Dirk the Jerk Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Hey there. I just finished setting up my Roku and I am pleasantly surprised. :thumbup: Works great with my Wifi and TV. Just finished watching a documentary on the F-15 on the Honor channel. Looks like there are LOTS of hour long films available on fixed and fling wing craft. Lots of free channels with available upgradeable (cost money) content. For our family this seems like the best so we are not glued to the b@@b tube in the evenings. Well the wife and kids are glued to it while I try and stay alive in the warthog. Just my 2 cents...
Manuel Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 nice thing. Which version did you buy? PC: Asus P8Z77-M Mainboard; Intel i5-3570K (4x3,4Ghz) mit Scythe Mugen 3 CPU Kühler; 16Gb Corsair XMS3 1600Mhz; Nvidia GTX570 1280mb; Samsung 830 SSD; Samsung HDD Flight Sim Gear: TM Warthog; Saitek Pro Pedals; TM Cougars on an 19" screen; TrackIR 5 w/ trackclip pro; Logitech G35 headset
Dirk the Jerk Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 Manuel. I got the HD version since it was on sale at this time (Same price as the LT normally 49.99 USD) I just finished watching a show on the F-117 nd it role in Desert Shield/Storm. Pretty cool. Just surfing around trying to figure out which channels I like and the family will like.
leafer Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 I still don't understand what exactly it does for free when you need netflix and such. ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
Dirk the Jerk Posted February 14, 2013 Author Posted February 14, 2013 Netflix is only one of many channels. Netflix is of course a paid service but there are MANY other channels that are free.
leafer Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Just did a little digging and it appears due to licensing restrictions, Roku doesn't work outside of U.S. My sis has one and asked if I wanted one. Bummer. I'm so tired of the crap shown on tv here. ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
Dirk the Jerk Posted February 14, 2013 Author Posted February 14, 2013 That sucks! Sorry it is not available. Content on TV is the main reason that I wanted this thing. Plus I am pretty cheap when it comes to giving the cable company my money....
