The next day, Efiwym, my wife, and I talked about returning the Roku©. She was looking online and found out that a big box store had it for seven dollars cheaper. I kind of felt bad about not going back to the store I bought it from and just exchanging it. The salesclerks were nice,…

I still needed to install the Roku© in the family room. I had an opportunity the following weekend to install it. This Roku© had a voice-controlled remote and a power adapter.
