I’m with Beck on this one. He left and I will be doing so soon as well. I purchased the Roku device and like it well enough to find other sources to receive the programming I choose to watch. I am tired of scrolling down the long list of crap TV in the hopes of finding anything useful.
As I am involved with racing in a big way, I really want to retain Speed but will give it up. I’ll need to find subscriptions for the stuff I want to watch including SEC and college football on ESPN.
What is the Roku device?
How much can you watch on Roku? It looks interesting, but I wasn’t clear that you could get much beyond GBTV.
Can you stream straight from the internet on it and watch anything you can now watch on your computer? Or do you pay a monthly fee in addition?
We dropped DirecTV last June. We now have a Roku II, Netflix and GBTV (month-to-month). We went from $70/month with no premiums (dropped those years ago) to around $25/month. We keep the 1 DVD at a time just because not everything we like is streamed. Roku carries podcasts/vodcasts and other excerpts from many network news channels and keeps adding various channels every month.
We don’t miss it. I don’t even go to the FNC website very often. Between Drudge and FR and a few right wing blog sites, we get all the news and information we can handle. I used to have FNC or Fox Business on all the time in the background.
