“They should call it something cooler like “iCable TV” since that’s all these streaming services have become.”

The word ‘cable’ is anathema these days. But I agree with the i-something.

Roku does it almost as smoothly as Apple, there’s TONS of gun channels on Roku that Apple probably doesn’t have all (I know, they have GunTalk and the NRA channel), and my money isn’t going in Apple’s/Cooks pockets so they can subsidize homo agenda, the SPLC and Louis Farrakhan.

“What makes you think that Apple has been doing this”

B/c they did it to 300 million Chinese customers, they’ll eventually do it to us.

And don’t bother saying all those reports are wrong, THE FREAKING NY TIMES is even talking about it

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/23/opinion/apple-china-data.html

And thats not even talking about how Apple pulled ALL VPN apps out of the Chinese store.

Chicomms probably have pics of Cook doing his gay thing.

But, will it stream to my pedestrian Vizio?

Or will I have to buy some overpriced Apple gizmo so I can pay them for their streaming content?

I really don’t use it for the Apple programs and apps. One thing that would be nice is if it had a web browser so I would have to total freedom to go wherever I wanted to. But maybe that is by design — to keep me captive and encourage me to spend money with Apple.

Either way, it has been really nice dumping Cable TV. The government, state-local-feds?, all get their cut of the cable TV pie with tons of taxes and fees. $30 to $40.

“One thing that would be nice is if it had a web browser so I would have to total freedom to go wherever I wanted to. But “

if you have an iphone or a Macintosh, Apple TV makes it easy to stream whatever you’re looking at in Safari on your phone or computer onto your TV.

Roku doesn’t have that for Mac, though maybe it can be done with the Chrome browser.

Hell, the NSA is already storing every email you send and receive and every web page you visit.

Don’t have a Mac nor an iPhone. I am not a huge fan of Apple for historical reasons.
