Desi Cartman Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 It's only good if you buy into the whole Apple eco-system. Even then' date=' it has very limited selection of apps. For versatility and sheer number of choices, Roku 3 beats the hell out of any other streaming box.[/quote'] oh no, try using roku, it freezes the hell on every menu. and yes, I do have everything Apple, 4 years ago I hated everything apple as it was too expensive and not worth it.
Desi Cartman Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Apple TV isn't even top two streaming devices. Roku and andriod fire tv are top. Roku is the best considering the no of channels they have huge collection. Are you using roku older gens. They are a bit slow. Roku 3 is faster they also have miracast which is in beta available for 3 and streaming stick. Roku 3 is significantly faster than older gen and also rumor is they will releasing new roku next year Q1.but if you still want an Apple TV you should get it a staples for 74$ This week only.on top of that they have a 20% coupon in store only this week. Thanks :) Im mostly interested in airplay and apple tv is pretty good with that.
Gambit Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Google chromecast with a chrome extension plays all file formats. Much better than Apple TV.
maniac Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Thanks :) Im mostly interested in airplay and apple tv is pretty good with that. Which Smart TV do you have? I have LG and it syncs with both my Galaxy and my wife's Iphone to play Youtube videos and obviously it has atleast all the video APPS that I use on a regular basis like Netflix and VUDU...I play HBOGO through my PS3...so I never need another smart device to add more wires in the living room
Texy Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Are people really interested in Beats headphones?? They are nothing but marketing gimmick aimed towards teens. Also, they're designed predominantly for bass oriented music like hip hop. Buy some Sennheisers.

Also' date= they're designed predominantly for bass oriented music like hip hop. Buy some Sennheisers. Bose is obviously more classy but the comparable ones to Beats are little more pricier Sennheiser is good but very expensive and the cheaper ones either are too bulky for my liking or not the same config as beats Their colors are not too flashy and obviously when working out,You want a heavy bass

Texan Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 oh no, try using roku, it freezes the hell on every menu. and yes, I do have everything Apple, 4 years ago I hated everything apple as it was too expensive and not worth it. Are you using an earlier version of Roku? I have had the Roku 3 for more than a year now and it has rarely frozen. The menu changes are very fast and apps also load very quickly. I like that the remote does not require line of sight to the device. The remote uses your wifi network. I also like the fact that the Roku 3 has a USB slot (especially useful for older TVs that lack USB slots) that you can use to play videos that you have either recorded or downloaded. Add all of that to the huge, almost unlimited selection of apps and Roku 3 seems way ahead of the competition.

Laaloo Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 blackberry z30 unlocked from blackberry USD $225 :woot: I am so tempted to buy one even though I bought a z10 same time last year and its only been a year. Deal is too good to pass :hmmm:
Desi Cartman Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Now how does this stuff work ? This is my first thanksgiving in the US as for the last 2 years, I'm always on vacation at this time :). So all the deals are online ? At what time people order ? I don't want to go to a store but need to buy some stuff like a bike for my 4 yr old and maybe some clothes.
Texan Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Now how does this stuff work ? This is my first thanksgiving in the US as for the last 2 years, I'm always on vacation at this time :). So all the deals are online ? At what time people order ? I don't want to go to a store but need to buy some stuff like a bike for my 4 yr old and maybe some clothes. The best deals are on electronics and toys. Clothes usually are on sale many times in the year and the deals are usually not any better. If you are looking for the "doorbuster deals", you are probably already late because many people line up for those outside doors days in advance. As for online deals, they are usually not revealed in advance as against the deals found in brick and mortar stores. You will mostly have to just use some Google skills from Thursday to Monday to find which deal seems best. Keep in mind one more thing - often there are deals even later in December that tend to be better than even Black Friday offerings. I remember one year when I ordered a PS3 through a Black Friday online deal on Amazon and it was delivered defective. I had to return it for a refund and no exchange was offered since PS3 was out of stock then at Amazon. Later about two weeks later, I found an even better deal for exactly what I wanted at Walmart and it was just advertised in a local weekly ad, not even any big announcement.
