The Roku digital video player is like having your own video library at home with over 50,000 choices— from the best movies, TV shows and sports. It’s the easiest way to watch anything and everything from Netflix, Amazon Video On Demand, and MLB.com instantly on your TV. The Roku player has received overwhelmingly positive reviews in The Wall Street Journal, CNET, WIRED, and elsewhere.

The Roku player also detects internet bandwith and is also wifi ready. It features tons of channels like MLB TV, watch all your favorite baseball games. Most of the channels you need to pay for, but they do have some free channels. Pandora is a internet radio channel, where you can choose your favorite artist or song to play. I choose Taylor Swift and it will play songs from her as well as other popular country artists.

You can even link to your Facebook and Flickr account to access your photos on tv.  With the Facebook channel, you can access any photos that have your name on them. So if someone tags you in a photo you can still access that photo.

We just can not get enough of this player. Its so much easier than having to drive to the movie store or wait for your DVDs in the mail. Its cheaper too, we went to blockbuster a few weeks ago and rented two movies at 5 dollars piece for 5 days. Roku instant watching with Netflix you can watch movies at any time, no waiting, no late fees and there are over 17,000 movies to choose from.The downside is there are some movies that can only be accessed through dvd.

I actually think we have been watching way more tv, then we usually do since I received the Roku. It’s a lot more movie date nights at home though! For 79.99 it is very much worth the money. This would be a great gift for any mom.

  1. We’ve had our Roku for about 6 months now – since we started our Netflix subscription. We love it! Our Roku gets used several nights a week & is great on the weekend when all you can get is sports. Netflix has a HUGE assortment of movies available for the Roku. Netflix & the Roku has been a huge money saver in our house as well. No more high priced On-Demand movies from our cable provider.
