I have two Roku 2 XS' and I build a rooftop antenna. It's called an 'MClapp M4' antenna, and it is VERY powerful. I get up to 70 miles of 1080 broadcasts of my local Pittsburgh channels, but also West Virginia, and Ohio!!!

Anyone with a Roku, get Plexapp and PlayOn. Plex is free and a lifetime subscription for PlayOn can be had for about $50 bucks.. These programs run on your PC, Mac, or Linux computer and create a small network server. The Plex server lets you stream your own TV shows or movies and provides a few extra channels. PlayOn, does the same thing, but let's add live content and lots of extra channels. There are scripts out on the internet which let's you add some live news, sports, and cable channels!!

For phone service, I bought a $40 VOIP box called the "Obihai 100". It runs Google Voice for free. It has call waiting, caller ID, and call forwarding... All FREE and FREE calls in the continental US.

I went from a $220/month Triple Play Comcast bill to $58/month internet only bill, we don't miss A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G-!!!

P.S. I had to buy a powerful new wireless router, for all this to be possible. Asus RT-N66u. You will not go wrong!!

Try it, and remember "Google" is your guide...

My wife thinks I'm brilliant... ;)
