What are you streaming on Netflix?
Comments (11)I just put McLeod's Daughters on my Instant Queue. I'd never heard of it--thanks for the tip, Jmc! Now if I can understand the Australian accents...... ;-) Growing up in NYC, I used to be good at understanding everybody's accents, but apparently I'm not as skilled as I once was. I found that Veronica Mars is available only on DVD. But if it ever streams, I'll check it out. Also plan to take a look at Doctor Who. I thought that was his name, too. LOL Jodi, I watched the first two episodes of Mad Men last year, and liked it a lot. I bought the first three seasons for my daughter as a Christmas gift, but then Netflix started streaming them. I told her I'd try to sell the unopened box sets....See MoreNeed Device Advice, I Want To Play Netflix DVD's
Comments (3)What do you mean your old DVD player "won't work?" Does it require a connection your current TV does not have? Does it say on the screen that it cannot play the DVD you selected? Need more info. Sometimes DVD players will permit you to change the "region" so that DVDs made for the US and other parts of N.America won't work in other parts of the world. Make sure you haven't accidentally switched the region for your player....See MoreStreaming connections.
Comments (12)When I switch from antenna to HDMI I get a menu displayed from the Roku. The menu lists Amazon, Pandora Hulu, Netflix, Plex, and about 10 other streaming services. I use primarily Amazon (free with Prime), where many shows and movies are free, while others require payment. The Roku has similar buttons to a VCR remote, so you can stop, start, and pause any show or movie you select. I also just set up a Plex server on one of my PCs, and was able to access it from my Roku. Since my son has made a digital copy on the PC of many of our DVDs (ripped), to take on a laptop when we travel, I am now experimenting with accessing my movies using Plex from my Roku. Overall the setup seems fairly simple, although I have to leave my PC on to act as a server. Plex also allows streaming of music, but I haven't tried loading anything from my own CDs yet.

Comments (12)If you're looking for a simple and affordable option for your guest apartment, a Roku TV could be a good choice. Roku is a device that allows you to stream content from various services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and many others. Some Roku TVs come with Roku built-in, so you don't need to buy a separate device. To watch NBC, PBS, and other over-the-air channels, you'll need an antenna. Rabbit ears are still a thing, and they can work well in an apartment building, although the reception may vary depending on your location and the amount of interference from other signals. To set up the TV and antenna, you'll need to connect the TV to the antenna using a coaxial cable. You'll also need to scan for channels on the TV to find the ones you want to watch. This process is usually straightforward and can be done using the TV remote. If you want to watch Steelers games, you'll need to find out which network is broadcasting the game and make sure that network is available over-the-air in your area. Some games are only available on cable or satellite, so you may need to find an alternative option if that's the case. In terms of ease of use, a Roku TV is a good choice because it has a simple interface and can be controlled using a remote or a smartphone app. You can also add and remove channels easily, so your parents can customize their viewing experience. Overall, a Roku TV with an antenna could be a good choice for your guest apartment if you want an affordable and easy-to-use option for your parents to watch their favorite shows and channels....See Moregardener123
