I purchased the unit thinking it was superior to the ROKU Streaming Stick. I was wrong. Compared to the ROKU device, it leaves a lot to be desired. You are limited to the chanels Vizio has selected, with no option to add chanels. The picture clarity is extremely poor compared to my previous Visio TV(not a smart TV)
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
