Conference Follow Up
Apr 10th
Ok, it was rad to watch conference but I missed the Priesthood session because of work, how do I watch it now? Well look no further then the LDS Video Podcast Channel on Roku. Rather then sitting in front of my computer I can just watch it on TV while sitting in front of my Laptop. Check it out if you are a Roku user.
On a side tech note, after having a successful internet install at my building, I’ve been asked to begin working on one other building in our stake and maybe fixing the set up at the stake center. weeeeeee. . .
Conference on Roku
Apr 2nd
Yes I love my Roku, and its gotten better with the upcoming Mormon Channel. I’ve been 1 of just under 200 people who are testing out the Alpha version of the Mormon Channel for Roku and it’s been very cool. Since I no longer have DirecTV I had 2 choices: go watch conference at the church or sit in front of my computer… I now get to choose sitting on my couch in my Sunday clothes and enjoy conference from my Roku. Ok, I don’t watch conference in my Sunday cloths, since it’s been warm it’s more like my shorts and T-shirt. But I’ve told you a bit too much about my dressing habits.
The Mormon Channel is still in development but they were able to get it ready enough to stream conference using the stream that was already set up for the iPad. Yes thats right if you have an iPad you can sit on your toilet and watch conference, in your Sunday best…
If the Mormon Channel shapes up to be what I think is should be, we would have access to past conferences, and any video the church has ever produced (fingers crossed). Thus making it a worth while idea to put Roku’s in the buildings that have High Speed internet in them. It would be super easy to lock them down enough that only the church channel is available. The Lord has blessed us with some marvelous technology, I can’t wait to use it!
