What's great about the Roku product

Easy to set up, price is great, virtually problem-free with high quality video.  Amazing amount of content because so many shows and movies to choose from that you can cancel your cable. With the built-in wireless, you can use it practically anywhere and even take it with you.

What's not so great about the Roku product
Need a good wireless or hard wire internet connection. Slow connection impact on occasional reload.  In order for your Roku account to be set up they require a credit card for their "free account". This information is not revealed to you until half way throught the set up. This creates a problem if you don't have a credit card or don't give your card out on-line for privacy reasons.
