We have one. Use it far more than the dish anymore. We have Netflix and Hulu on it. I would have to say we are overall very happy with it. Downside is we have had to replace it a couple times as they don’t seem to live more than a couple years. We have the same one we first bought... But it has developed a few "eccentricities"over its lifetime. It tends to lock up and not respond to its remote... Just pull the power cord and reboot and it's good to go for a while. We upgraded to a Firestick in the LR and my wife moved the Roku to our bedroom. The Roku doesn't see much use anymore. Mike

So is there a monthly fee? Last thing I want is another bill.

So is there a monthly fee? Last thing I want is another bill. No fee. We paid around $40.00 for it, when I bought it and that was it. It made our old TV work like a smart TV. I highly recommend Roku. Roku gives easy access to millions of hours of gives, which is both a plus and a negative, because you could waste your life with it. Keith

I have one (we only have 1 tv) but my parents have multiple. We like them alot. We have Netflix, Hulu, prime, different stuff. You can get hunting channels, too. I like carbon tv. A nice variety. Just be careful. It's very easy to waste time sitting there watching it. No commercials and all.

We've had one for several years. It was their fastest unit at the time Maybe once every 3-4 months I'll have to unplug it and let it reboot, then it's trouble free. TONS of freebies available through Roku. Lots of hunting channels. I have SlingTv on mine as well.
Nowadays it just don't pay to be a good 'ol boy.

Not to get off topic, but we just dropped dish and went with DirecTv Now. Not Direct (satellite). Run it off a Firestick. We got the $55 a month package. We get some buffering, but not too bad.
