This product does a good job of providing streaming services to us. The item is too small and the volume/mute button is in an odd location. Lastly, the odd thing about this item is that the voice control isn’t like typical voice controls. If you say, “nfl Sunday night football” it’ll make you open up the nfl app. The program isn’t always on an app that we pay for. If you say a specific tv show, it’ll say “nothing matches” but yet you can scroll on the guide and see it. Idk why the voice is even an option.
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.
