Thank you! That worked great and now I have a backup remote built into my phone via the app. This information was really helpful!!!! I appreciate it so much as my toddler lost the remote and I was having trouble pairing a new one.

This article was a lifesaver, thank you! We have a nice old tv with composite(which I didn’t even know that’s what it’s called until reading this), and didn’t want to buy a whole new TV to use a firestick. You even included the links for the adapter and best firestick option for low resolution, which I will be buying both. Thanks so much!

This vacuum has changed our life! We are seniors, I’m 72, my husband is 73. Because of health problems I was no longer able to vacuum, so that chore fell to my husband of 54 years. While he tried his best, he couldn’t begin to clean as efficiently as our “Hazel”. She’s cleaned under beds and other areas that haven’t been cleaned in years! She has absolutely changed our life for the better. Not only does she clean, she also keeps us entertained. Best “employee “ we’ve ever had. Many thanks to who ever invented this wonderful machine! It was worth every penny!

Hey thanks for this! Helped me figure out my problem. Of course the problem is actually something else. But at least I can turn on my lights now. Lol

THANK YOU SO MUCH! To my elderly mum, tv is her lifeline when she’s home alone. Your trouble shooting steps helped me reset her tv & it’s up & running again. The steps were easy to follow, & well explained. I am not a geek, but I am the wife of one, & since he wasn’t available to help, I had to step up. I first browsed through the ‘Trouble Shooting’ section of the owner’s manual (NO HELP!), did a quick search online & your site popped up. Can’t thank you enough, I’m keeping your site handy from now on!

Thank you sooooo much for this article. I was able to set up my Roku on my portable dvd player using my hdmi to av converter. I am also able to use the setup in the car using my cellphone as a wifi hotspot. I wish I had thought of this myself, and a long time ago lol.
