Netflix Love

I am quite fond of Netflix streaming. I am no good at keeping up with a series from week to week. Battle Star Galactica and Firefly are prime examples.

No less delightful are wonderful old British series like MI5 which entertained me for days and I watched every one. MI-5 is expiring soon sadly (opps, seems to be back). A Touch of Frost is fantastic along with others I can no longer remember. Luther was good, Rosemary and Thyme, Midsummer Murders. etc.

Netflix streaming, as it exists now, is worth every penny.

Less attractive is the disc delivery, although I still have it.

My new Roku works well for streaming.
RoMote is a free app. that turns your Android into a Roku remote that works faster than the original remote, although the original is very good. Just enter the ip address assigned to your Roku. You may wish to assign a static ip to the Roku.

You can find Roku's assigned ip through Roku settings or just use Wireless Network Watcher on your PC from NirSoft
