Crackles's been a nice service and pretty well done thus far, with the exception of the way in which the commercials are cut into the programs with sometimes some very rough exits and re-entries to the programming.
Tonite, (not sure for how long its been this way) saw you had to "login" to get access via the ROKU. Went to their site, registered, confirmed with e-mail and can use their site easily.
Tried twice to enter info to the crackle screen on my ROKU and was told twice something was wrong with my password or e-mail. Observations: 1) The "shows the letters for a second or two" on the password is annoying. We're not talking banking here, we're talking a FREE service. A "show letters" option would help eliminate issues, especially for those with repeated letters or numbers in their info. 2) It's a mighty LONG way to register on your streaming box, if, like many you don't have a real keyboard to use. With a roku or a universal remote, registering this way is cumbersome. and finally.....
3) I know its been a long day for me, from a morning job, to overseeing a new toilet install and flooring at our offices, to a new PC install for an answering system, and the list goes on and on...but...when I try TWICE to get the login on the box to work and it says I'm wrong with my password, its not a good FIRST impression of the "new" way to use this commercial-supported service. I switched back to Netflix, and am enjoying rather than battle the login after a long day.
Anyone else having difficulty logging in, or thoughts on the above??? Maybe its just ME tonite after a long day! Not trying again tonite.
