    Roku also does not work well with Crunchyroll at all.

    You can’t get any dubs, and if you get subtitles - they only seem to be in the language the show is. E. G. Japanese subtitles only for Japanese Audio.

    It’s so dumb that neither Crunchyroll nor Roku will budge.

    If you don’t care about anime. Roku is better than the alternatives.

      The Roku does nothing at all better than the Nvidia Shield. Roku also has giant ads you can’t get rid of. They recently blocked the few workarounds people found.

      Honestly, you could just flash the fire stick. That might be the cheapest and most effective option.

        The Nvidia Shield is $200. You might as well buy a used laptop, a nuc, or an old desktop at that point.

        It also already had End Of Life for one of its key features - Game Streaming. So I am convinced it will be supported for much longer.
