems like every menu you go to on your phone (while it's connected to the app) takes a minute to load which makes navigating the app frustrating. Luckily, I don't do it all that often. I run, the watch saves my data and I look at it every now and then.
The battery life is just OK. I turned off continuous HR and the GPS and it lasted two full days. BUT I only went on 2 runs (I used GPS during the runs). To me, this isn't "world class battery life" as advertised. It's not bad, but I expected more, especially given it's limitations as a "smartwatch". (BTW, I didn't expect it to be a smart watch, nor do I want it to be, I'm just saying the battery life should be better since it's not doing more complicated processes as a smart watch).
AS to the smart watch component, you can receive notifications from your phone on your watch, but they're limited. First, that means you have to stay connected to Bluetooth which means the battery drains faster, second when you get a text, you can't read it on your watch. It just says text message received (and it lists the sender). So you have your phone and watch vibrating when you get a notification. Without being able to read it on your watch, there's no point to using that functionality.
As a running watch this is a competent watch. The data is accurate and I've had no issues with using it as a running watch. The first time I used it, it took a second to get the GPS signal, but since then no issues. It finds a signal pretty quickly. The dedicated start/stop button makes it quick and easy to get a run going, which is much appreciated. I haven't used it for other activities so I can't comment on its accuracy when say, biking. The HR monitor is good. I don't think any wrist based HR monitor beats a chest strap, but this is a good alternative if you don't want the additional equipment.
I must also add that this app does allow you to transfer data to other apps (such as MapMyRun and a few others), but I didn't try that out so I can't comment. I don't use other running apps. I used my FitBit before
All in all, this is a good running watch. It's problems are its app (which you can get over, unless you spend an inordinate amount of time viewing your stats within a running app) and the fact that it does nothing to stand out in the crowd. Your likely to lean towards a Garmin because of name recognition, but you can't go wrong with this watch if you need one to track your runs.

Great way to watch shows but no remote

I like the Google Chromecast integration with Google Home and I like being able to control things with my phone, but sometimes I need a remote. Don't get me wrong the Chromecast works well and seemless, and while most people always have their phones with them, I do prefer to use a remote. I just use Chromecasts because I'm invested in the Google ecosystem and Google Home.
At the end of the day, if you use Google Services, this is the best (I think only real) option. But if you have no major investment in any other ecosystem, I would give pause to the no remote thing. It's a fundamental change in how we watch TV; easy to get past, but a minor annoyance nonetheless.

Awesome budget content consumption tablet

I must admit, it was difficult going from Apple iPad screen to the Fire HD 8 (clarity still doesn't compare), but honestly, you can get over that pretty easily. If all you need/use a tablet for is media consumption like streaming shows on the go, reading kindle, reading online newspaper and the occasional websurfing, this is the tablet to get. Best part is the microSD slot. You can put in a card and get the ability to download and store a lot of shows for those time you don't have the internet. If you use Amazon Kindle books and watch TV shows on the go, this is the tablet to get.

Take aerial shots with this GoPro Karma drone. Its Karma Stabilizer lets the included HERO5 Black action camera capture shake-free videos, while the Karma Grip provides reliable stabilization for handheld and mounted filming. The game-style controller with an integrated touch display makes Karma easy and fun to fly.Fly Responsibly:Before takeoff, update all software and firmware, and read the instructions thoroughly.See the FAA website for registration requirements and information about flying a drone safely: https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/. Additional state or local requirements may apply. Check your local jurisdiction. The following websites may help you make informed decisions about flying your drone: www.knowbeforeyoufly.org and www.modelaircraft.org.
Just curious what the flight time experience has been like. Says 20 minutes with no payload; however, is the camera considered "payload"? Is it 20 minutes WITH the camera? Also, how close to 20 minutes is the "actual" flight time?
Given that the camera is required to fly I wouldn't think that the camera is considered payload. I've never tried to fly with any payload mostly because I haven't needed to and it doesn't seem equipped to hold anything (you would have to use some ingenuity to attach something to it). I can speak as to how long it flies without any payload but obviously with the camera. And in my use, it's been between 18-19 minutes of flight time. The very first time I flew it, it landed itself due to low battery around the 18 minutes mark, even though on the handheld controller, the screen said there was 2 minutes of flight time left. I haven't flown it enough while taking video/stills to determine how much that drains the battery. Hope that helps.

Yes, the bundle comes with the newest model camera. The packaging and promotions for the PSVR actually show the older model (which as I understand, will still work). This camera is completely different than the PS3 version.

A large 32GB of storage keep data secure, while unlimited cloud storage transfers data as needed, and it's completely automatic. The large 5-inch screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 to ensure the Google Pixel remains scratch-free.
It is an unlocked phone, so I assume it is compatible with SIM card from other countries - is that correct?
I can't confirrm that it will work sims from other countries (depends on bandwidths) but I can absolutely confirm that putting a T-Mobile sim into this phone will work. Sorry couldn't give you a better answer!

Charge 2 GoPro lithium-ion batteries simultaneously with this GoPro AHBBP-301 charger that reliably draws power from select USB chargers, USB-enabled computers or GoPro wall or vehicle chargers (not included), so you can keep your camera ready for use.
Does this have the cable to connect charger to computer? Is there a cord that connects camera directly to computer or wall charger for charging? I think we lost ours.
It comes with a mini-USB cable which you can plug into your computer (I wouldn't recommend because of slow charging) and a wall charger. The same mini-USB cable plugs directly into the camera itself
