I have a dedicated laptop hooked up to my big screen tv all the time (which is also hooked up to my home theatre stereo system) so when I'm watching my programs, its on a 60 inch with surround sound. In my tiny home, it's like being in a cinema!
Acorn TV streams selected British TV programming. My laptop is way across the room from my big-screen, home theater system and entertainment tower and besides, wouldn't I have to go over to the second laptop hooked up to the TV to choose what I wanted to stream and start it from there? If so, that seems like a lot of inconvenience but then I'm new at this. Maybe you can access the TV laptop and work it through your main laptop or computer?

Still I wonder if I would have full Acorn TV programming through the Roku service accessible through my blu-ray internet streaming programming choices or if full Acorn content is just accessible through one of their boxes or streaming sticks. And I've been to the Roku website so often my eyes are crossed and can't find out the answer.
