Well I am so sorry to say it, but my entire family has pulled the trigger and we have jumped ship. My 2 high end ROKUs are going in the garbage. Our adult children also have the same ultra box's. We have 8 between all of us.
VidAngel said they are on the verge of getting a deal with the Fire TV devices, so we and all our adult children agreed on the Fire Cube 2.0 with remote, and it's a real beauty.
I think we will get over the sadness with this new platform. I will report back after we have had a little more time to work with it. I have a grandaughter in college so we may send her one as well. This will give us a total of 9 devices spread across the U,S. and that will give the new platform a good test across a wide variety of family age groups. If there is something important lacking with the fire cube we will know soon enough.
Tossing our devices away was a bit of a monetary loss for us, and, we would have liked to have found a place to recycle the two in our house but couldnt find a place in our small community. But our children live in four different states, so they may have electronic recycling centers near them.
As a family we discussed the idea of giving them away, but we agreed to toss or destroy them all, since we would just be making our current problem of loosing or clean viewing choices someone else's problem with the ROKU platform.
So to the dump or recycle center they all go. Ouch!
Ah well, times change, and companies change, sometimes both loose.
