What the Hell is Roku and the other one??
It’s a streaming media box. We dropped our cable almost 3 years ago and got a Roku3. Have never looked back. Got it at Walmart. It’s not for everyone - especially is you like your sports, but we’ve found plenty to watch. Lots of free channels and some pay, like Netflix, Amazon, Hulu and Sling.
I’ve been using Roku for years instead of cable TV. It’s a menu of channels. Basically TV over the Internet. Some with a small monthly charge ilke Netflix but many of them free.
There’s more than enough legitimate content for anybody. I will never run out of things to watch. I don’t understand why some feel they have to pirate content. I have no interest in that. Tons of classic shows, movies and documentaries are available legitimately. If I live to be 100, I’ll still not have enough time to watch it all. And I have no cable TV, just a basic Internet hookup.
Think of Roku as the digital tuner for your non-smart tv. Most flatscreens today are sold with the digital tuners but back in the day they were not standard. So for people who wanted to cut cable and stream tv/movies over their internet service you needed to acquire a device like Roku which allows for that.
So instead of paying for subscription cables services to only pay for internet. Then you can add services like Netflix, Hulu or whatever to watch on demand tv shows and movies.
