Useless throws the most adorable tantrums when he's caught fucking up the meanings of words like "streaming". Awww.

Awww. , Useless. So much for "Ignored". You fail again. Plus, Useless, you've been busted too many times for anyone to believe you're not reading my posts, anyhow. It's just your excuse for cowering. Awww.

Well, he can watch it on his computer, but not on his TV. I suppose he's "streaming" even if he's continuing his own-nose chopping boycott of Roku.

Are you on retainer for Roku or something?

You sure seem unable to drop it.

You bought one, but can't set it up. That's funny.

It's a little funny ha ha and a little the other kind.

No, I'm perfectly capable of setting up Roku. I used to build complex computer networks, you fools.

I just didn't want to pay through the nose for stuff I don't need.

That's all.

Try to grasp that. Might take you a year or two.

[neoplacebo]

Computer networks are not complex. I myself have had to provide price quotes for systems with up to 1,000 data outlets, most of those outlets also housing a voice only jack and maybe also a CATV jack. All you need to know is not to run any Cat 6 cable longer than about 295 feet (this is where you need to know where to put your data closets, patch panels, racks, routers, etc). Fiber optic is even easier; no real limit on cable length within a building. I always priced Berk Tek cable and Ortronics hardware since that was what our technicians were certified in. The most tedious part was measuring distance from outlet to patch panel but I had a little wheel that I could roll across the drawing after setting the wheel tool to the same scale as the drawings. Nothing to it.

If only there were some way to get programs on a Roku without paying for them....oh, wait.


Nah, he's flummoxed at setting it up.

The idiot still thinks he has to pay to use the Roku device that he bought.
And he keeps doubling down on his very own dumbassedness. What a dumb-ass

Thanks for confirming you're a slug and a liar.

Not that it wasn't already quite obvious.

It's that memory thing again.

There are pages of Useless discussion about it from a mere three weeks ago.

As a matter of fact, Roku demanded my credit card number before it would create an account, even for presumably free service.

I was not willing to give them that info.

Case closed.

So is Useless a liar or brain damaged?

You decide.

Less than a month ago.

I'm leaning a brain damaged liar.

Again, that is not what I recall. It wanted MONEY.

Doesn't' matter what you recall. It's easy to find out.

From the Roku.com site (emphasis mine) https://support.roku.com/article/115015595547

What is a Roku® account?
Your free Roku account allows you to activate your Roku streaming device and download channels from the Roku Channel Store. You can also use your Roku account to access your Premium Subscriptions on the Roku mobile app and TheRokuChannel.com.

Roku never charges any fees for creating a Roku account, however you can subscribe to the services offered by some channels using Roku Pay.

Avoid activation fees and support charges

Note: If you see unfamiliar activity, learn what to do if there is a charge you do not recognize.
If you own multiple streaming devices, your Roku account allows you to sync them so that channels installed on one device are automatically added to all others.

A device will prompt you to link it to your Roku account during the activation process. Third party devices, such as a Samsung Smart TV, are automatically linked to your account when you sign into The Roku Channel. Channels may require you to sign in the first time you open them on a device.

Your Roku account also saves playback in The Roku Channel, so you can start a movie or TV show on one device and resume playback on a different device signed into your Roku account.

We all know Sluggo (aka GoCubsGo) is a serial liar. This is consistent with that diagnosis.

I repeat: ROKU required a credit card number for registering for a supposedly free account. Now, it may not have charged said credit card unless a fee-for-service was requested, but still I refused to give them my credit card number.

Go ahead Sluggo and lie some more. It's what you do. And your silly insults just reflect on your bad character.

You're calling O Really and Roku liars, not me.

You've repeatedly demonstrated your memory is not to be trusted.

Remember?

I believe you. I guess Roku knows you better than we do. In my case, and ostensibly everybody else but you, Roku offered to store a credit card number in case you want to buy a pay service in the future, but it was absolutely not required to set up an account and watch free stuff. As the instructions I copied and posted for you a few weeks ago. So if for some reason Roku found you untrustworthy to use a free service, I guess it's just between you and them.

I don't really care if you use Roku, but believe it or not, I'm just trying to be helpful. It reminds me when Lady O was reluctant to use Dashlane, a password manager. She was always having to re-set a password because she forgot/lost it, re-used lots of the same password, had a whole list of passwords on a writing pad, and bitched about it every time she had trouble accessing a site. But she didn't want to use Dashlane because she didn't trust "them", was afraid "they'd" lose her data, afraid she'd forget the master password, maybe - although she didn't say this - she was afraid Dashlane would sell her (encrypted) data to Russians or (worse) Repugs who would poison all her sites and steal everything. Nevermind that I'd been using Dashlane without problem for years and in fact kept up with her stuff on it so I could retrieve her password when she forgot it. Eventually she gave up and tried it - now doesn't know how she managed without it so long and occasionally calls herself an idiot for being such a luddite.

No doubt, Roku is a good tool to have in ones tech/entertainment arsenal. whether or how often one uses it may vary. But yeah, it is funny for an experienced professional techie to do the equivalent of insisting on using serial ports and rejecting USB.

[Ulysses]

Well, I still have that Roku stick (somewhere) but really haven't felt the need.

And yes, it DID require that I give it my credit card number before it would be of any use.

OK, you got a defective model. Or it may just be an SBCAD error.
