Comment on Cutting the DirecTv Cord – a Roku Experiment by EB

Would like to hear your results. I think the most difficult part (initially) is losing choices and finding content that meets your needs/prefs. I can’t imagine how my wife would handle losing Tennis Channel with live coverage and directv’s grand slam coverage.

Comment on Roku Off to a Great Start by Dave Weiss

I’m not saying you need a subscription to anything – there is a bunch of content available without subscribing to any service. However, I find a Hulu Plus subscription and my Amazon Prime subscription come in handy. Amazon Prime membership gives you access to tons of movies and TV shows via Amazon Instant. HBO – that’s another issue.

Do the math – DirecTV will run you a good $100+/month for HD channels and HBO, plus receiver rentals. Amazon Prime goes for $80/yr, Hulu Plus is $8/month. So, for about $250 in hardware costs (3 Roku devices plus an HD antenna), you cover your conversion expenses in about 2.5 months. The monthly cost of content is then negligible.

You can even spend a little more money on additional paid content and end up with a much smaller monthly cost than DirecTV.

So how is it going? I’m thinking of doing the same thing. I am fairly tech savvy but not sure I understand the whole ROKU thing yet.
I understand putting up an external HD antenna for the locals
But do I need a subscription for things like NETFLIX, HBO, etc. Is it with each channel? If so, wouldn’t that add up pretty fast? What about HGTV, DIYTV, etc?
I am an Amazon Prime member though.

I also am approx 45 from Chicago, to the north.

I’m wondering how many levels deep you can take this. Will try to set up a couple of tests.

You know… as much as I use JSON object in NetSuite, I still have issue coding it… right.
SO annoying yet I always come back to using it.

The day i don’t have to lookup internal IDs of records, fields, custom fields, list… even internal IDs’ of existing records will be the day I smile while coding.
