Yes, he's so radically right he makes Lou Dobbs seem like Teddy Kennedy.

I have never heard of roku. Now I think its something I am going to look into. Once again, I see FOX is offered and MSNBC is not. But overall it looks like a good product and would be a great addition to the TV.

ROKU that is horrible with just short video clips. I don't know why they did that, a lot of people have complained.

We use it all the time, it's amazing what's out on internet tv as an alternative to traditional cable and the subscriber stuff.

HuluPlus which has lots of TV series is about $8/mo. I have both of these.

There are also lots of free channels. It has all sorts of stuff, some for pay and some for free. Just between Netflix and HuluPlus http://www.hulu.com/plus that's thousands of movies, TV stuff, etc.

I have some other services that are about $3/year. Some horror/scifi channels, etc.

There is also a channel called Nowhere TV http://www.thenowhereman.com/roku/ than brings in all sorts of stuff. It is free, but I donate.

There is also Amazon where you can pay for a movie at a time (stream rental for I think 48 hours). I do that sometimes for really late releases. The charge can vary, but it seems it was around $3/movie. I don't use it much. Sometimes that can be a little more than $3, and sometimes less.

You'll need enough horsepower on your internet connection to handle ROKU. I have a 10gbps connection, but you can get away with a lot less than that.

"What is the minimum Internet connection speed I need to use my Roku player?" See >>> http://support.roku.com/entries/20289373-what-is-the-minimum-internet-connection-speed-i-need-to-use-my-roku-player

Hope this helps some.

CNN once was a respected nooz source, not since 2000, though they did have a momemt when they "captured" Sadam's home town during the war, and Admitedly one of the most powerful pieces of tape I have seen.

Was ready to pleasure himself on air when he thought the mandate was overturned, then in tears when they got it wrong.
