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.

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.

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.

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.

Can you stream ABC or ABC family shows on a roku with plex? I have found nbc, cbs and cw channels, but not abc. Am I missing any other major networks available with plex that have full episodes?

What's the scoop with plex and the roku? I installed it on my computer and on the roku then installed a few channels, supported and not supported. Is this a trial? Will I have to pay fo the roku plex channel after a certain amount of time? Is there any way to get the roku working better with...

Woot.com has the roku for $35 as its daily deal today.

http://www.woot.com/ Its a woot off, meaning this deal is only good until they sell out. Go! Go! Go!

Interesting. Roku's site used to list the different models such as LT, XD, XS. It now lists them as LT, Roku 1, 2, and 3. Then there's the roku stick. The Roku 2 on the Roku site has a remote with headphone jack but is not a motion controller for angry birds. In other words the old...

I just bought a used zotac mini pc. The hard drive has been wiped. It has a Windows Vista Home Premium w/OfrFrm OEM software sticker on the side. I'd never seen one. Aparently this would allow the person who bought it to upgrade for free to Windows 7. As you'd imagine, I'd like to install...

There are many different ways to skin a cat but if you want to watch videos from your laptop on your tv and control it from your chair, this is the easiest. Hook your laptop to your tv with a vga + sound cable or an hdmi and kick back with this little wireless keyboard/mouse that fits in your...

Are any of you Microsoft Refurbishers? What advantages are there to joining? What is the pricing for software once you've joined and how is it packaged? (For example, do you have to buy a dozen citizenship licenses at a time?)

I'm working on an lcd tv. There was one visibly bulging capacitor on the power supply board. I replaced it and the tv powered on but there is a high pitched screech coming from the replaced capacitor. I replaced it with another cap, and then another cap with exactly the same result. Any idea...

Any suggestions on the least expensive way to LEGALLY obtain Windows 7, regular or upgrade.

I upgraded to windows 8.1. I got an error message today. Something about avast not starting and defender taking over. After some research I found out that Windows 8 comes with Defender. Windows 8 defender is not just for malware, it is also an antivirus. When you install an antivirus...

Is there an fta receiver box that also streams netflix?

I have a dead macbook that I'd like to fix. I can't find a model # on it? It is white, says macbook near the screen. It has a rubbery bottom. It says rated 16.5v 3.65a IC 4324a-brcm1047 and the year 2009. The battery is not user removable. I don't see anything that looks like a model #...

I haven't done anything with my satellite gear in the last few years. We bought our first house a year ago and now that I am not renting I have more flexibility to put up as many free dishes as I can find. I understand that there are better boxes out there now but I have a sonicview 8000hd...

I bought a new HP pavilion g7 laptop. Although I've traditionally been a button guy I've decided to tap to click. Oddly enough about half the time I click I get the menu on the screen as though I've right clicked. There are a lot of smart people here. Can any of you guys give me specific...
