Rating:  - * Really Good 4 the Price ... This unit was better than most but could be better if Belkin would offer about three more frequencies. This unit does seem to connect to the station that is selected pretty good, even if it is a strong or week broadcast already on that station. Having a fresh strong new set of batteries in the unit helps to get better performance. The "Tunecast" also has low interference with good strong batteries. The audio cord coming from "TuneCast" for your mp3, or CD could stand to be a little bit longer but overall this was a good unit for the price. Rating:  - * not worth the money ... I picked up the item on a special deal, figured it was worth a try. I've had two major problems. First, you can only select between 4 frequencies. It just so happens that all 4 frequencies were somewhat 'occupied' in my area. Second, even when travelling where there frequencies are open, the transmission power of this thing is near zero. It would not work in the car, and even on my home stereo I pretty much had to have the antenna touching the transmitter to get a clear signal. I would recommend spending a little more money on a griffin model (I've had success with iTrip) or a higher quality belkin model (just guessing on this one). Good luck! Rating: - * Buy something else. ... Pros: It's cheap. I got 3 of them for about $10 dollars somewhere. Cons: A waste of my $10 dollars. Sound quality is fuzzy at best, even when it's sitting less than 5 feet away from the radio. Lot's of static if you even nudge the transmitter. Frequently *goes dead silent*; I have 3 units and they're all identical in this respect. I hate to say "you get what you pay for" because you don't even get that much with this thing. It is, however, a great gift to give to someone you don't like or want to irritate for a few hours. It's dead simple to set up and use, so when it doesn't work they'll start pulling out hair trying to figure out why until they realize that the unit just doesn't work as you'd think. Rating: - * Bad Product ... Brand new batteries, I had to sit with in two feet of the antenna. Then is worked fine. At any distance other than two feet it did not work at all. The signals coming in on 88.5 were practically non existent. For the folks that get this to work " more power to them " but really, this does not work. I gave it one star because I am not out that much money. I don't see how companies can put out stuff like this. Don't buy product. Thank you. Rating: - * Not worth the $15.00 i spent on it ... i bought on of this from Wal-Mart, and i wish i have just saved the money and spent it towards a better car adapter. the batteries die after about 3 or 4 hours (assuming you take them out, if you leave them in, they die overnight) and it's terrible at getting radio reception. when i drive from college to my house i change the radio station on it about 5 times in an hour and a half. |
Where the NBA Dynasty series (the other initial entry is the slightly meatier Los Angeles Lakers: The Complete History) outdoes Ultimate Jordan is in the six playoff games--one for each year--as they were originally broadcast, minus halftime and commercials. Having the nearly complete game (usually running 90-100 minutes, from the TV introductions to post-game interviews) means you can skip straight to John Paxson's clutch basket or what was expected to be the final shot of Jordan's career. Or you can savor each game in its entirety, all the better to appreciate the artistry of Jordan in his three-pointer barrage against Portland or his "flu game" against Utah. You can see other great players too, of course, including Jordan's teammates--Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant, Dennis Rodman--and those opponents unfortunate enough to face the Bulls--Clyde Drexler, Charles Barkley, John Stockton, Karl Malone, and others. Because these are all NBA Finals games, you won't see Jordan's shot over Craig Ehlo or his 63-point coming-out party against Boston, but the 1990s Chicago Bulls were a team for the ages, and merely having their games--some of them all-time classics--available for home viewing is a major milestone in archived sports. --David Horiuchi
While last-minute heroics tend to be the standard by which we define excellence, there are many other moments that have left an indelible impression, many of them highlighted here. The video clips fall into 10 categories: Dunks, Alley-oops, Assists, Steals, Blocks, Teamwork, the Clutch Shot, Moves, Hustle, and Buzzer-Beaters. At the beginning of each section is a brief introduction. Before showing the top 10 dunks of all time, for example, we learn about the evolution of the dunk--from the first slam to the man who could fly, Michael Jordan--and we hear background commentary from NBA legends such as Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, Dr. J, and Bill Russell. This video recalls familiar moments of NBA lore that you will want to own for countless repeat viewings. --Jeremy Storey
