I wasn't sure what to expect, but I have to say I am extremely satisfied. A few people told me about Roku but I just recently made the change. I don't know why I ever had cable anyway. There are more than enough to watch with the apps provided. This was a great investment.
I am now able to enjoy at times of my choosing many of the past seasons' hit series which I did not have the ability to see previously. . . all at a reasonable cost as well.
I purchased the stick to add to an already smart tv. The apps on the tv did not include the Watch ESPN app which Roku does have. I can now watch the games I can't get on "regular" ESPN on a large screen rather than a phone, iPad, tablet, or laptap. Earlier I purchased a Roku Built in tv and learned of the features Roku includes which most smart TV's or streaming Bluray players do not have. The stick is not quite as fast to respond as the built in version, but is more than adequate for my needs. Connecting was quick and easy, no problems at all on that front.
