(4,258 posts)41. So in some respect it's similar to a Roku device
Roku isn’t a streaming service (although they do have a freevee channel); it’s just a device that connects your tv to the internet and lets you add “apps” to watch other providers’ content. The main difference is that Roku is NOT an IPTV device, but SuperBox is. It looks like a very good option for people who want broadcast TV!

Live TV is an option, and, in pseudo-DVR fashion, you can "record" live shows to watch later

No cable, no satellite, no broadcast, two or three ad free streaming services, and DVDs.
