"Fix it" means popping open the case, cutting part of the top out, and putting a heatsink on the processor chip. Total cost, $0 because I have the parts to do it.
Problem is, I'm not happy with the "speed" of the Roku anymore and not having any storage/expanded storage capabilities with it. Just read the spec's on the Amazon device and think I like it enough to give it a try.
Meh. hook an old computer to the TV... You'll never go back... Everything you can get through Roku or Amazon and so very much more. And you get the added advantage of super-configurable hardware and software with a full OS...
Mine is an old Vista era Acer that I paid 25 bucks for... added a USB wireless NIC and Wireless KB w/glidepad... less than 100 bucks in the whole operation... While I was going to sign up for Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon, I haven't, nor will I, as it's all out there for free, if you don't mind looking around... So no pay to play... no subscriptions, and the dough I am saving from dropping cable would buy me a very nice TV in a little over a year.
The new ROKU 3 has a voice prompt as well and offers complete listings over the entire available platforms. The Amazon Fire TV defaults on voice command or search features to Amazon Prime and Amazon Streaming only.
We have both Roku 3, Amazon Fire TV and the Fire TV stick.
Amazon has terrific service.
I like them both. Hard choice.
The only benefit right now is the new ROKU 3 is on sale for $89.99. Just got an e-mail on it.
