TV - Internet - and a ROKU Remote

One of the best things to come along since chocolate is the ROKU box. It has made it possible for me to use "the box" to think "outside the box". My Roku plugs into the electricity, then into my TV set. I can plug it into my internet router or use it wireless to stream entertainment from the internet on my schedule when I want it.

No, I do not get network programming when it airs (at least not yet.)Yes I do get quality entertainment. Most of the official Roku channels (more than 100) are subscription free. And most of the Private channels are also subscription free.(more than 50+ and there are channels within channels)(Yes, Roku will allow you to write your own channel for free according to their standards.)

Private channels include movie channels, news, local weather, children's channels, educational channels, religious channels, world wide radio stations and much more. Private channels are added to your channel list with a code.When you leave behind unconventional thinking regarding entertainment, it is possible to purchase a Roku box ($59, $79, or $99)(one time cost) and begin to watch subscription free TV from the internet to your TV set.

In the last few months our grandkids have enjoyed watching Flipper (the series), Pit Pony (the series and the movie), and Liberty's Kids. We choose the programs and we choose the time of viewing. Is it unconventional? Yes. Is it cost effective? Yes. Is it the future of TV? I think so. You decide. Visit Roku and take a look.
