Describe Yourself: Casual User

We originally purchased the Roku LT to watch the general conferences and Mormon Messages from our church: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We were amazed by the quantity and quality of content available on the Mormon Channel for Roku. Since buying it we have enjoyed Pandora Radio, an occosional old cartoon (there are some free channels with them), and some PBS content.

Now that we have the Roku, my wife and I have a TV that we feel comfortable leaving the kids around. We control what channels are on the Roku and thereby what content our children are exposed to. Until now we have avoided TV entirely, opting to simply watch movies on our computer rather than risk exposing kids to much of the dross out there on the air waves and cables. Thanks to Roku our HD computer monitor doubles as a family-friendly TV. Since Roku pulls content over our existing internet connection, there have been no additional service fees for us, just the one-time purchase.
