I find that I have a tendency to be behind when it comes to technology and what's coming up. So I don't know how long this has been out, but my husband just told me about Roku. I guess it's a streaming media player that uses your wifi connection to stream media onto your TV. Companies can create an app for the Roku player and users can select what content they want. The Roku is a one time price (not too expensive apparently) and the apps are then free.
I know in the past I have mentioned to my husband my concern of all the junk that is available on cable and that I wasn't sure if I wanted that in our home for our kids to potentially view. I thought it would be great if we could somehow only have the option of just a few channels that are uplifting (such byutv). But now it seems like Roku is the perfect option for that were we really could just pick a few apps of channels or whatever that we felt was good to have in our home. Perhaps in a few years when we have money we will get Roku.
I have never heard of Roku either, but it sounds really cool. I also feel like bringhing all the bad stuff that cable has to offer into a home with young children is a bad idea. My husband and I just got netflix and I still feel like that has potential problems. I may have to look into this Roku.
