Streaming some serious television

We (I) made a decision not to subscribe to cable or satellite tv at this time.  For one we were not sure where and what we wanted and to be honest I have to be locked in to a system that if the neighbors are forthright have issues with one particular service and when you talk to the satellite providers, well, anyway. 

Our TV was way back in the 15’ long storage unit and we decided to use some fundage to buy a smaller TV we could use for the time being.  The BestBuy brand had one with Roku.  Not wanting a smart telly this one has some of the niceties without the spying, or at least the conspiracy guys say. So this TV comes with Roku. 

I heard of Roku from some of the residents around Mountain 2 who stated they used an internet provider and had a Roku account.  Others mentioned Roku and paying for only what you wanted. Wasn’t sure and used and use the RabbitTv for some programming.  But once we purchased the TV with the Roku. 

Roku is interesting.  Sure some of the programs I could get on my computer but why if I can view them on the flatscreen.  And with Sling, I am getting a satellite provider’s product without the 2 year contract, Hulu allows me to catch up on some shows and Feel’n gets me in the mood with all the Hallmark movies and shows, especially around the holidays. 

Here is what I have found interesting.  There are a number of religious programming from some real crazy theologically warped to some very sound and in between.  A church we visited in NC has their own channel.  Others use a channel called StreamingChurch.TV.  I have watched services online off and on but now getting it on the big screen is nice.

So far we only have one Roku and two TVs.  I am really thinking of picking up one of the devices for the other tv as it seems we can’t always agree on what to watch.
