Roku Canada

Without much fanfare the popular US based media streamer was launched in Canada. At present you can find a Roku box at most Walmarts and online through Amazon.ca with two different models available. If you have not heard of Roku the company makes a little box that connects to your TV to bring online content to the big screen. The box have built in channels such as Netflix and Crackle. You won't find the same channels as in the US due to copyright issues. There are many channels to pick from on the Canadian box, but no Hulu. Is this a worth while purchase? I wold say yes at less then $100 it will bring in a lot of content. If you are looking to reduce you cable bill or cut the cord this is another great solution that will provide hours and hours of TV viewing without a huge cable bill. You can learn more about Roku at www.roku.com for the different types of boxes available.
