“I never have much luck with any of those streaming services that embed commercial breaks. Crackle, Hulu, etc.

They will play about 1/2 of the program and then bog down after a commercial break and will not reload the content. When I exit out (have to reboot ROKU, sometimes) and try to move to the last location in the program, I get a dozen commercials. The hassle isn’t worth the frustration for ‘free with commercials’ channels. Netflix, Amazon Prime, and HBO GO do not seem to have that kind of problem.”

Agree 100%. I tried Crackle one time, and basically it’s impossible to get it to play anything to completion. Crackle is essentially a scam and I don’t understand how they even stay in business since I don’t see why anyone would attempt to use their “service” after trying it the first time.

I watch Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Acorn TV (British)

That accounts for 99% of my TV time. The exception is a rare sports event, major news item. For daily news, I read online and listen to both AM radio and XM Sirius which includes Fox News, etc.

I don’t often watch Fox, but I noticed this channel awhile back.

It's not a real channel -- it's only a Channeloid

Crackle is owned by Sony.

I love my Roku.

Agree with everything you wrote. I have one hooked up to my non-smart HDTV in the bedroom.

I wasn't going to bother until I saw your post, thanks! I found it for Amazon Fire TV, so I got the app. Hercules Unchained is on now. "I'm so sleepy I can barely keep awake!" heheh
