Roku solved my wifi/buffering issue way back in 2015 or so, when i was using a Sony bluray player that had built in streaming capability. I became a devout user after that.

Also the UI isnt clunky, laggy like so many cheap TVs and such (except the Youtube App is fucking laggy trash).

Is the recommended ONN streamer (see above) as good as the Roku at all the same shit?

I would love to ditch the rokus for all the same shit.

    Roku's slide into corporatism kinda hurts. I really liked their product and their lead developer came from the Amiga Universe.

    I honestly don't now. I haven't owned a Google Streamer since the Asus days.
