I got rid of cable and Direct TV because they kept going up and it was more than we could afford being on a small SSI check for Mrs Dottie and me on Disability. We of course haven't had a cost of living raise in 9 years. So, a friend of mine told me about his son in law had Roku and he had buku  channels. Does anybody know of this stuff and how much it cost for the channels? I know the Roku cost 98$ at Wal-Mart. We are so far out rural an antenna will only pick up Atlanta channels if even those so I am trying to figure out Roku would be a good buy for me. If you have to subscribe to a bunch of sites we can't afford all that so thanks for your help. RTR!

I've never used Roku, but I do have Hulu.  I say all the time that we have hundreds of channels and nothing on TV fit to watch.  I have watched more shows on Hulu recently than on satellite.  They have a lot of reruns that you can watch whenever you want.  They also have some new shows a few days after they come on TV.  But I don't ever watch those.  I think it costs about $8 per month, or $15 without commercials.  You can watch on your computer and I think they have a free trial so you can see if it has any shows that you like.  You will need a pretty good internet connection though.

Also, most everything on ESPN can be watched either live or as a replay over the internet.  I watched a lot of baseball games that way this season.  As long as you don't find out the score before you watch it later that night you really don't notice that it is a replay.  Sometimes I would find out the score on purpose before I watched so I could see if I was going to be wasting my time watching them lose. 

I have watched the football games on CBS live from my iPad before when I wasn't able to be home on a Saturday afternoon.  So I know that works.  There are lots of ways you can watch TV over the internet now a days, and a lot of them also happen to be free.

Maybe you can get it all figured out before football season starts.  Try this link for CBS and see what happens:

Click here for link

If that works then you will probably be able to watch Verne and Gary this fall, and they will probably have a lot of the Alabama football games.  Right now they are showing a beer commercial. 

The rest will probably be on ESPN, so you might be able to still watch all of the football games.

You can try most of it out on your computer, and if it works then you can see about buying something to hook it up to your TV.  Those little boxes you buy at Wal-mart just make it so you can watch it on your TV screen instead of your computer screen.

I forgot to put the link for Hulu:  Click here for link

Take a look and see if they have any shows you like.

Also I think Amazon is starting a service to compete with all of these guys.  If they do they will probably clobber everybody else.

I've heard good things about Roku, but don't know much about it. I have the Amazon Fire Stick and it is the shizzle! My wife is a member of Amazon Prime, so we get a gazillion shows and movies for free. If you don't have Amazon Prime, I think it costs about $8/ mo. The cost of the Fire Stick is a one time payment of $39. Unfortunately, I don't think I get any live football games with it, but I'm not positive about that.
