The same to you, ArGee!

I’ve spent more than a little time this morning trying to set up the Roku, and according to what I’ve read and done, it shouldn’t be as hard as it is. My thought is that somehow, the cable TV company that I’m getting ready to opt out of (it was “included” in the rent for a “small fee”) evidently has a firewall to prevent streaming any other programs.

So if that is the case, I need to cancel that one sooner rather than later, so I can get the Roku to respond. I’ve written a letter to Chuck telling him I’m opting out, but according to what he said yesterday, he’s waiting for me to make up my mind because they have changed their minds about the channels they were going to cancel and decided to keep them. What?

So I installed Sling on the laptop and will start watching a few things, since I have until March 23 to decide if I want to keep it or go with another company. As if I don’t have enough things to do to keep me out of bars and off the streets! :o])

I don’t go to bars much, either.

I have never set up a Roku and I don’t have a SMART TV. So I would have to hunt down destructions if I were going to try such things.

For now, I just HDMI my laptop to the TV when I want to watch something.
