Just because I thought about them! Well, OK, not really… but this is awesome! I was thinking how cool it would be if the new-style Windows 8 apps were listed in a separate menu WITHIN ClassicShell! And bang, a new version was announced (right in ClassicShell itself!) Here’s what they say: “It adds some missing features to Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 – like a classic start menu, start button, a toolbar for Windows Explorer and others.” Yes, but it also adds in the new Windows 8 software (like the Kindle viewer, etc.) and zowie! There is is! So cool!

Thanks to the folks at the Roku Channel list available at: https://mkvxstream.blogspot.com for this email:

Hi Dr. Bill,

In reference to your post there is now a nice working 3rd party solution to watch YouTube videos on Roku with a new Roku channel (private) “channel code” VideoBuzz
https://www.drbill.tv/2011/02/14/the-roku-box-secret-code/

This has replaced the old RateRix channel which offered a limited workaround.

We recently added your channel to our list and would really appreciate a mention of our website mkvxstream.com and our large Roku Channel list on your site.

Thanks,

Ben
