Our household needed an alternative to satellite TV. After finally getting fiber optic internet in our community, our daughter suggested Roku to be our primary means of watching TV. For us it is simply an organizer that lets us find what we want to watch from one of the million streaming apps out there. Keep in mind you may want to have subscriptions to some of your fave streaming apps in order to watch what you like. You could get by with just the free apps but it would definitely cut down what you could watch. I’m glad we tried it, and have set my parents up with it as well.
Great product and easy to set up and use. I love having just one remote for the television and I absolutely love that the remote has volume control. Totally worth it!!!
