Prezzies.



I received some lovely presents this Christmas, amongst which was a really good quality Umbrella (my last one broke in two), a very swish hamper of goodies, and the above.

Roku is a streaming device which transfers WiFi info from your Modem direct to the TV. I don't suppose that I shall ever use all its facilities, but the one which interests me most is YouTube. Rather than watching certain shows/movies on my small laptop screen, I can now watch them much bigger, and without the interference of adverts, on our TV.

Ain't teknolergy wonderful.

  2. I dislike umbrellas. I wear a rain hat and a raincoat in preference to holding an umbrella over my head.

    1. The only problem I see with umbrellas is that strong wind often accompanies rain. This, as you know, either turns them inside-out, or carries them off to Northern Ireland.

    2. That symbol at the end there isn't meant to be there. I have no idea where it came from.

    3. It looks quite nice. I wouldn't complain.

  3. I had not heard of Roku and, on looking it up, it looks quite technical here due to restrictions on viewing various programmes. We watch so little t.v. that I doubt it would be worth it. Rarely watch anything longer than about 5 minutes on You tube. We get a lot of use out of the Wonderboom we bought though.

    1. I've sent you 2 emails recently which don't seem to have flown. They should arrive one day. I had the same thing happen a week ago.

  4. It's like Google Chrome I think. We bypassed that device with home wifi and a smart tv.

    1. I wouldn't compare it to Google; it's not a search engine, just offers a few channels that are on the computer rather than TV.

  5. Amazing. Good to have tech savvy children who are up with the latest!

  7. Echo Gwil's comment, our television must be smart with freeview etc. Got rid of Netflix as it had the same problem as TV.

    1. Netflix is on this Gizmo, but I think I'd have to pay. No thanks.

  8. My not-all-that-new tv has most of those services built in.

    1. Ours has just a few UK channels, thanks to Sky.

  9. I have one rule for presents (to myself from anyone) - nothing with a plug on it!

    1. We had some fun with the above as it had an American plug on it!!!

  10. In answer to your last question - yes - but give me that hamper of goodies anytime! Happy New Year.

    1. The hamper is very good, but the 'Roku' will last longer!

  11. We love our Roku TV. We also got the Roku stick to transfer other TVs into streaming devices instead of using expensive cable. It takes some getting use to, but it is saving us money.

    1. I already use YouTube for music and documentaries, so to have it full-screen (and with no ad's) is wonderful. You're right about TV, it's been dire over Christmas; we've hardly watched anything.

  13. Have heard of it, my gr-kids would know about it.
