Roku unchained my laptop!

We don't own a smart TV so when I needed to watch streaming media I had to hooking up my Lenovo Laptop to our TV via HDMI to watch Netflix and other sources of streaming media. It's a joy to be able to play on my Laptop now while enjoying all that Roku has to offer. This is a perfect solution for us for more than one reason. We cut the cable or (Satellite Dish) in our case and Roku made it possible for us to save a very large amount of money! We also have a Chanel Master DVR+ and with Roku and C/M DVR+ (with no monthly fees by the way) We have more TV choices than we need for much less than cable or satellite TV. I recommend Roku!
This streaming stick crashes constantly. It acts as if it was buffering but I don't know that it is. You frequently have to turn it all off and let it reset. We have a Roku 2 and it doesn't do this.
I have three of the roku sticks and I enjoy them. I love being able to have all my watching choices on one device. It makes it very easy to go from one to the other with out having to buy a expensive TV
