Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Bought this guy a couple years ago. Loving my roku. Roku keeps excluding features with each upgrade. This is one product you will not regret owning.

Amazon vod works very well on this. Other good channels are ora tv, esp if you miss larry king, and crackle is streaming * seinfeld's comics in cars series.



Cons

It was kind of a pain to get wifi working at first. Roku technical support consists of a hapless chat utility. You can't simply run the ethernet from your modem to the roku - you have to have a separate router and two more ethernet cords.

This seems to be a well-documented problem on the roku support forums going back to 2008. I spend 2 weeks including long support from tech person from roku ( which was very nice and helpfull) but could not solve it. Their shrug me off/ignore me.

Check out the deception for yourself (only visible after purchase). Otherwise they're certain to wallow in mediocrity until someone eats their lunch.

Roku is fast morphing into another cable - goodbye. It is only ok when it comes to streaming.
