Went out and got a Chromecast to play with. Now with my 13 year old TV
it is not going to work very well as the set doesn't support 1080p. But
it did run in the messy display where about 4 screens are overlaid but
sorta readable. But Chromecast works! I can select streams from my
phone, tablet, desktops and laptops. So it is all set up when I get the
new set.

I've watched a couple movies on HuluPlus with no commercials. Those
were "for rent" on Amazon and VUDU. The latter two use better
encoding as HuluPlus looks a bit like it was run through ffmpeg with
the fast conversion preset. I also watched this week's episode of
"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D" on HuluPlus but it has commercials though no
more than one minute's worth per break which is tolerable.
Today the cable gets cut and the DVR back to Comcast. We pay way too
much for entertainment. I tried to keep my bill managed but some
folks pay over $200 a month. My broadband and phone is on another
service.

If you don't have HuluPlus and have PayPal there is a one month free
trial of HuluPlus if you sign up with your PayPal account. I was
surprised at the number of shows I figured that might have to "rent" on
Amazon are actually available with the subscription.
