I'm so happy to hear you have hot water again.

Did you get a notice from WAG's that it could take 10-15 days to get your rebates from January? I did, what's up with that?

Lisa,
Oh me too! :) I did get that email from Walgreens, but I my gift card money reloaded about two days after. I guess they're just covering their butts.

Suz,
So the Roku box was $100 and like $15 shipping. You just pay your monthly fee and yes you still get your movies (so $8.99 or $13.99 etc). They are constantly adding tv, movies etc. If you go into your netflix account online and look at 'watch instantly' you'll see everything you can get for our tv. As for current stuff, they have a TON of Showtime and CBS shows (current episodes of United States of Tara, Diary of a Call Girl, Heros and CSI etc...) They are in the works to get websites like Hulu (sp?) on board. And they are working on a movie 'channel'.

For us, basic cable is $13 a month so I'm hoping we'll go down to that by the summer - I think we're at 40/50 bucks a month now (we're bundled so it's not clear.)

I originally bought the box for my husband but I'm in love with Roku - we fight over it. Old school 90210!!!! :)

If you have any other questions let me know!
