We're on the Roku wagon!

they have the roku 2 xs at cost co for $89.99, which includes 2 free months of hulu plus. pretty impressive little box so far. i love some of the apps they offer, like vimeo so i can view the HD vids i uploaded on our nice flat screen.

we still have quite a few shows to clear off our old dvr before we cut the cord and send att their box back. but i think i'll handle no cable a lot better than i thought.

    I thought no cable was going to be horrible, but I honestly don't miss it at all. I can't imagine choosing to go back, now that we've cancelled it!

    i was without cable from 2003-2006, and what i didn't have, i didn't miss. the extra $80-100/month will feel pretty good too.

    I know you can stream the usual shows (modern fam, etc) but do you know if you can get stuff like the news and sportscenter? I like watching the nightly news, MH might die without SC:)

    so there's a free ESPN thing on the roku newscaster. looks like these are news clips, podcasts or audio of certain programs.  i haven't found a definitive program guide for these channels yet, but i think it's just a matter of time. https://www.rokuguide.com/channels/roku-newscaster

    for news, there are both a CNBC and NBC news channels. under roku newscaster is CNN and the other major networks news programs. don't forget that you can still access your over-the-air network channels, so if you're able to rig up a DVR function with a computer, you could record stuff from over an antennae to watch anytime you want.
