I bought this specifically because it has both Netflix and Acorn. These are the 2 services I use to stream British tv programs. I do have Neftlix on my blu-ray player too, but it boots up faster on the rook. Love it. Acorn tv is a gem and that's why I specifically got roku.
We bought this in hopes of being able to get rid of cable for good and hallelujah it works wonderfully!! We are now cable free and saving over $100 dollars/month. Customer service was great when we had an initial set-up hitch, and quickly got us up and running. Will never go back to cable again!
Already have Roku3 so I figured this would be a great addition. Same apps like Netflix, TW Cable & lots more. I like the cable app, no need to run cables to other tv's. One thing I've noticed, it's a little slower processing commands than the Roku3. I would probably prefer to spend the extra on the Roku3 but didn't have in store at time of purchase, because it responds faster. Both are great.
I must admit that I was very skeptical of the new "sticks", however, after 1 month, my husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed it! It is the most economical streaming device on the market!
The concept is great. Now I can watch Netflex on all our T. V.'s but... So far when I look for a free channel say in fitness, it may have 10 days free then there is a monthly. I don't think finding the completely free is made easy enough...
