Guest Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Both my daughter's rokus died in the last month. I gave my oldest the Fire TV stick I bought to put Kodi on (I only use it for PPV events anyways), will probably buy my youngest one too but she needs a new TV with an HDMI port. She's gotta wait cause we just replaced our broken ass bedroom TV (with a built-in Roku TV, coincidentally). The spending never ends! Nancy_raygun, have you considered an Amazon Fire Stick or TV box with Kodi (xbmc)? It's fly by night as hell, but you can stream pretty much anything for free. I had a fire stick with Kodi on it for a while, but the interface was painfully slow, so I sold it. I don't have anything right now, just plug my laptop into my TV when needed, but I have not turn my TV on in weeks and I'm fine with it.

stranaspank Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I've been running Plex on my Roku 3 for a while and have had only a few issues. It doesn't play every single kind of video format but it's not that big an issue. It plays the majority of them. I paid $5 once and I still get updates. I use it to stream movies from my PC to my TV. That's all I'm using it for. Yeah, I just use it for movies and TV shows that I've downloaded. Nothing too intricate. I thinking maybe I can get a cheap one off Craigslist and just use it for Plex, then continue using the Xbox for everything else. Good to know the $5 is actually one time.

Shitty Rambo Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Google chromecast is the beeessstttttttt Can't argue with this, a Chromecast + Flud + an IPtorrents account is all anyone really needs (assuming you have an Android device).

radiatorhums Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I prefer Kodi running on a Linux box, but I think I want a lot more control and versaitility than most people too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
