This is awesome to stream Netflix, Hulu and Amazon. And with all the other channels you can add makes it nice. There is always something to watch when there isnt anything on Directv or Cable.
We loved our Roku 3 soooo much we bought an additional Roku stock for our bedroom and a Roku TV for the kids. We use Netflix and Hulu and Amazon as a replacement for cable. We have wayyyy better programming than traditional TV.
