Thumbs up Roku

I recently reported that we got Fairpoint DSL out on Welch Island. The old phone wire can only support a little over 1.5 Mbps however we can still do a lot with Roku.

Most Roku channels such as History and PBS play fine with a minimum of buffering delays at 1.5 Mbps. We are especially pleased that Netflix works perfectly and has a lot of content in addition to the movies. In fact a few days ago we discovered that I could watch Netflix on the TV via Roku at the same time that my wife can also watch Netflix on her tablet sharing the 1.5 Mbps download.

So now we have a Roku 3 both at home and at camp. No matter where you leave off watching a movie or TV series on Netflix you can resume at exactly the same point on any device. We are back at the house now and my wife is just finishing a movie (The Factory) that she started at camp last night.
