If it's on the network he works for, it's substantial.

How close are you, network wise, to the various CDNs that these would use?
You are literally the first person I have talked to that had problems with a
roku.

See that’s kinda funny for me… I have several Roku boxes and my experience with
all of them has been garbage….
Netflix is probably the most dependable app but even with it I’ve had some
weird things go on … Plex I have issues with every so often (audio out of sync
for example). When I try the same “programming” on Apple TV or PS4 I have zero
issues. It got to the point where I just packed them all up into a box and
threw them into a storage bin … only recently did I pull out a Roku 2 and Roku
3 to test an app from a competitor offering IPTV via Roku - it sucked badly too
and other people trialling the service were having issues too …

Roku is just an amazing nail on the head device. I still run the old xd it
still updates, the apps still update, it's got the supported dev channels.
That's probably one of the most elegantly perfect pieces of electronic in my
home

The problem with whatever app is on the TV (or if there is an app), is that if
the TV is more than 1 year old, it will never be updated again.
The Netflix app on our (now) 5 year old LG is a poor example of how Netflix
should actually work (or any of the online streaming services for that matter).
I didn't realize how poor until we installed a ROKU 2, and found out what a
reasonably modern implementation looked like.

Most of the smart TVs we run into seem to be Samsung. I know a lot of the early
ones also didn’t seem to play well with certain WiFi routers.
