Thanks, everyone, for the quick replies! Roy

My wife and I are looking for a new smartphone carrier. A neighbor has suggested US Mobile, which, among other things, would cost us only $20 per month, per phone. Is anyone familiar with this company? Here's a recent review: https://www.whistleout.com/CellPhones/Reviews/us-mobile-review...

My wife and I are thinking of purchasing the Jitterbug 3 smartphone from Lively-Direct. We are already subscribing to their phone & emergency services. Has anyone here been using the Jitterbug 3, and how would you rate its performance, features, etc.? Thank you, Roy and Jean Troxel

For Christmas, I received a set of Meta 2 goggles, plus hand grips. To my surprise, however, the set did not come with an instruction book. After searching online, I concluded that you have to sort of visit forums and the like, and figure the thing out for yourself. Does anyone here know of a...

Thank you! I will work with that for a while. Roy

I'm not on cable. I get a signal from DirecTV's satellite, via the receiver on my roof. How does something like Roku receive its signal? Via satellite? Roy.

Yes, I remember, but I'm still confused. One of my TVs finally appeared on the wi-fi network, but I didn't know what to do next. This week, I was thinking that something new and simpler might have been invented, so I posted my question again. The learning curve (for me) is a long one. I'm...

Yes, that's about what I'm paying. Should I ask them if they provide a USB stick? Roy

Thank you all for the many quick replies.:) I'm not really interested in streaming. I have an account with DirecTV satellite service and I like their line up of channels. However, it appears that DirecTV doesn't have a chip or "stick" for their services. Oh, well, Roy

Are there any TV manufacturers currently developing TV sets that can be part of a home wi-fi network? Or maybe the manufacturers could make a wi-fi chip that can be inserted into the TVs, which would link the TVs to the wi-fi.) We currently have 3 sets that use 2 or 3 cables each, and I'd...

Hi, everyone, Thanks for the quick replies. To answer one question: I posted this because I wasn't sure what the scanner's use is. I had no special plans for it. I like to keep up with the current IT, and I was thinking that maybe I was missing out on something. My conclusion is that I don't...

This is the hand scanner that is being sold on Amazon...

I've noticed in the past 2 years that the hand scanner graphics are appearing on magazines, food cans, checkout lines, etc.. Is it worth purchasing a hand scanner, as this trend continues? I realize that some smartphones have the ability to scan the graphics, but I don't feel like buying one of...

Thanks to all of you! I've downloaded AdBlocker and it seems to be doing the job. Roy

As most of you know, those awful pop-ups and other web ads are getting bigger and bolder. Some of them cover half a page. You can block them for a few seconds, but as soon as you scroll a page, they're up again. Consequently, I would like to hear others' experiences with ad-blocking...
