This product is a great advance over our 2008 roku player, giving us a much wider choice of options to enjoy. Cheaper and easier to use as well. Glad our son suggested it.
I purchased this product a year ago and I think is reliable and comes with a lot of channels including latest TV series. Quality is really good. The only think I have as a "Con" is the wireless system range, which is poor. While my laptop has a good signal, this Roku sometimes stops as it can not reach the wireless internet signal.
I bought this on a whim and as we don't have satellite TV service we were limited to 4 local channels received by an antenna. Now we have access to a whole new world of TV. Even without paying for any monthly subscriptions, there are plenty of things to watch! Love it.
