After owning a couple of Fire Sticks I decided to get the Roku because it offered CBS app. I discovered that the Roku has more of the popular apps than Fire Stick, plus it's easier to navigate. My next purchase will be a Roku 3
My husband bought the Roku stick for me since he knew how much I missed watching some programs that weren't on my basic Time Warn!er, on my backroom TV. Now I can get everything on that TV as we do from our main TVs without investing in another monthly cost through TW. That is really the main reason I like it, but you also have access to a lot of other free movies, Youtube and much more. So glad I have my Roku stick.
Bought because I was unhappy with the restrictions on my Now TV box, would like to see more apps to stream foreign channels in the roku apps store it's better than now TV but could be better, as for reliability and stability I haven't had any problems so yes it's good.
I love it! The movies we have watched have had only a couple of commercials. You have a good selection of movies. Can't wait for our contract to run out in October, then we can sign up with some of the apps
