Works great thus far -- knock on wood...

Purchased this HDD just before disk drive prices began to skyrocket; I felt lucky to get it.  It was used for a new PC build.  I tried to get another one at the same time from another vendor, and the order was cancelled.  I'm happy that Amazon was able to fulfill my order.  The HDD runs quiet, does the job well, and was fairly easy to install.  I'd recommend it for others as well, but would advise waiting (if possible) until the HDD prices come back down to more reasonable levels.  I've read plenty of reviews, and know of some concerns with HDDs having problems a few months after operation.  So, since this one has been alive less than I month, I'm monitoring for anything that might develop in the near term.

I usually don't write reviews, but when a product works as expected out of the box (which is rather rare these days), I feel compelled to let others know so they can make an informed decision.

I purchased this kit so I could connect a single Comcast digital cable box to three TVs via a 3-way splitter and control the cable box from any of the 3 separate TV locations.  After connecting the cable box to coax in the basement, I unpacked the Powermids, placed the metal antenna receiver 8 inches in front of the cable box, and placed the non-antenna transmitter on top of my master bedroom TV two floors up (through drop-ceiling tile, sub-floor insulation, 3/4 inch plywood, oak wood flooring, a few walls, more 3/4 inch plywood, thick carpeting, and another wall).

With the upstairs bedroom TV on and set to channel 3, and the cable box remote in hand, I hit the cable box power button and voila - Comcast guide.  I tried a few functions (channel surfing, menu options, etc) - everything worked as if the box was directly connected to the TV.

I then went back down to the basement (with transmitter in hand for testing) and turned on the other two TVs.  As expected, they both showed the same screen as the TV in the upstairs bedroom.  I then plugged in the transmitter next to one of the TVs, waited two seconds, then hit a few more buttons on the remote.  Again, the screen changed as expected.

So, in summary, these boxes are plug-and-play and they work as expected.  They work so well that I just ordered another kit to have a transmitter in the basement (it was cheaper to order another kit and have a spare receiver than it was to just purchase a transmitter).  Good luck!

This product works well, and picks up the signal beautifully when it works. And it can seek channels out.

My only peeve is, every once in a while the product just shuts down. It could be because I did leave this product out in the frost one night - so not sure if it is indeed the product's fault. Since that fateful night was the second night after I got this product, I don't know if it was indeed working fine when I got it, or if it was faulty to begin with... so, that's my two cents.

Update 10/3/2012
So I got frustrated enough with it turning off and losing my presets and decided to open it up and see where's the lose contact. Upon opening however, I found that the interior is one solid product, and there was no place which gave a possibility for lose connections. So then I took a closer look at the battery and realzied, my loose contact was because the battery had a lot of wiggle room, and so the negative terminals were slipping off the contact springs. Wedging the contact spring properly below the -ve terminals, and packing a bit of paper in the battery compartment to stop the batteries from wiggling solved the loose contact problem.

Therefore updating the review from 4 stars to 5 stars. I'm happy with the product and it's well worth the money I spent on it !!

So far, this seems to do its job. I bought this because my Windows 10 was updating, the power went off, and then my computer would never reboot. Always got an error screen and it wouldn't recover, so I had to do a fresh Windows 10 install, drag.

The management software that I downloaded says there has been no service interruption in the 8 weeks that I've had it, but I was using it one night and the power fluctuated a couple of times and I heard it clicking on so it seems to be ready to do its job. I unplugged it with a light plugged into it and it worked. The only complaint is that it looked like it had been handled a little rough when I got it out of the box. The case had some scratches, especially around the plugs. I don't know if it's because of not so tender handling while building or testing, but it made me a little concerned that maybe this was a return. I suppose maybe they may reuse cases from returns. Whatever the reason, it does seem to be working well.

This isn't big enough if you want to run your computer for a while with the power off. The software says it would give about 10-12 minutes of power. You can set the software to shutdown your computer right away if the power goes off or you can set a delay. The delay is nice because it would give you a chance to save what you might be working on if you're at the computer when the power goes off.

It has a usb port, so it would charge phones or tablets in a pinch.

Working well so far... It had issues connecting to my (ASUS) WiFi from 20' away but luckily I had another access point (TP-LINK) to swap it out with that it connects to. Any connection problems seem to be related to the access point. They even mention it in the manual that it's kinda picky.

If you install the SkyBell without an existing doorbell, they say you need a 10 Ohm 10 Watt resistor. I tried a 1/4 watt resistor, it completely burned up. you'll need something like this:&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/uxcell-5-20W-Watt-10-Ohm-Ceramic-Cement-Power-Resistors-2-Pcs/dp/B0087YHQLW/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">uxcell 5% 20W Watt 10 Ohm Ceramic Cement Power Resistors 2 Pcs</a>

Also the set screw is a headache to turn with the itty-bitty hex wrench. Screw it out to the edge of the frame before screwing the plate in to the wall so you don't have to struggle with it for too long.

I hope to see great improvements with future firmware updates.

Simple to install and works surprisingly well !

So far it works great! I gave it a solid 4 stars because it seems to be a great product. What I like about this one is that the doorbell button actually looks something like a traditional doorbell. There are 2 reasons, however, that it is not a 5-star product: (1) It's great that there are 50 or so jingles to choose from, but it is inconvenient that you can only roll through them in one direction. So if you decide you liked the jingle you heard 2 jingles ago, you have to select through the next 48 jingles before you can select that one. (2) The battery is not a typical one, so I may not have one handy when this one dies.

Neat addition to a desk setup.  Requires external power.  Beware if you are planning to drill a hole to insert this in -- it's pretty touchy.  The hole-drilling-bit I used wasn't _quite_ the right size and I spent some time and tense moments customizing the hole.  It installs by placing a circular sleeve in the hole in the desk, then placing the USB-hub-section in and rotating it 90 degrees.  The hole in the desk needs to be pretty much perfectly round (easy with a factory-drilled hole, hard to do with a hand-drill and dull bit) or the sleeve will distort and the hub will bind up.

Don't underestimate this, though -- everything worked well once the hole in the table was correctly dimensioned.  Neat device, works as advertised.  Comes with software drivers, I think, though I don't recall actually needing it for my computer.

I purchased this to send my cable DVR signal from the first floor to a second floor room without a cable jack.  I had the device up and running in about five minutes after the box arrived.  As others have mentioned, you can basically ignore the instructions about positioning and just plug the thing in.  I am able to access all of the features of the connected DVR (recorded programs, etc).  The transmitter is positioned within three feet of a 5.8 GHz phone and thus far I have had no significant interference problems.  The occasional interference that I have experienced has been brief and minor, and possibly in relation to something happening outside of my house.  I've only had this for 24 hours, but thus far I am completely pleased.  This device does the job with minimal effort.

Just started using it, but so far works great.

So far, so good!  It works well as an HDMI switch and I have not had a problem with the PIP (although that really isn't a function I utilize.)

There are two (minor) cons... the 'generic' remote is a little confusing with buttons that have no function.  However, the bigger issue, I can find now power switch or button.  As this is in use in the bedroom, the lights being on all the time can be quite a distraction.  Not sure why this omission, but if I want to power it down, I have to pull the power plug.  Didn't have that oversight with the switch this Etekcity replaced, so I took one star away from a top rating.

Works great, easy to install.  The finish on the wood is not quite complete, there is a small area around the perimeter where it butts up to the wall that is not coated with finish.  It's not very noticeable while hanging on the wall, but still, why???

It took me a while to get around to it, but I finally installed this system.  I didn't install the window piece, just the motion detector and the main console.  It wasn't too hard and took less than an hour.

It seems to work fine; when triggered it calls my cell phone like it is supposed to.  It does seem to go quiet pretty quickly and I haven't found out how to adjust that.

The motion detector is pointed at some windows, but there have been no false alarms thus far.

Plusses - low cost, relatively simple installation, does what I expected.

Minuses - quick to shut itself off (may be adjustable; don't know).  Base unit not all that loud.

Met my needs...

Hasn't failed me yet. Minor cosmetic repairs but no major repairs or break down. Knock on wood
