I love British TV especially the mysteries. I bought this so I could access Acorn TV and I love it. I have watched one complete series (all 5 seasons) and am half way through another. I have all the mysteries I could want, Agatha Christie, Ruth Rendell, Blue Murder, The Last Detective, Pie in the Sky, Father Brown, I could go on but you get the picture. A great little device.
I have been using my rocky for some time. It is easy and gives me many choices. I do not miss commercials. It is worth it to avoid political ads. I watch what I want to, when I want to!
This is our second purchase of a Roku. The first is in Europe and streamed many shows that we can not get here and visa versa. The streaming was slower in Europe. I miss some of the entertainment that we could NOT follow-up here in the USA [eg Suits]
I bought my Roku stick about a month ago and I really enjoy it. The only problem I have been having is sometimes the remote is not communicating with the stick and I have to keep taking the batteries out and putting them back in. FYI they are new batteries.
Bought the stream stick for my husband because he's a TV nut! He is technology impaired but has no trouble with the system or the remote. He really loves it. We're actually going to buy a bigger model. Best purchase I ever made. :-)
This is a great alternative to cable . You can picK what show to watch. Something for every one . Love the way it syncs with your tablet so you can watch shows or music videos on your TV . the only downside is commercials that pop up when watching shows.
