    switch or what?

    Thanks for the input. I actually have a nettalk duo which is similar to ooma. It was about $50 and a waste of money because they misled you into believing you could port your phone number and they say they can't transfer mine for some reason. It was partly my fault though as I didn't check into...

    switch or what?

    Yea, I'm estimating the cable part of my bill is around $80 or so and that is crazy for the small amount of channels and time I watch tv. I was looking into the Century link triple play and it doesn't make sense since it says the internet is about $20, direct tv about $35 and phone about $40 and...

    switch or what?

    I've had my Roku for several months now and had planned on ditching cable and tried leaving it off for a couple weeks, but the Roku just doesn't seem to cut it for watching current episodes of certain shows that keep starting up about the time I think about cancelling. I recently lost my 2nd job...

    new computer?

    I've about had it with my 10 year old computer. I've already added all the RAM I can and had it fixed for viruses twice in the past several years, but now it is locking up when on the internet frequently and takes forever to boot back up. So I finally found what looks like a decent computer for...

    Which streaming box to get

    I still don't understand what the use of the TWC app is if you already have the cable service? From what I understand it won't work if you cancel your cable service. Is there something to it can replace the digital box from TWC and thus saving you the rental fee, which is what around $8/month...

    Internet and phone?

    Yes, I need my land line since I don't have a cell phone. I have the digital phone which is the same as VOIP I believe. I actually got a nettalk duo also. It was about $65 and gives you free calling for the first year, but I'm not using it because they mislead their advertising in which they...

    Internet and phone?

    I'm a current subscriber of the expanded basic cable/internet/digital phone bundle and pay about $135/month and have to cut that down to about half due to hours being cut at work. After numerous tries to get a better promotion, they only lowered my bill by about $8/m. I recently picked up a Roku...

    Which streaming box to get

    What I meant was will I have to let the roku find the router again to connect if I unplug for a few seconds? Yes, the second question had to do with if I get a new computer, I guess it doesn't matter with the roku, but I'll have to load the router up to it so I hope it doesn't mess any settings...

    Which streaming box to get

    I ended up getting a Roku 2XS. Its alright I guess, I just should have searched more on what you can really watch. I was under the assumption you could watch anything that you could stream on the computer. It turns out you can't watch the current season of many newer shows (like the walking...

    Here's the Roku 3!

    Wow, your right no remote unless you buy it separately. I wonder if I should pick up an XS before they sell out or will they be an obsolete model? btw, I heard an HDMI converter might work with the Roku3 if you have an older tv?

    what to get?

    I still don't know what to get. I'm thinking maybe just go back to dish since they have a special of $20 a month right now for the basic package or 25 for the top 120. There is one supplier that gives you 100 back and Direct 200, but they are more expensive. The only thing I don't like is the...

    Here's the Roku 3!

    Yeah, I just noticed they are not selling the XS anymore on their site. I bet you can still get it on ebay or amazon for awhile though. I wonder what the main difference is between the XD and XS and if its worth getting? It doesn't look like I can get the 3 since I have an older tv.

    what to get?

    So which device do you tend to use more jayn? I wish I could try a couple out for awhile before deciding. I heard the TiVo was decent too, but I believe you have to pay a small fee every month for that.

    what to get?

    Hey guys, I need to cut some expenses and have been thinking of getting a streaming player like the Roku for some time now. I currently have Time Warner with the bundle of phone, internet and tv. I usually call them up to get the latest package when the rates go up, but they recently stopped...
