What I liked so much about the Roku is that they were really cheap, mostly worked w/o too much bother and you could opt out of any “subscription” bullshit. I mostly just want the hardware, maybe if it offers firmware updates, fine, but other than that, I don’t really want to hear from the makers of the hardware.

I might opt for buying something really small like mini or sbc or the like when I need to replace the Rokus I have. Some of them are many, many, many years old and have kept on chugging, though.

Might hold off on buying new hardware since anything computer has gone up in price and/or is backordered…
