 Co> Roku box, turns your tv into a smart tv using wifi.

Yes I imagine it seems odd. We have only the internet. $90/month for Bell, but
it is the best for quality.

yes, we subscribe to services because they are better than what we could find
on TV at another $100/mth.

 Ga> You seem a little confused.

I don't think I am confused, just not explaining clearly. :-)

We have to pick and choose.

I dropped the VOIP number a couple of weeks ago. $170/yr for no one calling
other than marketting people.

It's hard to figure out what you can and cannot do.

Cutting the cable refers to ditching the TV and The phone service. At least
that is what I read into it.

I watch a lot of Amazon.

My religious stuff comes from a Starchoice dish pointed at Galaxy 19, though
tommorow I may aim it at Galaxy 28. It's free to air.
