I just read that after Sept. 4th, Acorn TV is raising their price from $24.95. If you are thinking of signing up, now would be a good time to do it.
Is there any free streaming video with the ROKU or do you have to figure out how to sign up for everything? Or is everything for a fee like Netflix?
I jumped the gun and bought this Sony DVD because after we get back from vacation the state tax will be charged by Amazon. With HDMI cable this came to $115 total. I think Best Buy is offering about the same price now.I'm thinking about buying a Blu-Ray player when I get back from vacation. Not really for the extra definition but for the streaming capability which I understand is somewhat like what the Roku offers.
Here is the DVD I've been watching prices on: Amazon.com: Sony BDP-S390 Blu-ray Disc Player with Wi-Fi (Black): Electronics
Hopefully the DVD interface is as easy to deal with as I understand the Roku is.
Some of those channels may have shows available free on their websites. History Channel does.Tom52 said:I would like to drop Comcast Cable TV. The monthly fee is outrageous and I don't have any premium movie channels. I am thinking of an attic antenna and the ROKU with Acorn TV and Netflix could save a lot of money. Some of the channels I would really miss are HGTV, USA, History Channel, and a few others. Is there anyway to pick up these channels thru the ROKU?
