Roku For Dummies!

I recently purchased a Roku HD player at a great price from Amazon.com.

I am an avid Netflix user and streaming video to my laptop is nice but watching movies on a television is a much nicer experience all around.

My Roku arrived this week and, unbelievably, I installed it on my lunch hour after I ate my lunch and I was not late returning to work! In less than thirty minutes I connected it to my television and the internet, registered my device with Roku, Netflix, and Amazon Video On Demand. It was an amazingly simple process.

More posts coming soon!

Well, it’s been a while since my last post here. Sorry about that…

Luckily, John has posted a few times and kept some new content coming. I appreciate it. And soon we will be posting much more frequently again.

Life has been hectic in general the last few months, and when I have free time I have been totally engrossed in a few Steam games such as Team Fortress 2 and Day of Defeat: Source. They are totally addicting, seriously.

As I said, expect more frequent posts again soon. I know I still have a few loyal visitors at least and I don’t want to disappoint. Wink

Have a great weekend everyone. Smile
