    It's a streaming media box. Runs on the interwebs.

    I have looked before at Netflix and unless I want to watch a show 2 seasons behind if they even have it or nothing in, he case of hulu they are not options for me. Maybe y'all are smarter than me but I can't find shows like moonshiners, Hatfield n McCoy moonshine, tickle, ax men, pickers, pawn stars, gold rush, Alaska the last frontier, Yukon men, and on and on. Oh a new one u found Alaska fold diggers, big bad wood and Yukon gold. Yea I'm a TV whore and watch it all even if its bad or fake once I start I finish it.

    There was a show called Dixie divers on the schedule but it never premiered and I never saw a commercial for it? Also the show Blue grass boys came on a few weeks ago but never on again??

    There is a private app called justintv that is a bunch of user created live streams of a lot of the shows you mentioned. You might not always be watching the latest episode, but the way I watch those type of shows it works for me. I can say for a fact that there is a channel that plays a mix of pawn stars, pickers, and storage wars and another that plays all the survival reality shows.

    Oh, I should mention that my parents have Mediacom and with Dads Mediacom address he can get fox now on the roku. Also, if he subscribed to hbo or epix, he could get the roku companions of those. What's more, he can access live streams of Cartoon Network and BTN on his computer and can also watch btn2go and ESPN3/watchespn on demand. "He" does this. Wink wink.

    Is this legal?? Or is this like a new firm of Napster and just a point till its caught up with? I mean history owns the rightsto pickers and pawn stars. How is there some channel that streams them or is it connected to the Hearst empire who is an owner or arts and entertainment corp or whoever the other owner is?

    Justintv is supposed to be people broadcasting their own original content, but many broadcast copyrighted materials and get taken down once there is a complaint, which puts justintv not at fault. The broadcasters almost immediately put it back up under a different user name and life goes on.

    Yea I agree with you. To me its like posting something here, anything the mods don't like, they delete it and you keep posting it till the ban you then setting up a new account just to go through it all again, just so someone can watch it?? Seems like a huge waste of time!!!

    Yep, and I add favourites and some of them never seem to get taken down for some reason, but every month or so I have to refind my Simpsons channel.

    Other than hell on wheels, every show you listed is watched in this house. But they are all downloaded.

    Do you pay for them or is it free? Can you watch the new episodes like all the HBO stuff airs new on Sunday can you watch them that night or do you have to wait a week? Also how about the True Blood? Sorry for the barage of questions but Im really trying to sell her on this so we can get rid of the dish and save some money. Right now Im paying $88 a month for tv I would love to cut that down if at all possible.

    Illegal downloads on pirate bay. We put them on the PC which runs a mymedia server that the roku connects to.

    If you have an hbo subscription I think you can watch them the next night, otherwise I know hulu plus has a reasonable price and next day viewing for many shows. We have next day viewing with fox because of dad's Mediacom subscription.
