After years of discs, I went over to streaming at the recommendation of a friend. "Get Roku" was heard. I got one at Frys but had to return a 'bad' one as it didn't respond that well and Frys themselves said "We often have to change them". My wife and I seem to have a good one now. Let's hope it carries on. No problem with your choice of movies though. Better then discs.
Product works for a short time then it will not find my internet connection for a few days. I check all the on line forums for help and usually can get it going again but if I move it to another TV it will not work. Not worth the constant hassle.
I received the Roku stick as a gift for Father's Day and it has been a great addition to my video streaming gadgets. It has replaced an AppleTV primarily because it has access to Amazon Prime video. Only thing we have had issues with is sometimes the remote will freeze.
I would like to have a Roku Channel that you could have your TV News Station that is on a internet feed that you could download watch on a daily basis.
I originally bought a Roku 3 and then when I signed up for Sling TV I got the opportunity to get a streaming stick for my bedroom. It has fewer functions than the Roku3 but unless you had one, you wouldn't miss the things that are different!
