    Finally got it going. Had to do a hard reset which is tough when your reset button has broken off.

    Roku 3 won't restart

    Is anyone else having trouble with their Roku? My wife was having issue with Netflix so she unplugged the Roku to reset it. Now it is stuck at the dancing Roku logo. The Roku is dancing but not moving beyond that point.

    Programming ideas on ROKU without Netflix etc

    With the free version of Plex configured between the roku and my laptop I can watch the last few episodes of shows on nbc, cbs, cw and some other networks.

    Is my ROKU obsolete?

    I had the 2 and upgraded to the 3. The 3 is a little faster but I wouldn't call the 2 obsolete.

    Trouble with Firefox

    Do you use the Adblock plus addon? It is available for both browsers but it is much more effective in Firefox. Give it a test run with some of the pages you go to often. Try each browser without Adblock. Then try each browser with Adblock. I did this a long time ago and reported my results...

    Trouble with Firefox

    This worked for me: With Firefox fully closed, you can hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Reset). If Firefox is visible, go ahead and disable Firefox's use of hardware acceleration as a workaround for a possible graphics...

    Trouble with Firefox

    I set up firefox for the first time on a samsung laptop running Windows 7 at work yesterday. I experienced the same black window as you. I'm not sure what happened but it cleared its self up after a few minutes unexpectedly. I went home a few minutes later so I didn't have a chance to tinker...

    HTPCs

    I've tried a bunch of stuff over the years. Roku with Netflix and Plex provides me with plenty of content and you don't need to dedicate a computer to it. Plex runs unobtrusively in the background on my laptop feeding content to the Roku while I use the laptop to check facebook or play simple...

    Roku 3 audio deep or high pitched

    Every now and then this issue still pops up. I'm skeptical that deleting and reinstalling a channel would solve the problem because if it is happening on Netflix it is also happening on Plex and vice versa until I unplug the unit and reboot it.

    Where is my Plex Queue?

    I had a roku 2. On my computer I could click on "plex it" on a webpage with a video. This would capture the video and I could then watch it on my roku 2 by finding it in my queue. I upgraded to a roku3. Where is my queue? I don't see it. I don't see a video after I capture it.

    Roku 3 audio deep or high pitched

    It is wifi. Using a cable isn't practical the way our house is laid out.

    Roku 3 audio deep or high pitched

    The audio on my roku3 sometimes is deeper or higher pitched than it should be. Unplugging it to restart it usually works but doing that is a pain in the butt.

    Firefox Gets a Brand New, Even More Customizable Design

    I have been using firefox for a long time and it has always been easy to rearrange everything, until now. In this version certain things that were movable aren't anymore and its pissing me off. I usually put the contents of the bookmarks toolbar and the address bar in the menu bar and then...

    Chrome OS to replace XP on an old machine?

    In my experience dell xp sp3 disks will work on any computer that has an xp coa sticker. You just have to match a home disk with a home coa or a pro disk with a pro coa. Anyone running xp, I'd recommend they upgrade, especially if they are going to do a fresh install anyway.

    Chrome OS to replace XP on an old machine?

    Buy a Dell xp sp3 disk and use it with your xp coa. You can find them on ebay and other places for $5-20. Make sure you use a home disk with a home coa and a pro disk with a pro coa. Other than that don't worry if you have a HP or some other brand computer. It will work...

    Chrome OS to replace XP on an old machine?

    I know some people are buying new chromebooks. With the end of support of XP can the chrome OS be installed on these old machines that were running xp? I know some of you would lean me toward linux but I don't see people buying linux computers for home use. I do see them buying chromebooks.

    Cheapest device that runs XBMC and plugs into tv HDMI port?

    Used apple tv 1st gen? I wasn't real impressed with xbmc in general after trying it on an apple tv and a htpc. I went with a roku for netflix and plex. Plex on the roku has a lot of the content I was looking for. You do need a pc to be the server but you can do all the controlling on the...
