Jon, I just opened the Windows network and sharing center and see that I now have a choice to allow media streaming and when I open that the two smart TVs show up. So I've allowed it and will give it a test later. The home network is hidden to the public (always has been). This is Windows 10; I haven't bothered to update to Win11; I tend to skip the OS offerings so maybe when Win12 comes out I'll make the move.

Sandra, good job finding new homes for so many things that were in your collection!

Amazon Prime day is approaching and I'm looking at replacing the Fire Stick in my office that spends way too much time twirling and reconnecting and often dropping programs. I see a Roku device on sale - does anyone use one of those? It's just a stick. What I want is a way to view a few apps, not worry about another new account for some device I'm using. (I see it lets me stream Essentrics, my stretching program, but it says I have to download from the Roku Channel store - so it looks like another account if I get one.)
