Hopefully support for more devices will come soon. My Roku should be arriving any day.

My Roku will be here on Friday.

If I would have ordered from Amazon and not ROKU, it might have been here today. No idea about ROKU shipping. Has to be better than the Fire I sent back after 2 days.

Amazon didn't have them up for order when I ordered mine, so I got it direct from Roku.

 

[gadgtfreek]

Yeah, I preordered a few weeks ago (Roku 4), was charged today so it must be shipping soon.

Too bad I can't stream UHD with my crappy HSI!!!

 

[teachsac]

They didn't. They are available now. Surprising since they are banning sales of chrome and apple.

Plenty of bandwidth here for me. 150 in theory, 130 in practice.

Best I can get is 6mbps (about 5.5 down in reality).

I did the same. I know mine is shipped because Roku has sent me 4 emails confirming!
Coming from Cali probably here Monday.

 

[gadgtfreek]

I was laughing at the 4 emails.

 

[teachsac]

They sent me three shipping notifications within an hour. All with the same tracking number.

You should get yours pretty quick.
Did you get a look at the new JVC projectors?

 

[teachsac]

Nope. I'll start looking for either a new projector or large TV next March/April when the new stuff starts coming out. E-shift is not appealing to me. I might look at Sonys or hopefully someone else will come out with a true 4K projector. Too bad Panasonic and Mitsubishi are out of the projector business.

Hopefully the Roku will be here Friday.

The 75" 940C did very well at the 2015 shootout, if a 75" isnt too small

I think samsung screwed the pooch with only making their large sets curved. Who knows what a 70+" Oled will come in as...

 

[teachsac]

Really looking 80 to 85. I'd take the 78JS9500 if it wasn't curved. If VIZIO was wise (back on topic), they would come out with an 80"-85" R series. Dumb to have nothing between the 65" and 120".

Anyways... Finally got a VUDU account. Put all of my UVs on and converted a bunch of my favorites for $1 a piece. Too bad not all studios participate in that one (Disney get a clue, I already bought the disc). Quality is really nice in HDX. I'm going to box up a bunch that I've already seen (Harry Potter, etc.) and keep the 3D discs. Ran out of a room a long time ago.

I was always impressed with Vudu HDX when I had their original box (downloads) and the PS3 (downloads). I was not happy when Vudu moved from downloads. Once again, my HSI kills me here for streaming speed and optical is my only solution. I will say whatever compression scheme Netflix is using, I get their 1080p when I stream and the PQ is very very good on the 65".

I give all my UV's to my dad.
