I am already transitioning to streaming, I am working my way through the Amazon Prime documentaries They have just about anything that PBS ever aired. I talked about the American Experience show about the MLK assassination the other day. Today I am watching Frontline season 27 ep 8. This is contemporary with the 2009 crash and it is pretty interesting, carving through some of the myths we may have. I occasionally watch something from Amazon Prime's inventory. My large HD TV is not "smart" (connected to the Internet) so I use the Sony PS4 to stream stuff from Amazon. Their prime account entitles you to many movies and archived shows as you mention for free. I can also access Hulu, Netfix and other sources but I don't watch enough to bother with them. Smart tvs are cheap nowadays. I paid 800 for a 60 inch smart plasma tv at good old Walmart. A side benefit is that I can heat the house with it. Mine can become "smart" if I buy a Roku wireless streaming stick that plugs into the TV's USB port. It's a 65" and I bought it before having Internet connectivity became built-in on most TVs. Accessing the 'net via the PS4 is just as effective and it works fine. I just don't watch TV enough to warrant buying another TV just for built-in Internet connectivity. Most of the time I just use a little 23" HD TV that sits on my desk beside my computer monitor. We use the Roku. Works very well. Gets Amazon Prime. Worth the money. |
