Yeah. I go to bed about the same time kiddos do, and Julie stays up and watches TV. I typically on any given week, get to watch about 3 television shows that I want to watch, and maybe about 3 movies, either weekend or evening. I just wish I could hook roku up out in the garage, and watch it on the big screen.

Gotcha, one last option would be to use a computer since they typically have VGA\Audio jack outputs. Then you could pop a DVD in the drive, pull up a movie on Netflix, watch a video on Youtube, etc.

You have a good point, I could do that, but an adapter and a Roku, or Apple TV would be pretty easy to wire in as well. I just didn't want to spend a lot of money yet, because I don't know how much time I will have to use it. I put together what I have so far for free, just stuff I had left over.
Chad, if you still have the Idiocracy movie, I would still like to borrow it.

Season 1 & 2 are several years old, if you want the latest ones head over to Roadkill's Youtube page:

I'm an avid fan so I pay for "Motor Trend On Demand" to view the episodes right when they come out (vs. waiting a month for it to release to Youtube)
They also have several other shows that aren't showed on Youtube (like Roadkill Garage, Roadkill Extra, etc.) so I semi-justify the $5 a month subscription. I mostly just like to support his type of automotive entertainment

Yep I was just saying they were released on Netflix-- We cut out allot of expenses recently-- just stuff we don't need-- I no longer have cable- and only PAY for Netflix (not to say that there isn't um other ways of watching stuff) we went from $200 a month to about $40 because of our internet plan. ( high speed- lower price) There are several other things we are doing without too- I cut my lunches back to once a week but I don't really miss them-- I just want to save up for a camper and car trailer-- Maybe put a for sale sign on the yellow truck -- maybe not-- we will have our house paid off in a little while so we are on the right track- I have Calista college to save up for and she will want a decent car fro school in about 7 years-- and I don't really have that long until retirement- I mean it seems like a ton of time but I am sure it will creep on me-- and they say you should have 1.2 million for retirement saved up--- When I started my retirement planning the goal was $750,000 to have saved up so I am already 1/2 a million behind. :-) Story of my life always a day late and a dollar short :-)

I watched the old Charleton Heston movie, The Mountain Men, last night on tv. It was ok but had a lot of cliches. I have an old Muzzleloader magazine around here with an article that was written when the movie was made back in the '70s.
