I have both the little HDMI plug stick and the Roku-ready Smart TV. Both have amazing picture and audio quality, and the number of service channels boggles my mind. In both cases I get the same value, but I can move the stick from TV to TV anywhere in the house. If only the power cord was about a foot longer for my tall dresser. Once you register for a service it is available on any TV you plug the device into. The remote is small but full-functioned. These devices would be super at three times the price. -Happy Consumer
My wife and I bought this exclusively to view JW. Broadcast. We had a problem with no captions and asked Roku about this issue. They were so helpful sent me a number of emails trying to help. We decided to buy headphones. Dealing with the Roku tech support was a pleasure. Other on line sellers could do well to emulate their service.
