I'm not a full cord cutter, I still have cable in my living room. I wanted something more than local channels for my bedroom and bought the roku. It's amazing, so many channels to choose from! Also, in addition to Netflix, I can access HBO, starz and showtime channels with the subscription paid for through my cable provider. love the roku!!! My only issue is the remote - it doesn't work so I've been using an app on my phone.
The remote is good enough for whats its for I guess but when you are in bed in a darkened room and you have to use the light on your iPhone to see the dials on the remote its makes for less than customer friendly experience.
I have bought 3 ROKU sticks and 2 ROKU 3's. I love how easy it is to set up and the large channel selection. My only complaint is consistently every ROKU remote either stops working or works inconsistently. I have found the ROKU remote apps tend to work much better.
