Re: [CODE4LIB] Qualitative Analysis software and is there a Qualitative Data equivalent to CKAN

There is some work comparing topic modeling to qualitative analysis. Here are two papers I'd suggest: Baumer, Eric P. S., David Mimno, Shion Guha, Emily Quan, and Geri K. Gay. “Comparing Grounded Theory and Topic Modeling: Extreme Divergence or Unlikely Convergence?” Journal of the Association for

Re: [CODE4LIB] Roku - TV - Over the Air

I can understand the thought process behind feeling this question isn't an appropriate use of this list. However, according to https://wiki.code4lib.org/MailingList the list was originally more specifically about the use of "computer programming in the area of libraries" and has evolved to be "muc

Re: [CODE4LIB] Roku - TV - Over the Air

I beg to differ. Charles is a very frequent poster to this list, and while his questions tend to be more nuts & bolts than most, I find them interesting and occasionally challenging. This is the closest thing to a technology in libraries list that is still active, and the inventory of tech resourc

Re: [CODE4LIB] Roku - TV - Over the Air

Hello Charles, This question really piqued my curiosity about this and about how other public library systems are managing this type of service for their patrons. A lot of them are renting out Roku devices to their users (an example: https://hplibrary.org/roku-devices). I know budgets are very

Re: [CODE4LIB] Roku - TV - Over the Air

You don't need a "digital antenna"; It's all just radio waves. You do need a digital tuner. I know it's not a solution for checkout by library patrons, but I built my own single-bay, "Gray-Hoverman" antenna without reflectors out of scrap wire and wood for about $5 in parts and no tools othe

Re: [CODE4LIB] Roku - TV - Over the Air

I'll chime in too as someone who lives in a state with NO air TV (Delaware). We have a Roku with Hulu Live. It is expensive, but still cheaper than cable. This is the only way I've found to watch local news / weather. Pluto, freevee, Roku TV, all have free national news / weather / movies etc. Thi

Re: [CODE4LIB] Roku - TV - Over the Air

As an over-the-air antenna and Roku user, I'll chime in. Yes, over-the-air TV channel reception is highly variable based on location. There are a number of sites that can help locate what transmitters might be in your area, e.g. https://www.antennasdirect.com/transmitter-locator.html I always hav

Re: [CODE4LIB] Roku - TV - Over the Air

Hello Charles, This question is also valid in our community. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Is the purpose to enable patrons to stream local & PBS channels? I've had little luck with using a digital antenna for my television as well. I've not used a Roku device (Amazon makes a similar Fi

Re: [CODE4LIB] Roku - TV - Over the Air

Hi Charles, This is a really important issue for our communities, especially public libraries that have higher populations of underserved and low-income residents. I experimented myself with a hi-def antenna when I "cut the cord" from cable, and even with my own technical experience and financi

Re: [CODE4LIB] Roku - TV - Over the Air

Dear Charles: IMHO, this is not an appropriate use of this list. Roku support is online at https://support.roku.com. Please don't send questions like this to a list with 4000 people on it. respectfully yours, ander kierig -- ander kierig Application Development University of Minnesota Libra

[CODE4LIB] Roku - TV - Over the Air

Hi my esteemed listmates, We seem to generally broach more advanced tech questions than this but we have some patrons visiting with simpler needs. I was trying to help patrons locate any outdoor TV antenna or tower climbers who could help with their outdoor antennas but it seems they have all ret
