Ours came with Roku, and it allows us to download apps to our TVs homescreen to watch the streaming services we have, like Hulu, Netflix, Amazon prime, etc.<br /> I guess it's basically a TV+computer </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-cable-what-kind-of-screen-tv-do-you-have#post-2574208 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 22:51:06 +0000 Corduroy 2574208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a 61" TV, wall mounted, no additional boxes or wires and only requires one remote. That technological feat is my husband's pride and joy. We don't have cable or broadcast but we have Netflix and Hulu. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-cable-what-kind-of-screen-tv-do-you-have#post-2574199 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 22:38:30 +0000 JenGirl 2574199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: Our TV's just a cheap Toshiba.

The projector is connected to Xbox, Laptop, DVD player. We have it in a separate room because we don't like having a TV or similar in the living room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-cable-what-kind-of-screen-tv-do-you-have#post-2574082 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 20:15:52 +0000 Maysprout 2574082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRoo: @hilsy85: what's a smart TV? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-cable-what-kind-of-screen-tv-do-you-have#post-2573578 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 12:49:14 +0000 kes18 2573578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have cable but I have a TV and a digital antenna (gets the free local channels- abc, nbc, cbs, pbs, etc) and then a streaming device (roku mostly and one amazon stick). I sign into my parents accounts to access netflix, amazon prime, hbo, fox sports, espn, etc. Roku is the best but I bought the amazon stick because it had one specific app that wasn't on the roku. I have the roku 3 I think (the faster one) and it's definitely the best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-cable-what-kind-of-screen-tv-do-you-have#post-2573574 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 12:43:36 +0000 MrsRoo 2573574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stream everything on our smart tv with Roku, no cable subscription. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-cable-what-kind-of-screen-tv-do-you-have#post-2573528 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 12:20:58 +0000 hilsy85 2573528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got a smart tv with Roku already installed, so we can stream Netflix, amazon prime, hulu, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-cable-what-kind-of-screen-tv-do-you-have#post-2573525 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 12:18:49 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2573525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have an old desktop computer in our entertainment center cabinet and use our big tv as a monitor. We have a wireless keyboard that we use as a remote. We can watch pretty much everything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-cable-what-kind-of-screen-tv-do-you-have#post-2573475 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 11:47:57 +0000 looch 2573475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @Mrs. Lemon-Lime.

Really just whatever was closest to 200$ on amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-cable-what-kind-of-screen-tv-do-you-have#post-2573406 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 11:12:17 +0000 mediagirl 2573406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a computer hooked up to our TVs and watch TV through an antenna or through the computer/Roku. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-cable-what-kind-of-screen-tv-do-you-have#post-2573401 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 11:07:21 +0000 lamariniere 2573401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@honeybear: it's a bit complicated and my DH set it all up (tech geek). The projector brand is Sanyo and we bought it off of a friend 5 years ago and it's still going strong. For sound, it's plugged into a Bose docking station speaker thing. For the videos, it's hooked it up to a Raspberry Pi. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-cable-what-kind-of-screen-tv-do-you-have#post-2573393 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 11:01:54 +0000 honeybear 2573393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: What kind of projector? Do you have to move it every time you want to watch a movie? And how is the sound? Apologies for all the questions, but I'm interested in maybe doing something like this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-cable-what-kind-of-screen-tv-do-you-have#post-2573388 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 10:59:44 +0000 honeybear 2573388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have relatively big monitors for our computers and use those sometimes. But we watch most movies with friends at their house, and they've got a big fancy TV. We're screen moochers, I guess, but we do bring dinner! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-cable-what-kind-of-screen-tv-do-you-have#post-2573383 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 10:57:08 +0000 lamariniere 2573383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a projector that we project onto a white wall when we want to watch movies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-cable-what-kind-of-screen-tv-do-you-have#post-2573381 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 10:57:05 +0000 PawPrints 2573381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't watch broadcast TV or have cable. We have a 55" 1080p TV mounted above our fireplace, hooked up to the Xbox One which is how we watch Netflix, Amazon streaming, HBO Go, Youtube, etc. Totally perfect setup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-cable-what-kind-of-screen-tv-do-you-have#post-2573378 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 10:55:20 +0000 Maysprout 2573378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JenGirl: What kind of TV do you have? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-cable-what-kind-of-screen-tv-do-you-have#post-2573372 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 10:52:48 +0000 JenGirl 2573372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just use a monitor cord to link the laptop to the TV and have the TV set as a second monitor. Super cheap and easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-cable-what-kind-of-screen-tv-do-you-have#post-2573349 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 10:33:10 +0000 Maysprout 2573349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just watch stuff on the iPad or computer but with more of us it might be nice to have the option of sending it to a bigger screen. We don't really need the TV aspect of it. Anyone have a simple cheap setup like this that can recommend a screen? </p>
