We loaded up a Pandora Christmas music station to play over the TV while we decorated our tree.

I had fun showing my husband a the international radio stations we can get over the Tune In channel (or whatever it's called).

Lots of free old TV and radio shows available, too, if you like vintage stuff.

And NASA TV is cool.

Obligatory Netflix mention: Since our ISP upgraded to fiberoptic, we can easily stream Netflix over the Roku and the Wii simultaneously without any problems. Fabulous!
