When in Spain..

I'm not about to say bad things about the Roku in any way.. People if you want a new way to watch programing on the tube, buy a Roku or any other streaming device and enjoy how great tv can be.. What I will say is that eventually all the lower priced or free programming that is there will be all paid.. It might not happen very soon but it might very well happen.. Why?? Why would I predict this?? Well there are channels on there that have identical programming as others that some have a small price tag.. Money $$$  for that.. Trouble is when you look at the programming on this channel and that.. They are identical.. Why would people pay for something they could get free?? Well ads on some of the channels.. I've said this before, I think, that the commercials on channel/apps such as Popcorn flix or Crackle happen at the oddest times.. In fact the commercials could happen during dialog or an action scene and when you come back they either move the scene back a little or forward a little.. This is no big deal.. Or maybe it is.. Some of these channels can let you watch these movies ad free for a $.99 price.. (ninety nine pennies).. Which isn't at all a big deal but I've never gone that route before..  The strange part of some channels have to be linked by way of the computer.. They send you an activation code, a link code thing and then it works identical to Crackle which doesn't have a link code.. So how does that work?? Same thing as other channels I think. Any channel that is that way I don't keep.. A new channel that was added is called Sesame Street Go, and just like HBO Go it costs to activate.. What I don't like about the Sesame Street channel is they make it sound like it is free, then you want to check out a program and they want you to activate it by way of using your email acount, which is no big deal, then they have the prices screen shows.. umm.. no. NO THANKS.. For a low price of $4 for a month, that isn't bad but.. If you can't even check what is on or the quality then.  No..    Other channels you have to have a cable system that is supported by the channel to see it.. We don't and likely never will be on that list.. But when you think about it.. Why would you be wanting to go that route?? People are trying to leave cable tv, why would you get cable tv to get channels that you leave cable for??  

Borrow from someone who has a dish/directv account.. That is what these channels are forcing people to do.. Hell I tried to do that with my brother but when the channel wasn't very good quality wise, or more to the point our internet wouldn't support the channel..


The best part about a Roku is you can have about as many channels as you want, there are no tiers to buy.. You get channels that you identify with.. Try a channel, see if you like it, if there really is nothing you like.. delete it.. then try it again later.. or don't it is quite up to you.. It's something I do, they have a NEW channels section and I will get it, try it and if it is worth a second look, I'll keep it.. If I don't look at it in a certain amount of time, I delete it.. Good enough.. Get it?? Do I understand. Do you?? I think I did this entry in another form.. Oh well good way to waste a bit of time isn't it..
