Roku Express is better, more powerful, more versatile and cheaper than Apple TV

Bought this Roku Express for a little under thirty bucks here on Amazon. It will replace the 3rd gen Apple TV that my sister should have by now. Apple TV is still good, but I wanted something more powerful and versatile. and Roku Express is everything and more. see my attached photo comparing the Roku Express to my old Apple TV: DO NOT be fooled by the small box size of the Roku Express device. Roku Express is a powerful device. personally very satisfied with Roku. It's like going back to…

Pros
  • Remote Control - Roku's standard IR remote with channel shortcut buttons. Streaming player includes IR receiver
Cons
  • I'll post later

What you really need to know.

Fantastic product so far! After the first week we bought a second one for a family member. Before making a purchase, first make sure you understand what content is free and what isn't. Second, if it's not obvious, Roku works over your Wi-Fi and internet connection. You must have a sufficiently fast internet connection to stream videos. If you can't stream video to your phone (over Wi-Fi) or PC, you can't stream it to Roku either. Subscription content: Anything you have to pay for elsewhere…

Pros
  • Free Roku mobile app for private listening, voice search and more. Power Consumption &lt;2. 2 W
Cons
  • Alright

I understand the legal implications. I'm an IT pro, so trust me when I say metadata brings solid monetary value. User behavior and all the data we share with these and many other companies every time we use a smart device is…

Pros
  • Easy-to-use remote control, intuitive navigation
Cons
  • Big and chunky
