I have been watching Ham Nation TV show for the past three months. Really
interesting & cool information about ham radio featuring Gordon West/WB6NOA
and Bob Heil/K9EID (Heil Microphone founder) do this hour show every week on
ham radio topics. This particular show Bob Heil is not there. The actual
tour of MFJ is about 35-minutes into the video which I watch via a Roku Box
(explained below) that I can fast forward. But the show can be watched on
your computer if you have high speed Internet.
If you have high speed Internet, select the highest speed and then the video
will appear.
I have a Roku Box <http://www.roku.com/> (wireless version), about $70.00
at Walmart

of Roku Box's ($79.95) in stock at the Dunkirk Walmart Store today. There
is a $99.99 model with a few more bells and whistles but I am very pleased
with the model I bought. There is no other cost once you get the Roku Box
other than an HDMI cable if you need one. It comes with RCA cables but the
picture was awful using them. One gets lots of free TV shows from sports,
news, movies, cooking, tech stuff and so on. This not main stream TV you are
used to, this is Internet source shows, over 300 shows. The news shows you
get 10-minute highlights of CNN, ABC, Fox News and etc. and full versions of
shows on other topics. I watch Twit.TV mostly which is about computers; new
gadgets, security, new products and etc. I do pay $10.00 to Netflix to
receive their movie stream to the TV and that is my only expense. Cut
Direct TV cord three years ago!
