Just over a year ago the apartment complex we were renting from dropped the included cable television package from their renters agreements. Since we weren’t really all that excited about PAYING for cable we looked into some other options…
After looking at the costs associated with cable or satellite television packages we decided to go with purchasing a Roku. Best. Decision. Ever.
With a Roku streaming player you purchase the Roku of your choice once and then depending on your personal preferences subscribe to channels.
For example, we decided on the Roku 2 XS for our family and use it to watch our paid subscriptions to Netflix, HuluPlus, and Amazon Instant Videos. We have free accounts with Vevo, Vimeo, Harvest Eating, Tunein Radio, Pandora, Smithsonian Channel, Flixter, and at least 3 hunting/outdoors channels that my husband likes to watch.
Have a certain channel that you just couldn’t live without? Check out the list of channels currently offered with Roku here. There’s many FREE as well as paid options, including major news networks and sports channels, fitness channels, educational channels, and even games (both my girls like to play Angry Birds on our Roku).
We have loved our Roku so much we have had multiple family members purchase them on our recommendations and they love their Roku just as much as we do!
Best of all, Roku has a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee (learn more about it HERE).
Roku :: $49.99-$99.99, channel subscriptions vary
