Thanks!

Has many great series. I think it cost me $25 a year. I watch it on Roku as I do Amazon, Hulu etc..

for I Claudius which I can't find anywhere other than on DVD and Brideshead Revisited which was being streamed on Netflix for a while.

is involved in the plot to register voters?

but i've never heard of acorn media?

Costs roughly $25 a year and well worth it. Lots of British series (they specialize).

is it like Netflix, or like hulu? i'll check it out.

not only from the UK but also from Canada, Australia, and Ireland. As a member, you also get free shipping and special deals on their catalog of DVDs. (They're originally a DVD publishing company based in the UK.)

and there is a 30 day trial period. $49 is a bit much for what they are offering.

and then we'll see. I'll still sign up though, they have British shows no-one else has. Sorry about that.

I'm still considering it if I can watch it on my TV. I gave my Roku away because my DVD player streams Netflix. Not sure if Acorn will work with it. I am totally addicted to British television and they have a good selection.

Have you watched I Claudius? Someone loaned me their set of DVDs a few years ago and I loved it. Have been looking to watch it again and Acorn has it.

... the first was the original in England in 1976 (I came here n '79). Then I saw it on PBS some years ago and again on Acorn. Might watch it agaqin too - 'cause it's brilliant!!
Acorn doesn't stay static though. New things are added and old ones dropped every few weeks. Been a member since they started and there's always something to watch.

You come by your British television addiction quite naturally then. I don't like to make broad generalizations, but overall I think British actors are far superior to most American actors. Obviously there are many exceptions, but I see a consistency in quality in British performances that I don't see so much here.

As for British programs, I find them more interesting and unpredictable.

So do you stream Acorn on a Roku?

for blu-ray players or smart TVs, because they'd have to design it new for each device, apparently.

If your TV allows you to plug your computer into it, though, you can watch by streaming on your computer.

maybe after Christmas, then try Acorn on a month-to-month basis.

Can reduce the price with online coupon for 15 % off.
I just did this last week when Comcast pulled the plug on Clear Qam. Was able to start streaming Acorn immediately on my ancient Roku.

I gave my old Roku away because my Sony DVD player streams Netflix. I never thought I'd need the Roku again, but evidently it streams a lot of things the DVD player doesn't.
