I should probably re-evaluate my set up. I've let my Netflix expire, and I'm not renewing my Prime when it's up in February. So going forward I'll have Hulu and HBO go/now (I always forget which is which). Right now I have a shield in my bedroom and a Roku in the living room. The Roku is fine, it does what I expect and it's not overly annoying (the firestick was the god damned worst), the shield however pisses me off constantly. The touch strip on the remote is the fucking worst, and the last time I let it update it installed some shit app and won't let me uninstall it, so I don't let it update anymore (nothing pisses me off more than bloat I'm not allowed to remove).

I'm holding off on putting together a real set up until I see how badly the new Disney shit contributes to the fragmentation of the streaming universe. I don't like pirating shit, and I haven't pirated media/software in probably a decade but at this point I almost want to do it just out of spite.

For now, all the shit I REALLY want to watch is covered by Hulu (Fargo, Archer, Venture Bros), HBO (GoT and all the other good shit) and twitch. I do have a decent antenna for OTA but I have some real unfortunate geography around me which really hurts the antenna's ability to pick up OTA broadcast.
