One of the channels I knew that we would both miss is MSNBC. In looking through the content on Roku, I found Roku Newscaster. The channel has ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, FOX, NPR, BBC and a few others. I just watched yesterday's Rachael Maddow show. The feeds are from the following day. Watching breaking news isn't this channel's strong point. But it is not only free, but free of commercials. Plus, I can pause the feed to answer the door.
Somewhere I read that Vizio didn't include signal strength meters to keep the cost down. Yesterday I discovered that under System, there is a signal strength meter. It gives a numerical number, it looks like from 1 to 100, on the strength of the antenna input. You do have to go back to the menu every time you change channels. Not a big deal, but that does slow you up.
