Could streaming (such as via Roku) be the future of watching television?? The answer is yes and quite soon.. Or I should say it could very well be the future, the reason I say this is because the delivery system isn't quite up to par, however it is getting closer all the time. So there aren't any live channels are there?? Are there any live video streams at all?? Yes and with yesterdays events in Oklahoma I checked to see how many channels were showing it live.. The BBC dedicated two channels to it, CNN had it's two as well, RT had one showing it.. But it was the local channels that were showing live.. They have a section on nowhereman TV that has a live section now and channels like Denver KUSA show their news on the roku.. I also looked at Salt Lake City and Billings Montana just to see if they really are live.. So could they deliver the goods?? They can, but internet speeds need to get better and consistent.. Last week there was an announcement that some network would start streaming there programs.. This would be the first step for streaming programing.. The nowhereman channel on the roku brings so many channels it is just unbelievable..
So I came across a channel that I have had on the roku called GoDigital and found a movie I started watching there.. Then just to check I wanted to see if it was on Netflix and, there it was.. So I watched it on Netflix to avoid the commercials.. Normally I will watch the movie on whichever channel has it, but in this case I thought I'd be better off watching it on the Netflix.. The movie was called Rock Slyde and it is a sort of "b" movie wannabe but wasn't supposed to be.. It has that Patrick Warburton on it, and Andy Dick.. It's a fairly good movie, I liked it.. Kinda my sense of humor so I did like it.. and with all the shows I normally watch during the regular TV schedule about done for the season I am starting to watch more on the Roku.. Another thing that streaming players offer is VOD (Video On Demand) which is to say the video starts when you push play and pause or rewind or even fast forward which is something cable tv can't do unless you have DVR..
Mom says to me, I guess we can move the snow shovel, the season is over.. I don't know, it might be a good idea to keep it out at least through this last weekend.. I'm pretty confident we won't get any more snow but there is that in the back of my mind.. It's the reason I haven't planted yet.. That and, well I think after Memorial day is just a good idea.. There's nothing wrong with delaying planting, I don't think.. There have been times with the storms this past weekend that I was glad I didn't have anything in the ground and felt a sense of relief that I didn't have anything and thought wouldn't it be nice to not have to worry about this at all this year.. Take a season off.. I can't.. I have at least two pumpkins growing in starter cups.. The three sisters project?? If it isn't done this year will it wait until next year?? No because they engineer the seeds to grow from one year to the next, they won't grow next year, they will be worthless.. How they engineer things this way is beyond me.. But.. I have to decide shortly if three sisters will be done.. By the very first of June.. Shortly then..
