all that is there now plus more church stations than AM radio
For us it’s both, not one replacing the other.
If your tethering, the cellphone companies will charge you,for coming and going, where your cell phone is concerned. Downloading from the tower, then downloading onto your device. It’s no problem, if you can keep your data to within your plan, but if you go over, the overcharges are just huge.
I have an opinion about porn and its effect on the internet. Get out of its way.
And we have 3 DVRs. Another reason to put up with cable bundling.
Yes you can, windows Media Player has a feature to record TV and there are various programs that do it too, they have video cards that have TV tuners too for over air HD antennas, also, the LCD TV’s today have both HDMI input and the older DVI standard that older computers used, it truly is a great set up, funny, I used to be a cable guy too, ha,ha, I hated seeing how customers had to pay out a hundreds of dollars for entertainment, especially those who couldn’t afford it, the internet is a gift from God, it truly empowers the individual in a way that is truly astounding, the cable industry can no longer dictate which channels to carry, the phone companies and wireless providers are laying the ground work to compete, the cable industry will be forced to change or die like the corrupt monopoly they are!
Thanks, I may take that path, right now by browbeating the cable co with the possibility of a switch to U-verse my costs aren’t too bad. But I continue to look at alternatives.
I have DSL with download speeds of 2.4. What do you need for decent Roku usage?
What about connecting to the Internet via power lines? I read some stuff about that but nothing recently.
Cable just isn’t in the TV business, it’s into the internet service provider and internet phone business.
We have Roku over cable internet service.
Satellite needs to cut their price for internet service. Speed is up to 15 now.
"Content development"?
Freepers create content for free, for the love of country.
Just hang out on FR and ignore TV.
Netflix was down, but that was do to an issue with the Amazon cloud.Apparently Netflix uses it.
However, all my other Roku channels worked. I checked Crackle, Popcorn and the other public domain movie channels. Even watched a wonderfully dreadful space flick with Lloyd Bridges, Noah Beery, Jr, and Hugh O’Brien after the family went to bed.
That’s still experimental. However, regardless of whom you deal with, you’re still going to have to deal with the provider. :)
I happen to be a big fan of Rugby... Anyway of seeing it online?? I do like the new BEIN network..
Yeah, go here:

Surf British TV.
Too bad the future is also the telcos charging more and more for less and less bandwidth. Those here who cried that net neutrality was evil are sure enjoying busting their caps on a couple netflix streams.
