I got Roku mainly so I could get JW Broadcasting on my tv. It was simple to install and easy to use. Also like the option of use of other apps. We are enjoying it very much.
Bought this to test out prior to giving thumbs up to family. Prior to this, using a low-power Windows PC to stream from Hulu, Netflix, etc. Roku is much easier to use, quieter, and more intuitive. Only downside is accessing content overseas (UK, France) over VPN tunnels, since the apps are locked into US channels - but that is a very advanced use case and could possibly even be worked out.
I bought this a little over a month ago, and this is the best product! I always say whoever invented this was a genius! I love how I can miss any of my shows and watch them at a later date, listen to pandora, and rent movies too.
I like this product but wish it had more classic movies and classic horror channels available that were free. The channels I'm interested in requires subscription fees. I also love classic cartoons and the one channel, Hasbro, requires fees also.
We purchased a Roku for our living room TV so that my husband could watch his movies with this instead of his PS3. We liked it so much I bought another for our bedroom and will purchase one for our daughter's room in January. I love that we could download the app for our phones and tablets. It makes it easy when we can't find the remote.
Bought this several months ago, and I am so glad I did. It is very easy to set up. Has all the movie streaming sites you could ever want, plus much more. Great purchase!
