Roku has patented a way to ensure I will never own one of their devices, and I'll do my best to ensure no family or friends do either.

I e already begun. At least 5 people around me will never buy Roku again. Fortunately, they're tech smart, so it was easy to explain and didn't actually require convincing.

I replaced all of mine with Nvidia shield and Walmart onn streaming pucks. It's a better experience in every way (once projectivy is installed) and costs less too.

Is there a lot of dev going on for the Walmart pieces?
