This Samsung 5 Series HT-J5500/ZA Blu-ray home theater system includes 5 satellite speakers and a passive subwoofer. To build a complete 3D home theater system, you'll also need a 3D TV, 3D glasses designed for the TV and a high-speed HDMI cable.

Great sound out of a little box

Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this because the sound from the my flat screen tv is not so good. I wanted something that would make the sound easier to hear and understand, and this does that at a small price. I was considering another Bose, but this was just right for the space. My only issue is the back surround speakers do not produce hardly any sound, but for this small room, it really didn't matter.

Looking at Amazon Echos for Christmas present and as a lark i bought the Dot for myself to try out. It was connected to a Bose system through a cable and the sound was just incredible. Streaming music over this is just wonderful. It does every thing the original Echo can do. Well worth the money.

Arris - Surfboard Docsis 3.0 Cable Modem
on December 11, 2016
Posted by: vpeeler
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was having trouble with the cable company supplied modem / router so I decided to upgrade. Boy was this an upgrade. I have been using this for about 2 months now and have had no problems since installing this unit. I am now getting the full speed advertised by my cable company and I am using streaming services with absolutely no buffering. Replacing the cable supplied equipment was the best thing I could have done. I paired this with a Linksys EA9500 and have never been happier with my internet and Wi-Fi .. Highly Recommend this unit..

I was having trouble with the cable company supplied router so I decided to upgrade. Boy was this a Upgrade. Sure it’s pricey, but I now have 300MB bandwidth on my Wi-Fi same as my wired. Security is tight and setup was fairly easy. So far for the 2 months I have had this router, I have had absolutely no problems at all..

ROKU Premier
on December 11, 2016
Posted by: vpeeler
Verified Purchase:Yes
The cable company jacked up my monthly cable bill by over 50 dollars per month, so I cut the cord. I now only subscribe to internet service. On the cable there were only about 12 -15 channels I normally watched. I bought a Roku Premier and subscribed to SlingTV and found that almost all my channels I normally watched were there. Since Cable now requires a cable box to watch their channels, using a Roku to watch cable type channels is really no difference than having cable and a greatly reduced price. I have since bought two of these for another TV in my home and love them. The only issue is every once in a while the Roku will not connect so I have to reset the unit by cycling the power. Other than that issue the picture is great and the performance is consistent with a cable box.. Great unit. I recommend one for every person that is thinking of leaving the cable company for a better option…

TIVO OTA
on December 11, 2016
Posted by: vpeeler
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been a TIVO user for over 10 years. I had 5 TIVO units in my home, but my cable company jacked my cable price up over 50 dollars a month, so I cut the cord and only have internet service. I installed an antenna in my attic and bought my first TIVO OTA. So far it’s a great piece of equipment. It records all my normal TV shows from the antenna and it incorporates most of my streaming services. With this unit, I really do not miss cable. The only thing that would improve on this unit would be the inclusion of a SlingTV app along with Netflix, HULU, and Amazon Prime. I would suggest buying the $399 unit as with that there is no monthly fee to use it..

Can the dot or echo be hooked up in your car?

You can through bluetooth, but you will still need a wifi signal and the optional battery pack. I don't think the battery pack is available at Best Buy.

Does this product work alone or do you have to purchase additional items to make it work?

It will work alone, but you will want a better speaker for streaming audio. You will still need a wifi signal.

Can the dot be used with the Bose system? If so do you just sync it to the blue tooth?

You can use bluetooth, but a audio cable works better using the AUX on the Bose. I've tried both anf stayed with the cable. Best Buy has a great Bluetooth unit from Rockford that works great with my Bose, but the cable is still better

Is the music free or is it only a three month free trial? Is Amazon music free?

Some is free. You can sign up for Amazon's music service, or play you Pandora or other services mucic chanels. It will tell you is the music you want requires a subscription or not. For most music a subscription is not required...

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.
 

My wife and I are getting ready to cut the cable. Roku is a top contender. Is it possible to utilize all of the streaming capabilities of the Roku box and also use a "cable replacement subscription" (Sling) on the same devise at the same time?

YES!!! I have done just that. I now have 3 Roku devices in my house and 3 TIVO OTAs. (Over The Air). The TIVOs will record over the air digital signals and do some streaming channels (Netflix, Hulu, and many more), just not Sling. I have used the Roku devices and Sling to replace the cable channels I watch and antennas in the attic to replace the local channels. I subscribed to the 300MB internet service, but you can get away with less. The Roku devices I bought seem to also do 4K SUHD very well.

What is the list or all of the video On Demand applications that this TIVO has. I see Netflix and Hulu Plus . But what about Sling and Amazon to name some that I'm interested in.

Sling is not available on the OTA yet. But Amazon Prime is. Love my Tivo OTA. If you want Sling, until Sling makes it available on the Tivo Platform, try a Roku.. I did and it works great and when Sling makes their service available on Tivo, you can move the Roku to another set...

I am moving out of state; can I take the unit with me and just hook it up in the new location? My billing account will not be changing.

I'm sure you can. The only change will be the channels you can receive on your TIVO.
