We are going to ditch cable and the Roku is the best way to do so. Very easy to set up and use. Very nice product.

Got my Roku in December at Sam's, and love it so far! It has many programs preloaded on it such as Netflix, Amazon, Hulu Plus and much more. It's so easy to set up and use, you'll have no problem at all.

I wish I would have gotten this sooner. This little box has tons of channels. I am still discovering new and interesting things to watch. I am getting rid of my satellite provider!

I got this just before Christmas so we could watch movies at out annual Christmas gathering. I am so happy I did. I've was watching Amazon Prime videos on my Android Tablet until I dropped it in the Hot Tub;( I replaced the Tablet with a Kindle Fire but haven't been able to connect the Kindle Fire to my TV. After a lot of frustration, I decided to order a Roku for backup. Now, I don't even think about trying to connect with my Kindle or my computer. The Roku makes it so easy that I watch videos all the time now.
I Have a Denon receiver, Samsung TV, Panasonic DVD and Time Warner Cable. I control everything with a Harmony remote (if you have multiple components and are always using multiple remotes, get one of these). It took a bit of finagling to get my Harmony Remote to set things up for the Roku because Harmony doesn't know what a Roku is (hint to Roku, get this fixed with Harmony) but now my wife can pick up the Harmony, select "Watch Roku" and we are watching movies. We use the Roku remote to control the Roku because Harmony doesn't know its commands. I could teach Harmony the Roku commands but wouldn't have button labels so its easier to use a separate remote for the Roku. I hope Roku and Harmony get together on this soon.
Be aware that the setup is NOT what they advertise. True, you can plug in the Roku and have it working in just 3 steps...BUT... if you want to watch anything, you have to set up a Roku account ON YOUR COMPUTER. Note that you will have to provide a credit card to Roku to do this. Then, if you want to watch Amazon videos, you have to set up your Amazon account for the Roku. I would guess that any other streaming service would be similar. In all, it took about 30 minutes. Fairly easy but a lot more than advertised.
