I got 2 Roku 2 XDs refurbished for $35 each on either Woot or 1saleaday, can't recall. Just keep an eye out, they pop up about once a month on those daily sites.

Refurbished Roku 3 for $65 on Woot today

I really like our Roku. Chromecast sucks for me. Apple tv is cool for Airplay, but otherwise I think Roku is better (more content)

Just pulled the trigger on a Roku 3...Already have Appletv, chromecast, and pc hooked up to my tv...Oh well...Cancelled DTV a month or so ago so it's all good!

Roku cant stream anything from your computer right?

Do you even plex bro?

App on roku that you can pull files from your computer via.WiFi


I have the roku and its in bed roo. And have got it for a few people last christmas. Easy to use even for old people like my pops. I might get a chromecast but while the streaming is cool thats all I would use it for. I just use my hdmi cord and do the simple laptop stream. It takes all of one second and runs perfect.

Roku cna be had for cheap is why I initially got it 2 years ago.

PLex is a "channel" on roku that lets you stream files from a computer on your wifi network.

Plus plex also has its own "channels" inside it. The MTV channel has hundreds and hundreds of old music videos that are badass (at least to me). Plex also has a south park app with every episode etc etc.

Also roku has a pretty nice android app that let's you control multiple boxes, channel store etc

Tldr
If you've got android, get roku
IPhone get apple TV IMO
