If I was in your boat I’d probably do what you’re doing right now, because I hate Roku’s operating system. Long ago my family used this Roku for the same use case:

It’s the Roku Roku Express+ 3910RW. Apparently it doesn’t get updates anymore though so your mileage may vary with this thing.

I hear good things about the Ultra but I’ll never buy one. The Premiere+ is still killing it and I don’t think we’ll need to replace it, and nobody in the family seems to care as much about this as I do so I don’t think they’ll be replacing the other Roku products in the home anytime soon.

Hmm I can’t say I’ve ever used the voice features. But I (unfortunately) got my family into the Roku ecosystem awhile ago (before streaming blew up, we had got rid of DirecTV longgggg ago when it became too expensive and my dad had lost his job) and every single Roku device we’ve ever had except for the 2018 Roku Premiere+ just slowly gets more and more broken over time. The interface will take multiple seconds to respond to a button press after a couple years or so. It’s so bad that we have a Roku TV that’s so slow that there’s a Roku device plugged into it that we use instead, and even that device is so slow that I’m washing it got burned with fire. On top of that I can tell that certain apps know that they’re running on crappy hardware and software (particularly the Sling TV app), and deliver footage at a horrendously low video quality as a result.

I do but at least they don’t prevent you from suing them like Roku does.

Never mind, I guess they do

The operating system is still better though. Suck it Roku.

LOL fair. If I have a choice (we’ll see when I move out) I take Google TV over Roku everytime. Roku’s software is horrible, Apple got sued over doing far less than what Roku does with their operating system.

Why would I use Roku anyways? It’s such an inferior television operating system.

I ain’t reading all that

Who’s behind this new push to stop piracy? The NFL? It’s gotta be coming from somewhere.
