[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have Roku box, HD antenna (Mohu leaf) and Amazon Prime.  No landline, so I just pay for internet (currently on a promotion for $30/month).[/quote]

+1, but i suggest the Google Chromecast - you can stream netflix directly, anything in a google chrome browser (so hulu or amazon prime)..and the chromecast is only $35....you can even do it from your smartphone. [/quote]

can you tell us more about Google Chromecast? Do you recommend it instead of roku box? HD antenna, etc.? do you need a computer?, etc,. Thanks![/quote]

We have an HD antenna (Mohu leaf) and the Chromecast - yes, you need a computer, ipad or mobile device - it basically has to run google chrome (browser) - 
For us, it's been really fun. it works over your existing wifi network. the chromecast plugs into the hdmi port on your tv - and you download chrome and the chromecast extension onto your device.  We use it most commonly with our ipad. For instance, we pull up netflix (streaming) and find what we want to watch.  from that point, there is an icon that looks like a tv - and you select that - and the video jumps from your ipad or computer directly to the tv. It's magic.

For things that we watch through a browser, like hulu or amazon prime - it's the same, pull it up, there's an icon from where you installed it...click the icon and magic, it's on your tv.

Mostly, it's cheap and I think google is positioning itself as the opening to a lot of content.

And, if you hate it, it's only $35. [/quote]
