Answer :

My savvier-than-I person talked me into the Roku stick with one compelling argument: I have friends with whom I do movie nights sometimes and because of the RGs, not often here. The stick is super easy to transport to someone else’s house, as long as they have wifi. There was some other hocus pocus stuff, but that was the big seller. Costs a little more for a one time expense. I have had mine for about a month, I love it.
