Does anyone know what is going on with Shetland? I know that Happy Valley may not come back, but I thought Shetland would.

I have Roku in the sewing room, Dish in the living room. I have access to Netflix, Amazon Prime movies and TV shows, Food Network, HGTV and Pluto TV (for Newsmax mainly) and HBOgo from Dish.
Netflix costs about $14.00 a month, so I can watch something on the TV or my PC or laptop. Amazon Prime is $11.00 a month with tons of free movies and Tv shows. Roku is really fun I can access Fandango that has movies playing at the movie house without the crowds.......:) I just rent them and watch. Last good series I watched was The Last Kingdom on Netflix. It's about the Vikings and the Saxons. And a rather gritty show called Narcos, which deals with Pablo Escobar and the DEA. (not for young viewers). I like to watch movies mainly in my sewing room that includes DVD's. |

Can you explain all this streaming. I understand Netflix streaming, but none of the others. |

You can buy a roku at WalMart to pick up all the streaming channels . It's a one time cost. No monthly fee. Read all about it at roku.com. Different models available.

Can you explain all this streaming. I understand Netflix streaming, but none of the others. Some apps are free; others are subscription. We pay for Netflix, Acorn, and Mhz. Just started a trial of Hulu, but I think I am going to cancel that one. We also pay for a subscription to Great Courses Plus, which gives us access to wonderful college-level lecture courses on an amazing range of topics. We also have a lot of free apps such as CBS, ABC, NBC, Newsy, and NewsOn for news. WJS (WSJ?)has some interesting short documentaries. Dh subscribes to a lot of free cooking apps, including several on Indian cooking. My advice is to start by purchasing a Roku unit. If you already subscribe to Netflix, you can access it from your Roku unit as well as your tv. Check out some of the freebies, then add subscriptions one at a time. I think all of the subscription channels offer a free trial before they start charging. Edit: I think all of the "free" channels include ads. They used to not be too annoying, but lately I have noticed they have become very annoying. (Maybe it's me?) Apparently they don't have enough advertisers because they will play the same ad over 3 or 4 times during a "commercial break". I have started turning off the sound when those are on. |
Vera- excellent long running crime show you can catch seasons 1,2, 4-7 on Acorn and seasons 3 and 8 on Britbox- stream through Roku or other streaming device.
Brokenwood - New Zealand police procedural, great soundtrack and quirky characters. We've liked every episode. On Acorn Foyle's War- WWII police series, fantastic series and great acting. No longer being made, but we binge watched all seasons and really liked it. Also on Acorn Durrells in Corfu- based on Gerald Durrell's Corfu trilogy--fun, fairly light series about the family's life on Corfu in the 1930s. We've enjoyed the 1st couple of seasons so far. I think we streamed it off of PBS. Correction, we streamed season 1 off Amazon Prime and Season 2 off of PBS. Rob |
Has anyone watched Republic of Doyle on Netflix? There were only six seasons and we are done but now we miss them!!
