Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Thanks, le nubian and Gris! It took a while of playing around with it, but I've got this all set up now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Unfortunately Android File Transfer doesn't work with the Galaxy Tab. It's Kies (unwieldy) or nothing. Dropbox, I suppose, if you can wait.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

So, I can get Amazon Prime for half price. Anybody know what the free-with-Prime video selection is like?

Debet,

it is okay, not earth-shattering. The worst part (which may not affect you) is that the Amazon channel interface on Roku is 100 kinds of ass. It is almost unusable.

I have Amazon prime free for a year. I think I can stream stuff to the tivo for free, but does anyone know how it works?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yes. you have to register your TiVo through Amazon and then when you buy or rent a video, you can have it sent to your TiVo from the pulldown menu.

Hey. New board.

I know nothing about the streaming - haven't used it. But Prime itself is the most amazing of all amazing things. I buy almost everything through it. I recently got a lawnmower. It was on my front porch less than 24 hours after I clicked "Buy", since I paid the $3.99 for one day shipping.

Just checked, and I have free shipping, but would have to pay $40/year for the other stuff.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

But Prime itself is the most amazing of all amazing things.

Completely. I recommend getting three friends and splitting the cost. I've been on a stranger's account for years. $75 a year is a little steep, but $20? Totally worth it.

Prime is $75 now? I remember when it was $49.
