NeedleinA Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) For those of you who have a ROKU or who might be considering ditching their cable bill, here are some LDS type/related/helpful channels on ROKU in case you didn't know. Also, if you are asking, what is ROKU?, here is a little link by the Church on it: link 1. Mormon Channel: Great for quick family home evening videos, Mormon messages, etc. 2. BYU TV: Live BYUtv, Live General Conference, repeats of BYU sports/football, STUDIO C family comedy, some very interesting church related documentaries - I really enjoyed :Fires of Faith (history of the publishing of the bible in English) 3. FAIRMormonTV: LDS Apologetics, defending the faith and answering harder doctrine questions Non-LDS, but still enjoy 4. TED Talks: Lectures from a wide variety of topics 5. VidAngel: allows you to watch edited movies, @LiterateParakeet shared this one before.

From what I have read and from my sister who does use it, yes, you can put parameters into VidAngel, and it will custom edit your movie to your request. Example: click - no swearing or click - no nudity or click both. There are other parameters, you decide your personal tolerance level. Perhaps @LiterateParakeet might share better insight than I.

I think you did great. Actually, I haven't made an account with vidangel yet either, but I've been meaning to. Yes, that is my understanding that you can set it to the parameters of your choice. For example, you might be okay with violence, but not sex, or the h-word but not the f-word. I think that is it, but again, i haven't tried it yet. Thanks for reminding me though, there are a couple R-rated movies I would really like to see, like Good Will Hunting. I've seen that edited on TV and it is a powerful story.

estradling75 Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 I've used it... My teenage son wanted to watch the Matrix because of alot of geeky pop cultural references it inspired and that he was missing.. So I fired up Vidangel... Set the filters that I wanted (yes some of the filters include language) and we watched it... Sunday21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LiterateParakeet Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 OH yeah, I've never seen the Matrix!!! Woo Hoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estradling75 Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Even if you have no desire to see a filtered movie.... the ability to stream a movie for a buck from the comfort of your home (instead of doing something like Red Box) makes it a pretty good deal Sunday21 and NeedleinA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday21 Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 I hope vidangel wins. I want to watch seven psychopaths. A dog kidnapping ring. Meant to be funny http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865656008/Major-Hollywood-studios-sue-movie-editing-service-VidAngel.html?pg=all Do not even think of trying to watch The Lobster. Premise:single people are sent to hotels where they have a few weeks to find a mate before they are turned into animals. Should have been hysterical. NOT. Gave up. Hmmm. What movies could I watch, if they would bleep the bad words? In the true north, cold and free, there used to be a channel that bleeped the bad words. I liked this a lot! The bleeping really added to the fun. Sadly this service is now gone. Who is our movie reviewer friend? Maybe, he can suggest some good movies that when bad words are removed will be family friendly. For example, About Time, lost the PG rating for a series of posters of a naked woman. For a female audience, no biggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi_Nephite Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 For some reason, I find it amusing that VidAngel allows you to filter The Ten Commandments (1956 version). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
