Roku anyone?

[cali~jenn]

S I just got my bday gift, a new roku! I only heard of one cuz I have a friend who loves theirs. It is like an online channel thingy for tv. Well, probably not the best description... You can watch Netflix thru it, amazon movies, it has podcasts, music, exercise channels, Disney, all kinds of things.i am still learning what all it does. Anyone here use a roku and what r your favorite channels?

Sorry... I don't have one. Just my Uverse with a bajillion channels on it and I only watch 3 or 4. The rest gets streamed through my media server.

How exciting, Jenn...my son wants us to get it, our cable company is retarded.
I don't watch 2/3rds or more of what they offer and to watch the FEW I do,
costs way to much. Let me know what you think and I'll watch this thread too.

Happy Birthday, dear friend...GOD's Blessings!

Hello Chris, welcome to EBN!

Concerning the above, do you have a fav & why?

I'm done w/Time Warner Cable and the expense for the very few shows I watch.

Thank you!

​Jenn, how goes it so far? I've got to do something else, cable bill is killing me!

Hi Carol:

A lot of the channels, I like for various different reasons. I like netflix for their movies/tv shows, and it has no commercials, but the selection of movies/tv shows on netflix are limited. It really varies from month to month, I'd have to say.

Overall, i like the interface better on the roku than say, AppleTV. The only thing Apple that i own in my household is an iphone. Other than that, my wife and I are pretty anti-apple.

There are certain streaming websites that have most cable TV shows up and running. Quality is not the best, but better than paying $30/month for HBO. If you'd like to know more, PM me, and ill be more than happy to point you towards the right direction.
