   I am in a situation much like yours where it should be obvious that if we   
   don't even have cable service, we won't have over-the-air TV service   
   either, which is because we are remote and that's how we like things to be.   
      
   We are WISP for Internet and telephone and that's all we have other than   
   electricity from the power company. The water, and septic are not services   
   which are provided to us. Only garbage pickup happens once every two weeks   
   by truck and that's it for services pretty much.   
      
   The goal here is just to see if these Roku sticks can be made to work,   
   where the only HDMI "INPUT" we have is the computer monitor, which we can   
   free up if we use a different cable out the back of the desktop tower to   
   the computer monitor.

   Thank you for confirming that the Playstation 3 and DVD player HDMI ports   
   are not going to be useful since they're both outputs.   
      
   That leaves the only HDMI input being the computer monitor.   
      
   For those who have a Roku streaming stick, do you concur that the sticks   
   should work in the computer monitor HDMI input? The computer is a modern   
   Windows computer desktop.
