Great Streaming Device

Needed to test a streaming device for installation at a vacation home which we only use 3-4 weeks a year, so that we can cancel the monthly satellite subscription. The Roku has pretty much everything you need without favoring one type of content (e.g. like a streaming device that's sold by a huge online retailer whose name is the same as a major South American river). Tons of free add-on apps and content, plus all of the major online streaming services. We love it!

This is the third one of these I have bought. Good memory, SSD boot drive for fast startups, separate data drive, dual HDMI (although only Intel HD graphics), and an actual CD drive. It's not a serious gaming PC by any means, but for overall day-to-day use you can't beat it, especially if you can get it when it's on sale.

Just needed a very basic PCI Express video card to get a friend's PC back up and running again. This did the trick and all is well.

Bought this TV to put in our kitchen/dining room area. It's a good mid-level model of Smart TV. We have four other Samsung TV's of various sizes and ages, and this one performs similar to the others. You just really can't beat Samsung for consistent quality for a reasonable price.

Have always used the type covers with my Surface products. This is a little better than the keyboard for my original Surface, since the keys are spaced farther apart. Only complaint is that the touchpad is really sensitive, but not a big deal.

Interpreting the LED on drive cover
What do the different modes of the LED mean?
On, Blinking at different rates, etc
I missplaced the manual. Thanks!

In general, rapid blinking on any drives indicates activity. A steady light is usually just indicating power and/or idle. Some drives will have a slow blink to indicate inactivity and/or sleep mode.

Sonos Connect: Add new features to your old stereo or home theater equipment; use this Sonos Connect component to integrate your external amplifier, receiver or powered speaker into a wireless audio system.
Can both outputs (digital and analog) function simultaneously?
I'd like to hook this up to an FM transmitter (because my property is too big for WiFi or the Sonos network to reach my garage) and also to a receiver/speaker system in my house. This requires two outputs. Can the Connect provide output to both digital and analog connections (using the same stream) simultaneously? Thanks!
No. You can have two inputs to the Connect, but it can only "broadcast" one or the other.

Sonos Connect: Add new features to your old stereo or home theater equipment; use this Sonos Connect component to integrate your external amplifier, receiver or powered speaker into a wireless audio system.
I have a complete home stereo system. I'm only looking to add wireless satellite speakers
I have an amp that is the center of my complete home AV system. The sources broadcast from the amp are AM/FM, TV, CD, Spotify and Pandora, The Denon amp has WiFi and LAN connections and receives Bluetooth.
I have wired main speakers in the living room. I'm only looking to add one wireless satellite speaker each in to two rooms.
I typically will play the same content to all rooms. My WiFi signal is quite strong throughout the house.
Are two Sonos speakers the only equipment I need? Which models?
Or do I need the Sonos Connect with 2 Sonos speakers?

Sonos. Without a doubt, the best wireless audio equipment that is out there. Pricey, but well worth it and you won't regret it.
You shouldn't need the Sonos Connect if your receiver has wireless "broadcasting" capability. The wireless Sonos speakers can connect to whatever wireless broadcast source you specify.
If not, then you can hook up a Sonos Connect to your receiver and use it as an input source (though I don't think that will be necessary).

Will this router work with Centurylink?
Centurylink using old phone line for internet, do I have to use their modem/router or does Netgear have something that will work?
The router will work with any ISP provider. The issue wouldn't be the router, but your modem (note: this is a router only and does not have a built-in modem). So the question would be whether the modem you have will work with a given provider (if you have your own modem). Otherwise the provider will usually supply the modem.

Sonos Connect: Add new features to your old stereo or home theater equipment; use this Sonos Connect component to integrate your external amplifier, receiver or powered speaker into a wireless audio system.
The sonos connect is what I would start with to able to hear my XM radio throughout my house?
The Connect would send the audio to the my Uverse router? The Uverse router would wirelessly connect to Sonos speakers I would place throughout the house?
Not exactly. The Sonos Connect and the speakers would all use your Wi-Fi network to "talk" to each other. The Connect would then send the audio signals directly to the speakers via the Wi-Fi network.

IF YOU HAVE YOUR SYSTEM CONNECTED TO CONNECT IN 1 ROOM HOW CAN YOU UTILIZE IT IN OTHER AREAS ?
If you have more than one Sonos (i.e. you have one in each room) you just use the Sonos app to "group" rooms together and they will all play the same thing at the same time.
