I've been wanting to get a Roku for a long time. But while I've been saving the money and trying to figure out which one to get, they keep coming out with more and more models! However, before I even watched your video, I had already circled the premier+ LOL I can't wait to get it!

My first Rocky video. Have had my Roku 3 for maybe 3 years, have not used it a whole lot, but I think after watching your video, I may be using it a lot more! Very clear and precise, well done, and I look forward to seeing more about what my Roku 3 is capable of. Thanks! PS-I cut my cable about 5 years ago, and I have never regretted it. I don't miss the hefty bills, lol.

Thanks for doing this. I've been streaming and using a fire stick for a while, but my daughter's 'smart' DVD died and I was considering a new streaming option. Informative. I think people who gave it a thumbs down did so because it is very basic. But, I think your intent was just that!, too provide the basics. Keep it up!

Thank You for your Roku knowledge. I just found, and subscribed to your channel. I am about to "cut the cord" from cable but like anything else having to do with internet technology, I'm lost. I dont have a Smart TV so I was told that I need to get a Roku. I have a couple of questions. 1.) I have a Panasonic Viera TV but I don't have the TV's remote. Do I need to tv's remote to set up Roku? Also, I have 3 tvs, do I need a Roku device for each tv and do they function independently? I look forward to your other videos. Patrick
