Would like to know of anyone’s experience with Roku.

I don't have one, but I bought a Roku LT for my parents the Christmas before last. No complaints. Great picture and sound. My parents aren't the most tech savvy, but they have no problem navigating through all the channels (but they mostly stay on Netflix). Lots of choices in channels--most of them are free. I set them up with a Vudu account last month and they really enjoy the freedom of "renting" new movies before they're even available on DVD.

I forgot to mention that Roku is also a radio: am and fm. You can tune in any genre, any station or radio channel that was made up by anybody any place. Sometimes, I turn on the tv to listen to music or talk radio.

I'm one year with Roku and the amount of content is daunting but you already know what you like and select those channels for free or subscription.

I was just on a Roku tv show and got a shout out on the same show for tweeting w/them during a live google hangout. How do you like them apples? I forgot to mention that above. It's difficult to get on cable or local tv unless you commit a crime or had a disaster.

The lava lamp channel is nice, the Tune Out channel has great scenery w/sound continuous. I put the dairy farm on continuous and the animals luv it. There are all kinds of things at Tune Out. The Noel channel is Christmas music year round. I mute the sound cuz it’s just snow balls coming straight at you. I like to watch the snow balls cuz it’s just so basic - just the opposite of looking for a plane south of Australia.
