Roku Streambar: Installation and setup | S03E13

In today’s episode, we attach a Roku Streambar to an already-mounted TV. To do this, we needed to add a couple of brackets so the soundbar would look all nice and neat. After all the hardware is attached, we go through the setup to make sure audio is pumping through the new soundbar and NOT the TV speakers.

Update Stadia controller to Bluetooth! | S03E12

Stadia was Google’s attempt at streaming video games from the cloud to pretty much any device you wanted! It was a cool idea, but there were so many issues that Google pulled the plug on the service. So what do you do with your Stadia controllers if you still have them? You can update them to Bluetooth and then game with them on other devices!

In this episode, Iyaz finds out how easy it is (or isn’t) to make sure his Stadia controllers don’t turn into e-waste.
