Well made and comfy at a great price.
Really comfy chair. I have severe back pain due to cancer and this chair gives excellent support while on the computer. Very comfy too.
Logitech Harmony Elite Advanced TV and Home Entertainment Remote Control & Hub
21 August 2019
Good but not perfect.
Great product for anyone with multiple remote controls. I have a Home Cinema set up with numerous streaming devices, Dolby Atmos and home automation and the amount of controllers needed to use side by side was getting out of hand. This helps solve that. It's not always a perfect solution though as a lot of devices now are including voice control that requires you to use the mics in the original remote unit and this doesn't have a mic built in so cannot replicate those functions. If you use voice control a lot then this is probably not the right product for you. If Logitech bring out a version with a built in mic that can replicate the voice control functions of TV's and streaming boxes with Googles Assistant and/or Alexa built in then I'd buy it straight away.

Apple TV 4K 32GB (5th Generation) HD Media Streamer - A1842 - MQD22B/A
04 September 2019
Worth every pound!
Prior to my purchase it was difficult to understand just why the Apple TV 4K box was so much more expensive than any other option with same kind of features. I already owned a Fire TV 4K stick which on paper can do everything that one of these can. But I recently upgraded my home cinema set-up to include a Dolby Atmos sound system and wanted to be able to take advantage of the Atmos enabled programming on Netflix and Amazon Prime and that's where things get tricky as only a few devices actually provide the Atmos signal from these services. Even TV's and streaming devices (such as the Amazon Fire Stick) that are Dolby Atmos capable do not provide the Atmos signal on Netflix and Prime. Apparently in Netflix's case at least this is due to them getting paid by certain manufacturers to use Atmos for their devices. Out of my set-up the only device I have that allowed Dolby Atmos from the Netflix app is my Xbox One X and that's not a device I want to use on a daily basis for watching TV on. So I purchased the Apple TV 4K 32GB box (the internal storage is purely for apps so not much point buying the 64GB version as its unlikely most people will ever install that many apps to need it) and replaced the Fire TV 4K stick in my set-up with it. Now you might find when first loading up Netflix that it still appears that Dolby Atmos isn't working - for some reason you need to start playing a Dolby Atmos enable program and then the Dolby Atmos content will start being identified by the Dolby Atmos logo on the program details. The sound and video quality of anything you stream is superb. I find that Netflix and Prime streams look better through this than the same apps on other devices. So for the purpose I bought it for I am more than happy but an unexpected surprise is everything else. It's such a nice interface that brings together all your streaming platforms and apps into one interface and actually then pulls programmes to continue and suggestions on what to watch next along with content you have purchased through iTunes onto a front page. It's like a TV guide for every possible content you use and makes it so easy to continue watching the things you love across various different platforms. Another surprise was the great value of the movies in the iTunes Store. Most films are much cheaper than through other platforms and a lot of the content now includes Dolby Atmos sound and 4K HDR video and if you purchase something that doesn't currently have these features you automatically get upgraded to the best version if they add those features at a later date. With the latest movies between £9.99 to £13.99 in 4K HDR Dolby Vision with Dolby Atmos sound its a great alternative to £25 4K HDR Blu-ray Discs. Obviously the quality on a 4K Blu-ray Disc will always be superior to a stream for many films the difference wouldn't be noticeable unless played side by side and its a cheaper way to get 4K HDR with Dolby Atmos for the films you want a decent version of but don't need to own an expensive disc for. The remote you get is a stunner. Tiny, slim and typically Apple. Includes a built in Mic and you can use Siri to search across your platforms to find content. When you do search for content maybe surprisingly the Apple TV will always priorities the Free or Cheaper options first even if that costs Apple a sale through iTunes. It's great as you know you can trust the search results and won't then find it cheaper elsewhere. I can't really comment on the gaming features as I haven't tried them yet but there are also games in the App Store that you can buy and play. Many just using the included remote and some that you need to buy a compatible gamepad for - the good news there is they are adding in support for Xbox and PS4 pads soon so if you already own one of these you don't have to spend money on a new pad. In summary I absolutely love this box, the image and sound quality are the best I have found on any streaming device, the interface is like most Apple interfaces, just perfect, simple, functional and attractive and the build and design of the device and remote itself is again typically Apple, modern, simple and stylish. It's not cheap by any means but it's worth the money.
