ROKU is the best. I haven’t had cable TV for years but you wouldn’t know it with all the choices that ROKU gives us.

We have Hughes.net satellite and even though the upgraded service is much better than the old there is still some latency. The ROKU works great on it. Even the live streaming news shows work without buffering. The Firestick not so good.

My only problem is teaching my 82 year old husband something new. LOL Once he learns it he does great but his short term memory loss takes a lot of repetition to get some things to stick. Our cable bill is $202 a month and that’s crazy. There are only 11 shows I watch on it and about the same for him. We don’t watch gay shows, Spanish shows, black shows, or cartoons so a lot of our package is a waste of money. If he gets comfortable with ROKU I will cut off the cable and subscribe to anything he wants but doesn’t get free. That will save us about $150 or more a month.

Is the ROKU device a 1 time pay, or does it turn into a monthly?
(I have the ROKU free app on my tablet, just wondering if I could get better service if I bought the stick)
