I have the Roku stick which is about $40, but I like Chromecast better for $35.

I was looking at the Roku website and I thought about getting the Roku box for $99. My TV is HDMI compatible so it should hook up ok.

I just wonder what kind of channels I'll get without paying for other services like Hulu or Netflix.

If you don’t mind waiting a couple days, then the various wireless dongles that let you tap into the Internet for show content are a pretty good deal, compared to staying with a cable or satellite dish company. And with the streaming now provided by a number of outlets that are normally available only on cable, really don’t have to miss much at all.

The cable and satellite dish companies lure you in with a really low introductory price, then three months, or twelve months, a sudden new protocol sets in, and either you pay the disconnect fee, or you resort to not paying them at all, come and disconnect. But make sure you don’t have them on automatic pay.

You thought divorce was hard.
