Love, Love ,Love Roku....
I've had a Roku box for years now, and LOVE IT...[about 5 years now]
It's a wonderful product, esp. if you want to get rid of cable....
I have Netflix [and Hulu Plus optional]...
There's a lot of free channels....
If you love Music Pandora on Roku is the Best {no commercials] also FREE

no roku here......just blue ray dvd players that access the internet......it works well for us. we use it mostly to access netflix because we DO still have our cable.

Yes. We have had one Roku for about 3 years , then bought a second one a few years later, then a Smart TV , and of course antenna tv. We cut the cable with the first Roku and have not missed it or it's huge bills! Most of the shows come around to Netflix or Amazon after about a season and I like watching them in succession instead of at the station's times. I did that with The Closer, Switched at Birth and the last 3 seasons of Downton Abbey. I tried a hulu subscription but had a whole lot of buffering with it that I couldn't seem to fix so I canceled that . Also if I ever remember to buy the correct cable one can watch most current tv shows the day after with a Kindle on the hdtvs , kindle itself (small) , or the computer.

I just bought one for DH this past holiday and he seems to really enjoy it. He's still playing around with it but thinks it might be a good idea to get rid of cable in the not too distant future....we just have to figure out and see if we can get all of the channels that we like, etc. Plus we'll have to get more Rokus for other TVs in the house. In the long run it will save a lot since our cable bill is pretty high!

Be sure to go for the Roku 3. I am new to the Roku thing, but I did research before I got my Roku 3. I still haven't really looked at all the 'channels' it has. But I don't think I could get rid of cable (sadly, since it costs about $140 a month now). I must have HBO and Showtime, in addition to quite a few of the cable channels. I don't think these kind of devices have but a very small percentage of the channels you get on cable.

I think a streaming device is good in combination with either an antenna or basic cable. I couldn't give up cable since I don't get a lot of local broadcasts within the 30 mile radius required for an antenna to work. I do watch sports and many of the games I want to watch are only on cable stations.
I have a smart Blu-ray player and Apple TV. I have registered my Blu-ray player with Amazon so if I do rent a movie or join Prime, I can stream through it. There are a lot of options for those who want to drop cable.

LOVE the Roku! Roku on one tv and the other tv is a smart tv. Booted cable to the curb and saving over $100 a month! You do have to have high speed internet to run the smart tv, Roku, latpop and tablet. Got a good deal on high speed internet. I will never go back to cable. Ever!
