[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 8462349, member: 18182"] True, of course. But if you don't already own one, a new TV isn't cheap. Even on Black Friday. Personally, I can't survive modern society without my Roku connected to my dumb TV. I dream of upgrading to a giant smart TV someday. But I have friends who just aren't into streaming who are hesitant to purchase new equipment like [USER=19675]@Dannyalcatraz[/USER], they are just not excited enough about what's available. And . . . . while I don't entirely get the hesitance to pick up a $20 streaming stick, I can totally understand not wanted to spend hundreds on a new TV. I have a buddy who's wife is, for some reason, severely opposed to all forms of streaming services, she views them like they are some sort of scam. So, since he follows orders like a good soldier, he misses out too on all of the great stuff that's only available streaming. For them, it isn't about purchasing new equipment or not being interested in the shows, it's opposition to the very idea of streaming. Weird. Oh, and to get back on topic . . . . I'm going to go watch the Disco premiere and latest episode of Prodigy, followed by the Ready Room. On my Roku-connected dumb TV, via Paramount+. Sorry Morrus. :) [/QUOTE]
