Title: Firestick be damned...there is a new sheriff in town
Review: In my ignorance I have purchased multiple Firesticks. Gen 1 gen 2 and gen whatever and they have all ended up the same way....in the garbage can. I have a small TV by my bed that I like to fall asleep watching - it's my nightly ritual, but my Firestick obviously did NOT get the memo because it has proceeded to block or delay me from watching something just about every night over the last 4 or 5 months. I have rebooted it time and time again. Unplugged it and even reset it to the factory settings once because it was, for some inexplicable reason, running out of memory. Even after deleting about every application I had installed, many of which, BTW, the device will NOT let you delete...which is another issue I have with the Firestick. Anyway, the reset worked for a while and I thought all was good but I was wrong. Slowly but surely is started to pause and I waited only to see the message that "something went wrong"....no kidding. Click okay to restart...which also takes forever. The lockups the pausing, the error codes, the nightly reboots and unplugging.....my gosh what a piece of junk. This is no exaggeration....I have sat down to go to bed and spent upwards of 30 minutes or more, messing with the Firestick to start a video so I could lay down and fall asleep. Seriously.....EVERY SINGLE NIGHT I had to deal with this piece of junk !!!I even swapped it out the other day with one in my home office that had not been used in a while, geez I wonder why, and it did not even start up. Just died while sitting doing nothing other than being plugged in. I was done, done, done.Why I did not try a Roku device long ago I will never know, but it is working flawlessly and only took me about 15 minutes to configure. That is less time than it took my Firestick to boot up every night. No it does not control the volume or turn off my TV, but neither did my Firestick, but what it does and does well, is it allows me to start Netflix or HBO in seconds. No delays, no losing the network connection, no spinning circles that usually result in errors.....just point and click and booya !!It is not perfect to be sure. I am not a huge fan of the select and arrow button setup. Would be nice if the buttons were spaced further apart and the select button was more pronounced so you can operate it more easily by feel...which I do a lot, but I suspect I will get used to it over time. It also allowed me to easily customize my screen and delete ANY preinstalled apps from view, no exceptions, and the process was very intuitive. I have not read the instructions and don't think I need to at this point.Outside of the need to have a Roku account and the initial push to purchase various packages and streaming platforms and enter a payment option, which I did not do, the Roku has gone silent. It just does it's job every night like a good remote should and for a third of the prices of a Firestick and I could not be happier.If you are wondering if a Roku will work better than a Firestick....the answer is YES !!!I have one of the half dozen Firesticks I have purchased over the years still in my garage/gym and so far it seems to be okay. I know it's just a matter of time until it bites the bullet though...it's not a matter of IF. I might be wise to just get a another Roku now and save myself the frustration of another "system update" which is another story all together....but I will spare the details !!

Title: TV game Changer
Review: With the ridiculous price of inflation and cost of food and everything else, I see no reason why anyone should even bother with satellite or cable if they can get away with just having a Roku stick. Why pay almost $200 for a service when you can get television for free?To get started, there is a learning curve. You're not going to just turn on the TV and watch local channels in real time. It is streaming. So essentially it's like watching television through your computer, and you are going to have a little bit of an adjustment time depending on your skill level with computers and internet streaming. This is not to discourage any seniors or anyone who's not computer savvy, you just may have a longer learning curve.However, you can still get some local channels, and you can still get a lot of news channels, you just have to know how to find them and to get optimal access.A lot of your Roku exoerience depends on how much television you watch. If you watch a lot of television and you still want to keep cable or satellite, I would recommend getting basic service and then supplementing with Roku. If you just want something for when the power is out, you can just buy this one time stick and not get any supplemental services they sell or subscriptions.If you don't watch a lot of television, this is a perfect choice. Especially if you're off-grid for any reason, this is an option to not ever have to worry about getting connectivity due to location or thunderstorms.I was on satellite at my last location and when there was a technology issue, I happily switched over to Roku and after just a few days I did not miss regular television cable or satellite at all. I had it for several months, now and back on satellite. But will be back strictly to Roku soon and it's just so fabulous, I know I will not miss satellite.I don't bother with the subscription because I don't like subscriptions, but you can also upgrade to get more options if you'd like.For such an inexpensive upfront cost, you get so much out of your Roku stick. I believe you do have to have Wi-Fi, So if you don't have Wi-Fi at your location, you should be able to get Wi-Fi from your phone, but you'd have to check with Roku for that. Highly recommend!!!
