If they are offering premium cable channel shows for free might not be legit, depends on the shows or some sites like that just link to other sites or you get maleware when trying to watch a show. I noticed some networks lately make you log in with your provider info to use their app so I would think those ones are not offering the shows free online like that. I pay for Netflix and hulu plus and really like those so I can recommend those as they are safe from maleware. Mary

I have the basic Roku.. have had it for (probably close to 10?) years and it works fine. That said, when I replace my tv one of these days, I'll update my streaming device also. I prefer Roku to apple tv and amazon fire because it will also stream Acorn.tv and Spotify. Yes, you will need to have a streaming device on each tv. I don't know that you need the super processing power of the ultra for old classic movies which aren't in high definition. I would think you'd be fine with a premier even the model below that. I am not an expert on these things though. I just know that my original Roku is running fine. I am surprised that you found a 4k tv that isn't a smart tv with either Roku or some other proprietary streaming software installed.

I rarely watch any regular TV other than PBS. But I do have several streaming services and I am in the middle of watching a re-release of All Creatures Great and Small on Britbox. And I got a free trial month of Amazon Prime and have been binging on Bosch, Endeavor and Silent Witness and eager to start The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel before my month runs out! I also recently sought relief from our current disastrous political climate by watching all of the West Wing....again :-) And I did watch PBS last night and quite liked Flesh and Blood. I love Francesca Annis and British dramas do tend to be be pretty gritty and often dark. And they are rebroadcasting Escape to the Chateau, which is an absolute joy to watch! I also admit to watching a couple of Tyler Perry's Medea Halloween themed movies - they crack me up!!

Mimou, I agree the Reagans' photo is very cute with that mischievous look on Nancy's face but I still can't figure out what's actually going on there--she isn't tugging on his coat, she is holding a glass of wine in one hand and Liz Taylor's hand in the other(?????). As for the Obamas, one thing the documentary makes so clear is the simple basic human goodness in how they lived and are still living. The pictures of him and Michelle as textbook illustrations of a solid loving marriage; the images of him as a devoted father of much loved daughters; the shots of them with Michelle's mother who was the wind beneath their wings taking care of the girls; the group pictures of him with his diverse team working together on ways to make life better for the country....all of it is evocative of core values that ANY president should embody. It's astounding to consider the vicious hate blasted at these folks who by every measure embody what everyone would agree represents the very best of the American ideal: educated, productive, caring people who rose from humble beginnings and who are raising great future citizens in a committed and loving partnership. It sure strips bare what racism really looks like doesn't it?
