I bought Roku Stick device after already having experienced the Roku 3 device on two of our other TVs. No wires involved with hook-up, plug n play right into your HDMI outlet. Cost is half that of Roku 3. It is a tad bit slower, but, hardly noticeable.
We've had satellite, cable and smart tvs. Really no need for any of these when you have Roku (**and high speed internet!**). The options are plentiful..almost too many choicss. While you do have to pay for almost every option in some form or fashion (subscription service, pay as you go, or suffer through ads, etc.), the dream of paying for ONLY what YOU want to watch is finally a reality. No more large bills for hundreds of useless channels you will never watch. Only competition is a smart tv and you can't pack that up and take it with you when you travel so Roku wins, hands down. Side note, if you don't have access to high spend internet, you'll have to stick with satellite - Roku must have good internet service for it to work.
I received it as a Christmas gift. It was very easy to install and easy to use. I also like that I can use the iPad app to select a list of movies I would like to see and then go right to the one I want on the TV.
This is actually my third Roku. I have one on almost every TV in my house and I bought my 2 granddaughters each one for Christmas. We love the convenience of watching movies whenever we want. They also enjoy being able to get U.tube on their TV.
