Streaming Video

I have become a fan of streaming video. The TV networks show many full episodes of TV shows online the next day. Last Christmas, Robin & Kris gave me a 3-month trial subscription to Netflix.  I set it up in the living room through the Wii and also watched it on my laptop.  I liked it a lot, but Steve was never able to get used to using the Wii controller to find programs.  Robin & Kris have Apple TV, and I watched season 1 of Game of Thrones last spring at their house.  This year, Robin & Kris gave me a Roku box for my TV, which is a lot like Apple TV.  Amy & Joe got me a 3-month trial subscription to Hulu Plus.  I also discovered that I can view many Amazon Instant Videos for free with my Amazon Prime account. Another friend told me about Crackle, which is free, but I have not registered for Crackle yet.  I don't know yet if I can get the network TV streaming through the Roku box on Hulu Plus.  If I can do this, it almost completely eliminates the need for a DVR.
