I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner, much sooner. Netflix, Hulu and Amazon prime have been around for many, many years now. Why all the sudden, people realized they could leave their tv-subscriptions, now in 2017?

Roku has made all the difference for many. It has most every streaming option including Amazon who refuses to work on Chromecast.

It's easy compared to most other Internet Video Stream Receivers by offering a WiFi remote (not your phone) and a TV/Cable channel metaphor UI rather than a web metaphor UI.

It works really well for the non-technical and older people.
