And absolutely loving it. Went live on February 28th and turned off the satellite. Called and canceled a week later. They huffed and puffed but they priced themselves out of a market.
Roku, Netflix and Amazon Prime (which I have already for my business) cover 95% of our television watching and this includes Lulu's son and nephew. We do not see first-run shows but all of the older ones are available for streaming for $9/mo (Netflix) and Amazon Prime (already funded). If we did want to watch a first-run television series, we are looking at an additional $10/month. The pricing for pay-per-view is also a lot cheaper than Satellite and we can access the event for 24-48 hours instead of having to be glued to the screen at the moment.
Compare this to DirecTV's last bill of $105/month this is a zero-brainer.
What we are also finding is that there is an absolute wealth of other television series' that we have missed and these can fill our time until the new ones we want to see get added to the stream. Been watching Sons of Anarchy while waiting for Outlander to be added.
If you have decent broadband (I am using DSL which is not exactly a speed daemon), Roku is worth looking at...
