Any suggestions

Amazon seem to be the bad boys, favouring their own hardware and a couple of consoles.

Quote from: Mordac_The_Preventer Saw the roku page, but it didn't list netflix
Apologies, really bad Roku website design where it's really not obvious you have to scroll sideways.... Netflix is listed. I guess the only notible absence is ITVplayer

We have a Chromecast, but lack of Amazon and ITV means it's not the full package, and I loathe buying the fire stick, simply because by withholding Amazon prime from Chromecast, that's exactly what Amazon are trying to make me do, buy their hardware and a ticket into their walled garden.
I like the Android TV products, but again Amazon like chromecast are crapping on consumers here too..

I have Roku LT, HDMI Stick and NowTV box based on Roku3 ( that I got for free to beta test)
Personally I would go for Roku as it offers best range of apps.
Range on NowTV box is limited because it's heavily subsidised.
Roku 3 is more powerful than HDMI Stick but stick is much cheaper as does everything I need,

Amazon uk seem to have sold some but now they are showing as unavailable and the small number of reviews on amazon would seem to suggest there is some problem with them, ? noise/heat ?
This of course has nothing to do with the roku 3 which seems highly rated but it seems odd that a newer model with additional features may have problems the earlier model did not have.

Yes - later models are dual band wi-fi and Roku4 also has ethernet.
One needs unlimited as I use around 300Gb/month,
From phone

I guess it also requires a stable internet connection at or above a particular speed so some on ASDL may have a problem using it ?
