Video Streaming-Opinions
I would like input on the various video streaming. Roku3 is rated high but do I need all those features?

We are lucky enough to have unlimited Verizon accounts, but even if you don't have that, don't listen to people who tell you streaming is too expensive.
Spoken like someone with an unlimited data plan.
I have a 40 GB Verizon plan and it's very easy to chew up a lot of data on streaming.
If you have a 40 GB plan then you aren't all that far from our usage. We use ~50-60 GB/mo without any concern about how much we are using and we stream several times a week. Many people don't realize that your actual data usage is often well below the maximums because your internet connection simply won't support it. We happen to like to watch foreign TV series that were originally broadcast in SD; they simply don't take that much data to stream.
Our usage without streaming is in the ~5-10 GB/mo range with two laptops that are in use a lot.
