In my boring world I follow financial info. I’ve logged onto the Federal Reserve’s site to be listed on several of their publications, but they suggest using an RSS feed to consolidate this information from several reports.
I’ve never used an RSS feed, does anyone on this list have a suggestion for a good one, are there big differences in these?
Many thanks for the help.

Re: Streaming services from my iPad
I sent an article out to the group many months ago, it was a study of how many of the “FREE” Wi-Fi’s” have malware. ?The folks at the Coffee shops, the libraries, the motels don’t keep their systems up to date and the bad guys know this and take advantage of unsuspecting folks using theier Wi-Fi. ?I never use anything but Cellular when I am away from home, With myself on AT&T and my Wife on Verizon normally I have fast enough speed to do all I need. ?It’s just my peculiarity. ?

Two TVs.
The Roku Ultra is connected to the main TV in the family room. I use the bigger box it there for several reasons.
? It has a slot in the side for flash memory. I installed a 64 GB card, the number of services it can handle is just about infinite.
? It has a USB slot so I can watch a movie off a hard drive or DVD drive.
? I supports both Ethernet and WiFi. Since I have an Ethernet connection right there, I use that instead of WiFi.
? Its remote is better than the remotes on lesser Rokus.
? It supports Dolby Atmos sound to talk to my sound bar.
? It future proofs me if I want to upgrade my current box to one with 4K video. I’m in no hurry to do this.
The Fire Stick is on the back of the TV in our bedroom. It only connects via WiFi and has very few bells and whistles. We rarely watch TV in the bedroom. Most of my bedroom watching is West Coast MLB in the summer.

I don’t have an Apple TV. I think it’s way over-priced in comparison to the competition, which have pretty much the same capabilities. I have a Roku and a Fire Stick.

I have connected the Fire Stick to motel and AirB&B networks, and it was?. I don’t have a Roku Stick—I have an Ultra—so I don’t travel with it, but the Roku interface.
The interface on the Roku doesn’t bother me at all. It’s pretty rudimentary, but it gets the job done. I usually navigate to different services with voice control, and I’ve programmed a couple of buttons on the remote to immediately take me to some usual places.

I forgot to answer the other question…
For just streaming and portability, I’d get something like an Amazon Fire Stick or a Roku Stick. They’re each not much bigger than a couple of sticks of gum. When traveling, you can control them with an iPhone, so the remote needn’t be packed.
