Roku and similar devices - Page 2

Another vote for Roku.( Also for their stock!) I get the MLB package thereupon. I also have YouTube TV that covers college football( and other sports that I don't watch.) I tried the Amazon stick and did not like the interface at all. I have both Roku sticks and boxes, both are great IMO. Good luck to you!

The IPTV service I use has like 4000 channels. Every subscription service you can think of. Every US regional channel, international channels, all the NFL, NBA, NHL subscriptions along with 128 adult channels. I pay $70 a year.

Another service called Apex is really good. I think that is well over 4000 channels for like $50 a month. I think the price depends on the reseller.

Mark: I have a Roku TV and "Standard" Roku device I hooked up to my "Non-Smart" TV. Netflix works great on both of them!😊👍

Apex is a monthly service. I can give you my guy I bought the other service from via PM if you want. You'll still need a streaming device like nVidia Shield, Roku, etc... Android based I think are most require.

Thank you Moses!

Haven't found the time to evaluate the device that Greg sent me. So ... nothing.

It's CNet, that shouldn't shock you. They only mention advertisers.

All I know about Nvidia Shield is that it costs 3 to 5 times more than many other systems available. Is it 3 to 5 times better?

2nd time reading, I see it. It's only $150 so it's not like buying a TV. Why not just get that and you game controller which helps in navigating screen?

It's better than the Fire Stick and Roku; which I have both of as well.
