Streaming TV media: Chromecast vs. Roku vs. Firestick....
- Thread starter HA2740

I have both a Roku and a Fire Stick. As far as performance I'd say they work equally well. My quibble with the Amazon Fire Stick is that the entire interface is geared towards Amazon and Amazon content with the other apps (Netflix/HBOGo, etc) just sort of shoved off into another area. They work fine though.
The Roku is obviously not as geared towards a specific service so you can set up whatever you want, front and center.
I like both though.

I used Roku for years and was fine. I recently bought TiVos and those have Neflix and Amazon apps baked in, so I don't use Roku anymore. The reviews are probably right that Roku has the most apps, but the fast majority of those are garbage anyway so it's mostly an irrelevant difference. All I used Roku for really was Netflix and Amazon. Sometimes I watched TED talks on the TED channel app, and also there's a 'hidden' channel that gives you all the free pron you could want. So there's that.
What's this 'hidden' channel you speak of and how might a guy find it?
I'm asking for a friend.
Log in to your Roku account online, go to your account info, choose add a channel, and enter "porn" for the channel code. And Voila, you now have a porn channel on Roku.
A friend told me this works...
I used to use a Boxee Box before they sold out and discontinued it. The thing actually shipped with embedded apps for YouP**n and P**nHub. They were even visible by default unless you went in and set parental controls to hide them.
I have used all 3 of these. To me, they all work great and it just comes down to 2 things- the interface and the remotes.
Personally, I find myself using the Roku more simply because the remote is easiest to use.
I would suggest buying the 2 or 3 you're interested in and trying them out at home for a week. Then return the ones you don't like. I don't abuse return policies but if I'm torn between 2 products I'll get both and return the other.

I can tell you through first-hand experience (in this case that would be my left-hand) that the porn channel on ROKU is real and it's spectacular. It's changed my life. Not sure if that change has been for the better or worse, but it's defnitley changed one way or another, that's for certain.
After reading many reviews about a year ago I went with the Roku 3. It has plenty of junky apps, the processor is faster than the chrome or Roku stick and it's just simple to use.

We've had 2 Firesticks and both have been awful. Just glitchy and really slow. We have an Appletv and Roku stick as well. Both are buttery smooth and work great.
VH1 is still a thing?
I can't activate that fast enough. Hope they still have pop up videos.

Hall of Famer
We didn't have MTV or VH1 when I was in high school, but I do remember TBS used to have videos on Fridays and I would watch them.
I remember jumping off the bus and running in to the house with my buddies the day we got MTV. 2 large pizzas, 10 hours and 6+ viewings of Rainbow's Stone Cold and Aldo Nova's Fantasy later, we were comatose and went home.
We didn't have cable where I grew up. By that I mean no one in my little cluster of small farming towns that went to my school had cable. I didn't get my MTV until I went to IU and even then, only in the lounge at the end of the floor. I was much more excited about finally having ESPN though.
