Yup, would sure as hell like to. Problem is, wife and I have very different tv interests.

And I'm not real good with the whole sling/Roku/Netflix thing.

Not entirely sure what to switch to?!?

The channels I like are so random that it's too time consuming to figure out which service offers what. In the end, I just stick with what I have. Not the smartest financial move but it is what it is.

Which channels do you like? I also loaded to youtube app to Roku, amazing how much programming is in youtube for free.

I'll answer, maybe this will give me some direction...

I watch next to No local stuff. Not local news, weekly tv shows or any of that. I'll watch the local affiliate for college ftball game once in a while if it's a "big" game.

Otherwise it's usually news (Fox, fox bus more lately and the others periodically) Nat geo, sci chan, travel, history, Smithsonian, food net, some specific events on msespn (None of the daily stuff anymore), NFL and Red Zone, some golf channel, and that's about all I can come up with.

It does look like that PSVue thing @44.99 could well work, esp if you can then add onesie twosome other channels ala carte.

Is that run through a play station I presume? Will an older PS3. work?

Anyone?

PS Vue originally came out for the PS3 and then PS4.

Since then they've added all popular streaming devices -- even phones and tablets.

Something to think about re: Roku devices. Roku came out before live streaming TV. It shows movies and shows using a TILE design. It never had a reason to display things is a CHANNEL GRID.

Given that, if you use a streaming TV service on a Roku device, you won't have a channel guide. Live TV shows will show up as tiles.

However, Roku is working on updating its interface to provide channel guide layouts. I believe it's already available on Roku TVs, but I don't think it's available on streaming boxes yet.

I have a PS4. Though the remote is great for gaming, it kind of sux for TV. I don't want to use 2 hands when I'm trying to watch TV.

But, there are PS4 TV remotes. The blue buttons on the 2nd row from the top let you program other devices.
