Roku

I have an old Roku (5-6 years) that I think has crapped the bed. Playback on it stinks even with a strong signal. I couldn't watch the end of the basketball game last night and definitely need an upgrade before the 31st!
Anybody have any reccomendations on the multiple models that are available now? Pros, cons, differences, etc.?
In my best TigerNet lingo... TIA in advance

Please do, it will be worth it. One time 39$ you'll get your money's worth

I would go amazon firetv box, not the stick. Kodi is amazing. Don't have to be a computer geek, just follow a 10 min YouTube tutorial. The reason I say firetv box instead of stick is the stick has lower processing power. ESPN3 buffers at least 5 times per game. It never does on my iPad so I know that it's not my internet

Hmmm? $90 seems excessive to me, unless you're doing some heavy internet processing. I have Charter internet and pay $60/mth for 60 MBS. How fast is your internet?

I am paying $70 for 3 mbs. That's right, 3 mbs. I live out in the sticks, no cable service and a long distance from the Century Link box. Any ideas how I can obtain a higher mbs?

The Roku Premiere+ is great. Especially if you have a 4K tv
