RE: go to pbs.org to stream

Posted by jedrider on May 12, 2018 at 13:49:37:
Really? That's good to know. Actually, that I can stream direct from PBS and use Roku.
Well, I got into the one year contract and I'm going to stick it out, but make note of when the contract expires (and they hike the rate).
My wife wanted the 200 stations, but we STILL only watch PBS, and NetFlix appears to be popular, too. So, we miss the Academy Awards and the Olympics every 2 years. I think over-the-air was better quality than Comcast through their scrambler box. So, if Roku is even better than that, I'm all for that (and I will need ammunition when convincing my wife ;-)
Still, wish I could figure out how to get the signal. I have to play around with the antenna, maybe. I may not be able to get it high enough because I don't know what height I need. Maybe, I'll purchase a USB digital TV stick and go find the best location by walking uphill with a laptop.
Thanks for the suggestions to all.
