Control multiple devices at once with this RCA three-device universal remote. A 40-foot IR range lets you adjust the volume or change channels from anywhere in your room, while the ergonomic, thin design allows comfortable handling. Compatibility with most satellite, cable and streaming players offers versatility, and the partially backlit keypad makes it easy to use in the dark.

Universal Remote can control several devices
on November 22, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
It was easy to setup the universal remote to work with a blue-ray dvd player that we lost the remote for while moving. Also controls was easy to set to control the tv. Can run several devices at once.
Was one of the cheaper universal remotes available, and after 2 months it still works as well with the tv as the tv's own remote.

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.

Gets some over-the-air HD Channels
on November 22, 2017
Posted by: wpbond
from Virginia
Verified Purchase:Yes
Hard to tell how good the antenna really is. I get some HD over-the-air channels that are 35-36 miles away per one of the online TV transmitter mapping sites that helps you identify channels should be in distance to receive. However, there are other channels at the same distance (a few degrees different direction) that do not come in. I think the antenna is not as multi-directional as advertised. Moving it around (without changing where you are standing) can definitely impact what channels comes in. It is a powered antenna so that helps. They include an extremely long tv cable to go from the antenna to the tv. This is great if mounting the antenna far from the tv, but if the antenna is on a window or wall near the tv, you have a lot of excess cord and are losing signal over the wasted length of cable. In this case, it's best to switch to a shorter coaxial cable, if you have one.

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.

Frustrating, but cheap way to watch TV
on November 11, 2017
Posted by: wpbond
from Virginia
Verified Purchase:Yes
Roku allows use of many tv and video apps so you can watch tv cheaply. Best if you subscribe to video services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu or an over-the-top tv service like DirecTV Now. Or, if you have a cable or satellite subscription already, you can log into lots of networks apps with your account credentials from your other service to enable their app on Roku. However, lots of video streams in the various apps stutter or freeze even with high-bandwidth internet connections. Getting all channels is difficult. The individual network apps usually work better than Hulu or DirecTV Now, but even they have random streaming issues too. This whole thing works best if you already have cable or satellite and just want to watch TV occasionally on an extra tv that's connected to a Roku instead of paying for another set-top-box from your TV provider.

Doesn't Really Rock
on August 18, 2017
Posted by: wpbond
from Connecticut
Verified Purchase:Yes
After Laughter doesn't really rock like their earlier albums. The first half sounds like they borrowed way too heavily from Gwen Stefani's solo albums. Songs like "26" are very mellow, piano driven tunes. "Fake Happy" is a highlight for me.

Easy to Use; Great for Group Photos

This is a very handy remote. It's great for group photos when you are in the group picture. Much easier to use this than setting timers and running back to the group to get in the picture. Easy to setup and very simple to use.

Works Great; Costs Less; Less Capacity Though
on July 15, 2017
Posted by: wpbond
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this to have a spare battery in case main OEM battery runs out during outdoor photo sessions. This one charges up and works great. It costs much less than the OEM battery. Only drawback is that it holds less charge than the OEM batter, but still enough for plenty of pictures.

Features the Studio Version of "Fear of the Dark"
on May 15, 2017
Posted by: wpbond
Verified Purchase:Yes
Fear of the Dark, from 1992, is the last Iron Maiden album with Bruce Dickinson on lead vocals before he left the group to focus on his solo career. Guitarist Adrian Smith had already left after their previous album. On this album, Bruce's vocals are more snarly and filled with screams than his Iron Maiden albums from the '80's or 2000 on. He really only sounded this way on the 2 albums from the 1990's, No Prayer for the Dying and Fear of the Dark.
The Fear of the Dark album features 11 songs and includes some good (but not great) ones, such as: Be Quick or Be Dead, From Here to Eternity, Afraid to Shoot Strangers, Childhood's End, The Fugitive and The Apparition. However, the real gem is the title track "Fear of the Dark".
After hearing live versions of "Fear of the Dark" on some of their live albums and their From Fear to Eternity: 1990-2010 greatest hits album, I was interested to go back and get this disc for the studio version. Personally I prefer the live versions which tend to showcase superior vocals from Bruce versus the way he sang the original studio version (as mentioned earlier, he had a different vocal sound on the 2 studio albums from the 1990's).
Unfortunately, this album features a bunch of very weak tracks too. In fact, with 11 tracks spanning 59 total minutes, they could of made this album much stronger simply by cutting 2-3 of the weaker songs.
Bottom line: this album doesn't stack up well versus their 1980's albums from The Number of the Beast to Seventh Son of a Seventh Son OR to their 2000 onward albums (Brave New World through The Book of Souls). My buying recommendation is only for those who want to complete their full Iron Maiden collection (or their IM w/ Bruce collection) or to those interested in getting the studio version of the song "Fear of the Dark".

Good Looking USB Cable
on May 15, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
Nice looking USB cable in green. Works fine with a USB car charger for charging Android smartphones, although it could be used for other USB products too. The cable should be a little cheaper as an Insignia branded item.

Small, lower power, but works well
on April 4, 2017
Posted by: wpbond
Verified Purchase:Yes
I need a countertop-style microwave to fit in a recessed cabinet area. The space is not deep enough for bigger microwaves, so I need a smaller one like this LG unit. Other small microwaves I've bought during the last 4 years died after a year or two. This unit is a little smaller, lower power, and more expensive than other units I've bought from other brands over the past 4 years. I'm hopeful it will last longer since LG generally makes good appliances.
It seems sturdy and it cooks efficiently, even though it is rated at only 700 Watts of power.
The display stays lit and it does light the inside while cooking which some cheaper units don't. So far it seems well-built.

Keep your notebook in pristine condition with this SmartShell 13-inch rose pink MacBook Air case. This case, which is engineered to fit your MacBook Air like a polycarbonate glove, has rubber feet on the bottom to keep your laptop steady. This two-part SmartShell 13-inch rose pink MacBook Air case snaps on easily, protecting your valuable notebook against everyday damage.
 

The product's title says Upper Shield Case. The "Upper" is confusing to me. Does this case cover BOTH the top and bottom of a laptop?

Yes, there are 2 pieces. One for the top half and another for the bottom half of the laptop.
