Initially, I purchased the Roku for my son's bedroom so he could have Netflix on his television. I discovered that he was also able to take advantage of all the movie channels I pay for through cable as well. It worked out so well we now have 4 Rokus; one in each bedroom and no longer pay the cable company to rent additional cable boxes in each bedroom.
I have had this stick running for about 2 months now. And I RARELY have an issue! BUT, and there's ALWAYS a BUT. They are kinda pricey. They want too much $ for the convenience. I LOVE my netflix, so that was a no brainer, but I picked up another channel and that's HULU, I also have had that one for a bit so, another no brainer. Because I would be streaming from my PS3 otherwise. I hope u all have enjoyed my preview :-)
