A Roku is a far more robust streaming device than any based on a game console, a smart TV or a Blu-ray player because it is continuously updated by the manufacturer whereas the others typically are not. There are literally hundreds of official and unofficial channels that can be viewed with a Roku, far more than any of the other devices can offer.

The purchase of a Roku is a one-time purchase. There are no monthly costs other than those you pay to the content providers such as Netflix or Amazon. For some channels such as HBO GO there are no additional costs other than what you pay for the channel on your cable or satellite system.

Roku has to connect with your internet.

Do you use any apple laptops, phones or tablets. Look into Apple TV.

Roku via WiFi at home is what we use. We also have Xbox but have to subscribe to Xbox live to access streaming services through it.

1 Netflix account for all your devices.

I have Xbox 360, Wii, Samsung Blue Ray player all streaming and all do as good a job as the other.

There is also the new little Google Chromecast dongle that at $35 makes it easy for anyone with a TV that has a spare HDMI port and internet connection to stream Netflix.

I bought a Roku for just the same reason. However, most of the RV parks do not give out the best WiFi signals, so it may not work. I just gave up and now use the Roku just for home use. Bummer.

X2, had the same experience at RV Parks. Most do not have strong WiFi signals:(

Love my Apple TV. I have no experience with Roku but if its as simple to use as the Apple TV then it should be great.

The only think I don't like about what I have read on the Roku is that I can't stream content from my computer to Roku. It's nice to stream my favorite radio station or pictures from my iPhone to my Apple TV.

Thanks!

You're not going to find many CG wifi's that will support streaming and you're going to be very unpopular if you try. We happen to have an unlimited Verizon data account so we stream frequently, but you can set your Netflix account to limit the amount of data it uses. Streaming is quite feasible with a 4G connection and can even be done with a good stable 3G one.

If you're willing to live with an SD picture (which is fine for watching the foreign mystery TV series we like) you can limit yourself to ~1 GB for 2 hours of video. That means a 10 GB monthly plan could be used for as much as 20 hours of video. If your plan charges you $10 for each 1 GB over the plan's allowance then a 2 hour movie might only cost ~$10 which isn't that much more than a pay per view film costs on satellite TV but your choices may be far greater.

Sure, going to Red Box is cheaper (but don't forget to include the round trip gasoline cost) and there isn't always a Red Box in the middle of places like Grand Teton NP or Yellowstone. And some people will say pre-record on your DVR which is a great idea for a 2-week vacation but not for full-timing. And Neflix DVDs also aren't the easiest things to do when you don't have regular mail delivery available.
