The Roku works great in our motorhome!

Recently, I installed a Netgear router system in our 30' Class A motorhome, so we could use our tablets. We get reasonably good WiFi in the RV parks we stay at, and it worked well. I've been watching some movies and older television series like "The West Wing" on Netflix, and my wife commented that it would be nice if we could both watch these shows up on our 32" flat screen television. I saw an ad for Roku and picked one up. Installation was a snap, and in just minutes we were both enjoying quality viewing. A couple of weeks ago, my copy of "Motorhome" magazine caught up with me, and there was an article all about how to do exactly what we'd done, install a network router and buy a Roku. For once, I'm ahead of the curve. Highly recommented.
Ive had Roku for 2 months and have not had to buy or rent movies at all! You will love this device. It's plug and play.. I am amazed that this product has not exploded in popularity with consumers! And a funny thing, I bought it thinking it was just a fancy remote control,for my TV. I WAS LIKE A KID AT 2Christmas Days!
Since the days of pc streaming and the collaboration of coders like the Roku to bring simplicity and make a dumb TV smartTv just with this box. Is a revolution; then services available that makes the experience enjoyable with Crackled and popcornflix to name a few. For those cutting the cable cord and getting into the future this is where is going. Now Hulu is getting aboard adding 2 month free; which is expanding the latino content of there services. Thanks hulu thats a nice couple... should we called them Rockulu? ;-)
I bought the streaming stick for our away from home apartment. We have Roku devices there as well the stick was a snap to set up and provides all the TV access we need. This device seems more easily controlled by the remote than the older boxes at home which are very sensitive to direction. The stick can be controlled from almost anywhere in the room, a great boon. My wife doesn't get frustrated trying to use it. Great device!!
