We share with our friend living upstairs from us and may need higher bandwidth in case we both download & watch a flick at the same time. Just set it up yesterday and spent at least 15 minutes trying to decide which movie to watch! Good selection, and we also ordered DVDs for $2 for other choices not showing in the download options.
Pros: Compact, Built in Wi-Fi, Easy to use, Great value, Video selection, Good Picture, Easy to set up

I used Roku primarily for Netflix and Amazon Video on Demand. I love the little box and use it practically every day. The only problems I have ever had with it is that every few weeks, the screen will freeze up (usually when I'm 'waking it up' from the screensaver)and then the whole unit will restart itself. However since it only happens every now and then, it really isn't an issue.
Pros: Easy to set up, Easy to use, Video selection, Compact, Reliability, Great value, Built in Wi-Fi, High quality picture
Cons: Restarts on occasion
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had difficulty setting it up because I did not understand routers but as soon as I got one and hooked it up, the problem was solved. The person at the help desk could not explain routers to me. Once set up, I have enjoyed it almost every day. I have had some trouble being able to log in but hope that is over. The product is wonderful and economical.
Pros: Easy to use, Compact
Cons: Difficult to set up, No info about routers
I would recommend this to a friend!

If your going to use it wireless, then make sure you put it NEXT to your Modem/Router.. VERY Poor WiFi connection, I use Ethernet Cable to DSL Modem/Router.
Pros: Easy to use, Compact
Cons: Difficult to set up, Inconsistent performance
I would recommend this to a friend!

I use my roku for streaming tech videos like twit live, watching nhk, documentaries and starting to explore the netflix world. I do wish that it did not suck up so much bandwidth on some channels, I have super fast internet and I still find the device having to stop and load from time to time, and much more if a computer is on at the same time. I find it strange how they offer so many Indian channels but not so many from other countries.... Although I do have some negatives, overall it is still an excellent product with lots of choices, and if they add more, then even better.
Pros: Built in Wi-Fi, High quality picture, Easy to set up, Easy to use, Compact, Video selection
Cons: Inconsistent performance, Need fast internet service
I would recommend this to a friend!
