Anyone here use Roku? We’ve been thinking of doing that. Our DirecTV bill is $92 and we’re getting a discount because I complained about the high cost. We have not the basic package, but the one just above that.
I have a Roku ... love it. And with the Watch ESPN channel, I can watch all the World Cup I want, and anything else ESPN3 shows.
They have a lot of channels available that you can’t get on a smart TV.
I use Roku and I love it. There is even an ap for my cell phone to become my remote when I lose the remote. Netflix is my go to on the Roku:) I love the no commercials and I sometimes get addicted to a TV program and I watch all the episodes in one after another.
I have a Roku box and there’s no going back to overpriced cable TV for me.
I bought a Roku 3 last weekend. Took about 5 minutes to set it up and another 5 to load my credentials for Amazon Prime and NetFlix. Great user interface, easy to use, very small, even comes with in-ear headphones that plug into the remote for late-night listening. The remote has gyros and accelerometers built in, so you can use it to play games, too. It’s quite a gadget.
I can’t get rid of Comcast because my wife if an total sports junkie. It’s $1,000 or more down the drain every year. I’m perfectly happy with Prime and NF, my own DVD collection, and borrowing from the library. I do Tivo 24 and do capture some great old movies because it is searching for Directors and actors.
A FR movie discussion last week steered me to John Ford’s “The Sun Shines Bright” which I watched from YouTube. What a great movie.
I really have no need for TV any more. Of course, FR takes up a lot of time that the boob tube used to capture ;>)
