    The ONLY Sports Channel I care about is Texas Aggie Sports, and my FREE Antenna picks up the A&M Channel from Bryan Texas for FREE! And it doesn't even cost any money!

    And I get OLD shows like McHale's Navy, and Roy Rogers --- I forgot that Roy Rogers and Dale Evans routinely quoted scriptures in the course of their shows - and LOTS of shows without sex and violence and cussing!!!!

        I think the future of TV will be on the internet. Sort of like netflix and hulu and other services that let you watch what you want and when you want. I think broadcast and Cable TV will slowly disappear in the next 10 or so years. The networks will still exist, but they will produce shows for internet streaming instead. They already provide many full episodes on their respective sites.

              How many of the Spanish channels are you going to watch? I usually take them off...

                  OK, So I have my Roku set up, using the Netflix and Amazon Prime accounts I was already paying for but seldom used, and I can operate everything with just TWO remotes - the TV's own remote, and the Roku remote.

                  Gonna make sure Mrs. CP is happy with our choices, and if she gives the green light, I get to call DirecTV and put up with all their, "but if you stay with DirecTV, we'll give you $20 off a month from our insanely overpriced programming...."

                      That's entirely based on the broadcaster, and, checking several of the channels, it appears flawless.
