I have a roku dont need it now because of current living situation but it wasn't what i thought it was all about. Still really dont understand it as I bought it for my wife while I was going to school for motorcycle tech so she had some entertainment at home with out newborn.

You can't have wireless towers without land based cables to feed them. Even if you linked them with microwave dishes to headend/switching centers, you would soon run out of bandwidth. Fiber optic cable is the only medium that has unlimited bandwidth to handle all the data that goes out over wireless systems.

Information is a powerfull force.

I haven't had TV (cable or broadcast) for over 10 years. Good riddance!

I have cable internet, and my wife and kids enjoy Roku, Amazon, Netflix, etc.

About once a year, we try to watch something in particular on broadcast TV. (Usually a PBS show or a UK game) I don't think we've ever managed to get an antenna set up and working in time to catch the show, and then we forget about it for another year.

So we pay $50 or so for reasonably fast broadband (6 Mbit? I dunno..fast enough for one TV). We also pay more than I like for two cell phones -- maybe $120. So, communications is one of our larger utilities. Yay, modern times.

My advice? Go for it.

A month in with Roku with an Amazon and Netflix subscription and I can't say I miss cable at all. I also bought an antenna so I could watch local stuff but it has rarely been used.

Been on Magicjack for phone and Roku for everything for years now. Never looked back. My total monthly is $42 ($35 10Mbit Cable and $7 for Magicjack). Anything I can't find, there is always BitTorrents of it and that takes about 5 minutes to download.

Talked several firends into Rokus too. They love it!

Go ahead... you'll never miss the issues and you get more to watch for it!
