It’s been awhile since I posted. That means that things are going pretty well. Some of the glitches that I’ve found are as follows:
1. Hulu does a totally LOUSY job of remembering where you are when you are trying to make your way through a series.
2. Roku has their version of the Windows Blue Screen of Death. If your TV is turned off, or even if the channel changes, it locks up and you have to power down, then up, then wait for the boot process. It REALLY slows down getting into a movie.
On the plus side:
1. NetFlix is working out even better than I had dreamed. By recording DVDs onto my TiVo as soon as they arrive, and then turning the video around for another, most of our viewing is done through this process AND the NetFlix on-demand. There are SOME glitches in the on-demand feature, but very tolerable.
What I have enjoyed is NO cable bill or satellite bill.
Oh, Hulu Plus is about $8 per month, but despite some lousy performance, is still worth the cost. We will most likely be moving in a month or so, and I will take all of this information and make it permanent in our new home. I will hopefully post before then, but who knows.
Happy viewing.
