This reminds me of what television looked like 20 years ago the picture is horrible it's very grainy not very clear and this is on a brand new TV an Roku bought the same day
The Roku stick has opened a number of new channels to my TV. There is YouTube, News (ABC, CBS, NBC, etc.) as well as a number of other channels with less establishment views and news. A huge bunch of movies, particularly old movies, including Buster Keaton Chaplin and others. These are all in the free list; I haven't tried the pay channels yet, still looking at the range and type of things that don't cost extra. So far it is a great investment.
Streams 1080 Mkv files "blu ray" from PC which is awesome. Netflix and Amazon is what else I use. I have been using it heavily for two months now and not a single hiccup. Plex app works flawless wireless to wireless on ea3200 liinksys router. Two thumbs up!!
