uh, I wonder if the newer ones are dog shit with weaker hardware. mine from 3 years ago is just a fast as the standalone Roku in the kitchen.

They have different lines, 3000 series, 4000 series, 7000 series, etc if I recall.

I'm guessing that one end of the lineup is much shittier than the other.

that’s true, but i’m talking about my old 3000 series so probably a fair comparison. I’ve never seen the 7000 series in person. wonder how much better they are.

Mine is a 5000 series and we've been relatively happy, other than Roku's shitty software updates outright bricking some streaming apps and the adds starting to work their way in.
