Not exactly, but you can watch Youtube on the Roku.  It's really just a way to watch Youtube, Hulu, Netflix, VUDU, and many other channels of streaming video on your TV instead of on a computer.

They can explain it better than I can: https://www.roku.com/

Speaking of crappy movies I watched The Spirit last night on SyFy. What a big steaming pile of dung. No movies for me tonight. Too many other shows on.

One of my sons stopped in at lunch today and was showing us a new web page they use at the fire department to watch movies online......it's called Rainierland.

Just to see how it played, I watched two recently released movies, Fury and The Equalizer...... both played at 720p HD on my desktop with no skipping or lagging.

I might try one on my Kindle tonight at nap time.

I'm going to DVR "Justified" starting this season. Can anyone give me the Cliff Notes on it? I'm going to try to record all of them if they broadcast the other 4 seasons, like they did "Breaking Bad". I went through the whole series in about 2 weeks. Blasting through commercials, watching as many a 4 episodes per sitting. I'd like to do much the same with "Justified", if it's as good.

If Breaking Bad is a 10, Justified would be an 8.

Breading Bad was like watching a disaster unfold ...  can't take your eyes from it..

You couldn't really root for the "good guy" as he outsmarted other bad guys, the law and his family, but sunk deeper into the pit with each success. 

Justified has a different theme...a "not by the book" good guy walking the line between legal and illegal, some times with a foot on each side or both feet on one side or the other, doing what it takes to get the right thing done.

I was captivated by the Breaking Bad series but I've never watched a rerun as often as they have been shown.

I have watched every Justified rerun and enjoy them each time....might wear thin after half a dozen times...

I'd be much more likely to buy the Justified "Complete DVD Set" than the Breaking Bad.


P.S.  Justified's reruns have just finished in time for the start of the final season.

Sounds good. I never watched a single episode of "Breaking Bad", until I broke in on the last 20 minutes of the last episode. I then recorded every rerun from the first episode on, until I had seen the entire series, beginning to end. I'm hoping to do the same with "Justified".

I'm sure with the series being as successful as it is / was, they'll be rerunning it more than once. One I really miss is "Deadwood". I bought the entire DVD collection. It had some great acting. I don't understand why you don't see more of the people who were in it. Especially the saloon owner, "Swearingen". I'll never forget his line when he walked into the saloon and shouted out..... "Enough of this bull$h!t. Let's get the booze flowin' and the whores F*#KING!"........ I laughed until I had tears in my eyes.

He was a much better character than the wimpy sheriff.

over the weekend, Dish network had a free preview weekend of HBO, Showtime and cinamax, out of the entire weekend, there was not one show on any of those that was worth watching, most of the movies were  several years old and they were not that good then.
