The benefits outweigh the disadvantages . I love having lots of free streaming channels and headphones that provide great stereo sound and let me watch without disturbing anyone nearby. I don't like fast battery life, so I recommend using rechargeable batteries. Another downside, not very common but it does happen, is freezing or cropping of the image. In this case, remove the batteries for 10 seconds and then reinsert them. Another downside is voice recognition. I've stopped using it and don't miss the fight trying to get it to understand me. Overall, I find more advantages than the few disadvantages mentioned here. I love Roku and recommend it for great free entertainment.
