Would love to know more, too. Also, how do they compare when going abroad?

[RBW] Re: Totally OT, but no TV

2018-06-15 Thread Arthur Mayfield


I cut the cable about a month ago. My setup is a Roku stick plugged into my 
tv and high speed internet over a DSL connection. I am mostly 
Apple-centric, but decided to go with Roku after some internet research. 
I'm still learning to use the system, but I've been happy so far. I already 
had Netflix and Amazon Prime accounts, and am a PBS sustainer, so those are 
my main sources. I added the Acorn channel to Prime for British and Aussie 
shows. There are a lot (thousands) of free channels on Roku, but most are 
either old tv/movies, or for specific interests. ABC offers a free channel, 
but you have to wait a week after they air their shows live. NBC is much 
the same. CBS is subscription. I get my current news via the internet, so 
Roku is providing me with far more than I have time to watch.

Feel free to PM me for more info, but I work in a (very) related field, and 
I will go to bat for the Roku.

If you want more info and my input doesn't strike the collective as too far 
OT or quasi-shilling (disclosure: I am a reseller for both devices by 
virtue of my profession), I'm happy to post it here.
