More than just the time of day, the clock is very large and includes AM/PM. The date is also quite readable. And its not just Tuesday, its Tuesday Morning, or Afternoon or Evening. Put the channel on a 19" display and it's still easy to read because the upper one third of the screen is dedicated to the clock. Use with either a Roku® player or Roku® TV. Add the channel at https://my.roku.com/add/CheckingHome
Registration is free! With a free account your limitations are: only one Roku player per account, only three active reminders at a time. Create as many reminders as you want, but only the first three active reminders will display on your TV screen. Paid subscriptions at $2.99/month remove the above restrictions.
As we get older the concept of time starts to drift away. It's common for older individuals to lose track of what day it is. Not only the day of the week, but also morning and afternoon (what part of the day is it) start to blur. The CheckingHome channel was designed specifically to address these issues. Put a small TV with the CheckingHome channel in your parents home, or care facility. Post reminders from your computer or phone to remind them of important events. Not just birthdays or anniversaries, but things like "9:00 am - Take your pills", or "Tuesday - Today is trash day". Or use the same information in an active household. You don't have to be older to take advantage of this channel.
In a small business, put one in your lobby, in your break room, in the locker room, hallway, everywhere! Add all your employees birthdays as annual events, they will automatically appear each day. Set reminders for weekly timecards, reminders for open enrollment.
Reminders can be daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or annual. You can even set a daily reminder that only shows 1, 2, 3 or more days a week.
What you need: a TV and a Roku® player. Or a Roku TV. Yes, its a fairly expensive clock, but its a very useful fairly expensive clock. How expensive?
You can buy a brand new 18 inch TV for as low as $79 or less on sale - perfect size for a kitchen. Roku TVs run from $100 up. One paid subscription can drive multiple Roku players.
Roku players range from $29 to $99, but the low end player works well because there is no video streaming. And it works in Standard Definition (buy a Roku Express Plus which can drive an older TV if it has an RCA video input).
The screen can be launched automatically using Webteams AutoLaunch screen saver, https://my.roku.com/add/AutoLaunch.
Put the channel on your Roku.com account with the TV at Grandma-Pop's house and add birthday's and reminders for them. Click the Support button above to learn more.
