Well no, it doesn't suck either, maybe not your cup of tea, but it works well if you know what you're doing.

Please note that you left out an important part, "it doesn't suck" in your opinion.  Note that in my linked post, I included the disclaimer "JMHO" (just my honest opinion) before saying that Win10 sucks.

Suckage is almost always a matter of opinion. So in your opinion, Win10 doesn't suck, good for you.  In my opinion, it does.

Now what?  *****rollingeyes*****

I explicitly said that I didn't, and yet you just can't seem to let go of the idea that someone might have a different opinion of Win10 than you do.

OK, Win10 is the greatest OS ever created in the history of computing.

Happy now?  *****rollingeyes*****

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I just discovered a new app on Roku and Amazon Fire (can't find it on Apple TV). Pluto TV. It has hundreds of channels combined into one with a launchpad and a schedule bar very similar to a cable box so you can see what's on. It isn't just junk channels either. They have a lot of great news channels like Sky TV and Newsmax. Plus, they stream a lot of network affiliate channels from around the country (CBS/ABC/NBC).  You can also browse the guide to see what's on while watching a show in a sub window. And.. it is free.  It just has ads, but so far, they aren't constant annoyances.



Pluto?  I hadn't heard of it. Thanks! I'll check it out.

Cereal?

I'll pass.

Make it fried eggs, over easy, grits, flapjacks, and bacon.

I haven't had good grits in 20 years.  Cheesy grits is a favorite of mine.

I have known about Pluto TV for some time. It has gotten better. The ads doesn't bother me.

If they're fried hard, then you don't have any yolk to sop up with your toast.

It's over easy.

Lol.... reminds me of the time I was humiliated over the breakfast that I, as a new bride that didn't know much about cooking, prepared for my then-husband and his family.  Hey....what's wrong with scrambled eggs & grits???

Actually...... that sounds quite tasty to me.

You could put cheese in both and let it all melt together as one.  ^-^

I got an email from Roku, indicating they have added a channel of their own. Roku TV with free movies.

Also saw it last night, on my main TV then tried it. It does have commercials. So the movies are interrupted. I let the movies about Cassius Clay, put me to sleep.

When I started my journey to streaming several years, Roku was my 2nd device. (the 1st had been an Insignia Best Buy branded "blue-ray DVD and streaming player."

I swear by Roku. (3 now at my house, plus I gave one to my sister--newest, cheapest Express model)

When I pulled the plug on Dish recently, I went with Roku. I started out with Playstation Vue and ran right into my data cap. I had to throttle it at my router to stay under the limit. I now have unlimited so its no longer a problem.

@truth_seeker
Question:
Roku offers One America News, is that true? And is there extra cost in subscription?
