    Roku and google are having some contract issues, but I thought that it didn't affect people who were already using YouTube/Roku, only new users. Anyway I've been monitoring this because I love Roku and YouTube TV, so far they are both still working for me.

    Is there such a thing? I've never heard of it. I have the same problem as crandc in the far extreme of my house with my land line wireless telephone.

    Well, better than the gun like the bigger versions look like. I'm gonna take it on trips, my feet always get sore when I walk a shit-ton, so this may be a good solution. Dunno, will try it out.

    I had a sudden brainstorm regarding Roku.
    It worked.
    Once I knew what to do it was so ridiculously easy I don't know whether to laugh or scream.

    I knew the previous Roku had been connected, not to Xfinity, but to a personal network that is password protected. I do keep track of passwords but what I thought was the right one didn't work and it would not connect to Xfinity wifi. I had mentioned this to Comcast but a requirement for working there is never listen. Suddenly got the idea of going to Xfinity ap and under help wrote recover network password. Screen showed network is my name_net and password phone number.

    So I tried and voila, Roku running. All my custom channels showed but I needed to put them back in preferred order.

    Amazon delivery guy had trouble carrying my new 16 kg kettle bell. He dropped it on the path and I had to tote it up all the porch steps. He was half my age and twice my size.

    I try not to buy from Amazon because they’re evil, but every once in awhile I break down if I can’t find what I need somewhere else.
