Anyone own a roku and if so how do you like it. I just bought one today as a tsv. Its the roku with sound bar and says it will turn my Samsung flat screen into a smart tv. It has Disney plus which I have so hopefully can watch some movies in bed. Im a sucker for sales so hope this one was a good purchase. 89.99 on HSN.
Only have cable in the living room . Im only going for the free stuff.

Basically it is a device which let's your TV connect to your Wifi. It and a similar device from Google sell for about $30 but now several TVs are sold with it built-in. We bought one like that for our kitchen which allowed us to eliminate a cable box in the kitchen. An $89 one time payment for the new TV vs $7.95/month for a Spectrum box made the choice obvious. There is a lot of TV oontent available on-line, it depends on what you like to watch.

Im only going for the free stuff. That sounds kind of steep for a ROKU, maybe because it has a sound bar? We bought a smart tv with roku built in, signed up for HULU LIVE & are saving about $80/month on our Spectrum bill. The only thing I misx about Spectrum is the YES networl isn't included in the package so I can't watch Yankee games.  |

Its a soundbar. I returned it and got another one just a straight roku for 29.00. Suites me better. I only got it cause my tv in the bedroom is on antenna and antennae dropped QVC and HSN. (but now find out that my Spectrum App will play most stations on my iPad) I can always sell it on eBay. I did find a few movies I can go directly to and play without having to subscribe to them.

I do not have wifi they said I couldn't afford it. Most things today come with wifi built in. My PC has wifi and I bought that back in 2017. There is no cost for it you just have to have a compatible device. |

We have contemplated going to a streaming device and possibly an analog antenna to bring in the local channels. Now that I have purchased a new and better PC we may once again consider the options. Spectrum is a significant line item in our monthly budget. We have their bundle that covers land line phone, TV, and high speed internet. To eliminate the cost of cable tv would probably cut that bill by one half or better. Definitely something that we will be looking at in the near future. My old computer was too slow and bogged down with crap to even think about streaming movies or tv.

We get 19 channels on the tv's in the motorhome on the factory bow-tie rv antenna, right here in the driveway surrounded by hills. The last time we went camping we were getting 12 or more and we were in a deep gorge next to the river between two tall mountains.

I have cable with TWC but someone sent me a free HDTV antenna that I can stick on my window near my TV. I used it a few times when cable is down and I get about 6 or 7 channels which are the ones I basically watch. I still cannot figure out who would sent me this free over the air antenna. The wrapping was in Chinese. I do not know any Chinese people other than the one or two I contact with when ordering Chinese food take out like my favorite Moo goo gai pan. Now I have a craving for Moo goo gai pan.  |
