Just FYI, a lot of the premium channels require a cable subscription to access (like ESPN, HBO, Disney). They don't generally offer you the ability to watch those channels by paying straight from the Roku. Do you already have cable? Which sports do you watch (or at least, what channels do they come on)? That will make it easier to determine if you'll get what you want from it.

The best thing i bought since a Microwave

No other streamer offers a s much free content(1200)channels now and they work great and the 3 has the earphone and you can use it as a radio when the tv is off and the wife is sleeping by acessing Tune In Radio 9Free)..

Don;t believe the naysayers this is the Future of tv..

Bro,,,

wheel,

How much bandwidth does this thing use?

I bought one for my parents last Christmas. This Christmas, they are thinking of actually hooking it up (facepalm.) I contacted their internet provider...wow - that was painful. I got some RUDE (and I mean VERY rude) guy in a call center somewhere in Mumbai that I could hardly understand Thanks to kids with speech delays, I'm getting pretty good at deciphering, though.

After a very long and VERY painful conversation that is chronicled elsewhere, I finally PRIED out of him that, depending on the plan, data caps are between 150-300 GB and up to 70Mbs on the lowest plan. (hahaha - ran a speed test on the folks' internet - best speed I got on a Saturday was 11.3.)

How many hours of streaming does that give them before they reach their cap? (I think they would be around 250 if I understand their plan correctly.) My dad watches hours and hours of Antiques Roadshow and Pawn Stars, and my mom is an NCIS marathon and Judge Judy addict.

That wouldn't fly with me.

Tw, yeah, data caps are coming back. Too many people running servers and excessive downloads. Generally speaking, not that the isps can't handle it, a few might no be able to, but that it's a way to keep it in check and make a few extra bucks.

Thanks to Jack, I purchased ROKU 3 last week, well worth it, really enjoying it , just finished all the sesons of House of Cards, one great series. Next up Orange is the new Black. =d>

Thanks for input Jack. 🇨🇮
