I setup a mini pc with Linux Mint to act as a streaming device that has worked great!
Also the nvidia shield. It does what roku does but better and offers more.
roku is more than just the hardware, or even the 'app' platform (where i'm guessing most of their revenue comes from). they have original content and a decent ad-supported service of their own. and you don't need their device to watch.. works in browser.
You contradict yourself.
You say that like something has happened recently to make it more crowded.
Roku is the leader in this space and they barely have any new competition that they didnt have 5 years ago.
