sigh killed the cable but we got a Roku..
« on: February 09, 2017, 01:38:50 PM »
 due to expenses we got rid of our cable because we can't afford it, and was waiting for taxes to get a Roku, went with the Streaming Stick and so far Youtube looks wonderful on our tv lol oh and if you have gotten one and had issues with connecting to your network, go into the screen and disable pings it fixed the error for me.

so one if the tests I ran to make sure sound and stuff was working right, is I watched Moon Rises and it is GORGEOUS on my tv  went to watch Lullaby... and it ..actually kind of pales -shrug- stiill enjoy it I just.. don't care for how the animator did things like the hair other wise its good.

We have a Roku with every tv in the house and just watch Netflix and Hulu for the most part. Cable is so pricey nowadays!

yeah it was over 100.oo for just a few more channels than basic and a dvr function since a lot of the shows we liked were on when we were at work or same time lol.

Chromecast in this household... we have 4 hard drives full of TV shows and anime so it's the only way to access it properly.

My husband and I got rid of cable several years ago and we don't really miss it. Was too expensive to keep flipping through hundreds of channels only to find nothing good on. Netflix, Youtube and Amazon Video for the win^^ We usually watch those through his Xbox 360 on our regular flatscreen and in the bedroom we have a smart TV with those on it.

We still have satellite TV - would get rid of it, but wireless internet is so expensive we can't watch anything bigger than a .gif.
