Not sure... I haven't actually owned a TV since 2002! My roommates several years ago had one with cable, and it really was necessary to flip channels to find something interesting and there were still ads. I just didn't have patience for it.

I generally get what I want from Amazon or a local equivalent, either streaming or just buy the seasons of shows I want (e.g. Halt and Catch Fire) and watch it on my 27" computer monitor. Sometimes, if there's a group, I'll use a projector.

So you own a 27 inch monitor connected to a computer that allows you to watch video over the internet and that’s somehow different than the typical household these days that owns a television connected to a Roku device (a specialized computer) or that has built in processor that allows them to watch video on demand over the internet?
I'm not the one to ask. I'm not familiar with Roku devices and haven't owned a TV since 2002.

I'm sorry if you don't like this, but it's the truth.
