What you really need to know… Fantastic product so far! After the first week, we bought a second one for a family member.First thing: Before you buy, understand what content is free and what is not. Second, in case it’s not obvious, the Roku operates over your wifi and internet connection. You have to have an internet connection that is fast enough to stream video. If you can’t stream video on your mobile (via wifi) or PC, you won’t be able to stream it on the Roku either.Subscription content: Anything that you have to pay for elsewhere (like Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, network TV streaming, etc), you’ll still have to have those same subscriptions. But the Roku allows you to access all of those subscriptions (the ones you’re paying for) from a single device on your TV, with a nice interface that nearly anyone can use, even if they’re technology-illiterate. Worst case, if you get lost somewhere, just press the Home button. (But keep in mind, each ‘channel’ on Roku is an app written by the…

Not another review of the same – this one will make you think and enjoy your Roku! There are hundreds of reviews for this product, so rather than touching on what has already been said, let me just throw in some Do’s and Don’ts if you find yourself, like me, navigating the vast array of options in the streaming space.Do’s1) Do your research! There are several different models for Roku, depending on what YOU really need, want or want to pay. I bought a Roku Express because I was upgrading from a 1st generation Roku device and this one is (or at least feels) a thousand times faster, more powerful and has the upgraded software interfaces for apps like Netflix where you can manage your profiles – the older versions did not support that ability, it only presented your default profile.2) Use the power adapter that comes with it. Sure, you can plug it to your smartTV usb port for power, but if you read about this, there are tons of issues that stem from lack of power supply to the device.3) Think where you will place your device. This is NOT a…
