[Electronics-Talk] Roku Apps and Spectrum Box

Tue Nov 13 12:35:04 UTC 2018

Guys,,

I have been following this thread quite closely on the list, as I take 
great interest.

I have actually set up a group on Groups.IO specifically for the 
discussion of all things television, whether that is discussing shows 
you like to watch, accessibly programming and opperating various 
different cable settop boxes, or for that mind, sattelite set top boxes, 
using various streaming devices like Roku, Apple TV, Fire lineup 
products like the stick, etc, and more.

We hardly have any members at all, maybe only 2 or 3 at this time. I 
really would like to get the word out.

I saw this thread and started thinking, this would be a fantastic way 
for me to let everyone know.

If you'd like to join, I'd love to have you as a member. You can send a 
blank message with no subject either to:

TV-Talk+subscribe at groups.io

Phonetically, that is t v dash talk, the plus sign, subscribe, at groups 
dot i o, all ran together.

You'll receive an e-mail backk to confirm. As usual, just respond to 
that message, and you'll be added, like you would with most any other 
type mailing list.

Thanks, and take care.

Chris.
