Please, stop doing this. Don’t do it with transformers. Don’t do it with set top boxes.

One Roku box and a SkyAngel IPTV STB in the living room, and soon to be a second Roku in the bedroom. A Playon server running on a Virtual Machine on my Ubuntu desktop. Oh, and an indoor antenna for watching local programming. And, a promise to the wife to get TWC cable if this doesn’t work out ;^/. So far, it has. Plenty of shows to watch on Netflix/Hulu+, including series we’ve never watched before. I’m liking it so far.
