Answer :

answer:I asked about this recently and Roku was the favorite. There’s a link below to that thread. Hardware This was for my mother, and I ended up buying her a Samsung TV with built-in support for Amazon, Netflix, etc. In retrospect I wish I had paid a little more for a TV with built-in Roku. The Samsung interface is much less user friendly. We’ll use it when we visit, but my mother will never figure out how to work it (dementia) so it didn’t really matter to her which option was included. Service Amazon Prime is the best deal ($10.99/month or $99/year) if you also take advantage of the other benefits like free shipping, music streaming, and ebooks. The selection of movies and TV is pretty big. The show The Man in the High Castle is only on Amazon and that’s what prompted me to subscribe. Netflix is popular, but I did not subscribe after the free 30 day trial. They didn’t have a lot that I wanted to see. But again, it’s very popular so lots of people do like the offerings. What Internet TV device do you like (or not like) – Roku, Chromecast, Firestick, etc.)
