Great movie-within-a-movie...kind of.

Not much I want to say without spoiling plot points but this a movie about the making of a movie, and the discovery of what's true and what's not with some crazy characters and performances. It's a truly psychopathic movie and it's highly entertaining all the way through.

Tried generics and the Samsung brand is the best

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've tried a couple brands of generics to save money on the filters, but they usually have a odd flavor in the water. Also, they are a bit noisy when dispensing water. You can price match with online stores to save some money in-store, so just do that.

The best phone I've used.

Phone size:Just right
Verified Purchase:Yes
Honestly, Windows Phone 8.1 is fantastic. 8 wasn't bad either but the additional features of 8.1/cyan have made this phone about perfect.
Durable, good battery life, best phone camera, fast even though the model is a year old. Windows Phone is just fast. Really the only problem is there isn't as many apps as for Android phones or iPhones. But, MS/Nokia has a perfect opportunity to take the niche that belonged to Blackberry in the past. Full Office on the phone and full integration with my other Microsoft devices and computers really makes things easy.
This phone won't be available much longer but Windows Phone 8.1 should be definitely something to consider. It's faster and more stable than Android. It's faster on slower hardware than the iPhone. New phones will come out soon, and give them a try before just going with another iPhone or Galaxy.

The best of the wireless-N routers?

Posted by: donborvio

I use it in...:Small home
Verified Purchase:Yes
This router is fast, highly customizable with multiple 3rd party firmwares but still is $130. The 5GHz band still seems to be quirky, sometimes systems lose the connection or it drops down to 60Mbps and stays there until the system or router is rebooted. With the very latest shibby tomato firmware, this has improved a lot and happens a lot less for me. YMMV. I believe this is a firmware issue, so I will stick it out as it happens only occasionally now (once or twice every couple weeks).

If you were waiting to buy the original Robocop movies, then wait no longer. While not true 4K on disc, they were remastered in 4K then downconverted to 1080p and each movie is clean and sharp start to finish.
Do not pass if you see this on sale again! Or there will be trouble.

D3 was fun to play through the campaign, but I only died once even on hard (you can't play above that until you beat the game once). And that time it was my fault.
Then you get into the grinding, which feels like Diablo meets WoW. WoW seems to influence and infiltrate everything that Blizzard does now, and this is no exception. Only now you have to do it online! Even alone.
All that aside, it is fun to just click and smash some demons mindlessly for a while, so have fun with it but it won't get much more playtime from me even with the expansion.

Great reception from about ~35 miles!

If you live in Murfreesboro and want to reach Nashville's antennas (on the far West side of the city) or you live 30-40 miles from your antennas - this is the one to get. Point it in the right direction and mount on your house. Prefect signal on all channels. Got 43 vs 4 from the best indoor powered antenna I could find.
It does have a short mast and you have to drill into your house or on a pole to mount it, but you will get all the channels in clear and that's worth it. Will pay for itself in saved cable bills within 3 months.

Antenna doesn't live up to its claims!

Still probably one of the better indoor antennas, this thing does NOT reach 35 miles. I got 20 miles at best and even that was starting to cut out. I tried with an without the signal booster, all different types of placement in my home but nope.
If you live 20-40 miles from your local antennas consider an outdoor antenna like Clearstream's 2V also sold at Best Buy. I got 43 channels in clear vs 4 with this antenna. And it's the same price!
If you're in the 10-20 mile range though, this antenna will probably work great, but it is expensive and therefore cannot recommend it.

Do I need amp for 50' coax?

I'm placing this unit outside on a mast and it will be connected to a four room splitter. Will I need any kind of amplifier to get signals?
Nope, I have this setup split 3-ways and need no amp to get good signal. An amp may stabilize or help receive channels at the edge of its range (about 40-50 miles), but it is by no means requires.

I would like to know which specific cable I need to connect a blu ray dvd player that has a digital coax out to an analog tv with rca connections.

I already have video connected. I just need sound.
Saw your question. You need a digital to analog converter that will convert the digital signal to analog for your TV.

Here's one Best Buy sells through the marketplace:

Hope that helps.
