ParticipantLooks like this might be a long-term project.
To get the Road-runner lightening service they almost bend you over to get cable. What I am thinking is we bite the bullet, let TW or the service techs run around installing outlets from the attic.
Later I start to build my HTPC, and figure out how to get it all networked.
My Roku seemed to die the other day and it’s not that damn old. I’ll try it again, but kid lost his Indians games and is pissed he now has to watch on the PC in the man-cave.
Also considering other devices besides Roku, and the more I investigate the paralysis-from-analysis I get, so no more investigating the best method to the point of 3 hours sleep, all so I save $50/month. I need to take this a bit slower, so I think at first we are just going regular cable. Uverse is available too which I liked in Carlsbad, but I hate not having the MLB network.

ParticipantMy issue really revolves around the fact that I still pay for MLB.tv, UFC fights and Netflix. Then I find between those three and regular network programming we pretty much get what we need. Sounds like if I get regular Cable into the house that ESPN3 will an option. Since the kids have small HD monitors, I can get the other one a Roku, and perhaps one for the main TV and spare. Still a bit of an upfront investment.
OTOH I think ATT Uverse has streaming to iPhone/Android devices? I guess slingbox would do that as well. Certainly even cable will get more interesting as they integrate to your smart phones but man you end up paying through the nose.

ParticipantHaving moved to Orlando, I am with Brighthouse and apparently Uverse is an option. Brighthouse appears to be Time-Warner.
I’ll go find some decent rabbit ears today I am about 10 miles from most of the network channels (fox, abc, nbc, cbs) as they are all clustered not too far from here.
I did figure out that UFC does allow the Roku to watch over Pay-Per-View. My kids literally only watch MMA and MLB as far as sports, everything else is facebook time. The wife is a harder sell as I don’t know if Top Model and the various cooking reality shows are out there. Still there is more than enough with Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon VOD to keep you occupied.
