8. We have an NVidia Shield streaming device.

We also have Roku but I prefer the NVidia for some reason. We’ve had them both for a few years now. IIRC, we had to switch to NVidia when we signed up for a specific streaming service which we don’t have anymore. The streaming service itself turned out to be very very unreliable. But, the device works fine with all the others that we have. {Amazon Prime, Netflix, NordVPN, and Apple, and the free ones like Tubi, etc}. I can’t speak for other streaming services like Hulu, Paramount, Max, Disney+. We don’t have them, either because we aren’t interested in the subject matter, or because of the company’s fascist business practices.

Like Roku, NVidia is only a one time device purchase, with no monthly fee.

I prefer the NVidia , the interface is slightly different and I find it makes more sense. Or maybe it’s how our old smart TV reacts with it. But, in any case, if you want to walk away from Roku, try NVidia.
