View allYou might reconsider in a few years when the Smart features of your TV aren't current any more, but you don't want to replace the TV.
Does your smart TV support Plex? Can you cast from Android apps to your smart TV? Are there any of the 1000+ Roku channels you think you would like to watch that aren't on your smart TV?
See table: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roku
We have almost all of the Roku variants in the office (including the old models) and have done performance assessments on them. I wouldn't buy the Roku 1, you'll spend a lot more of your life waiting, and waiting, and waiting...
Look at the Third Generation section for current offerings, plus the stick (3500) directly above it.
Thanks OP!!!
I checked it, it said $39.99. I called dad to confirm he'd want one for his TV, checked price again and it was $49.99.
