Looking for more

I wonder sometimes if I'm the type of person that will never be satisfied. I have two ex-wives that would probably agree with that assessment.

About streaming, though. I've been a fan of Roku for years. I bought a Roku device in 2010, and have been streaming ever since.

Roku wasn't my first streaming device though. I had actually purchased an Apple TV device the same month as the Roku, but the Apple TV was for my wife (see first paragraph). It was for her to play her music she purchased from iTunes. The TV had a really good sound system, and the Apple TV was the best way to play through the system.

When Fire TV devices were released a few years later, I bought one and didn't really like it. However, I wanted to get something that was a little more than what I had. It wasn't, and Roku remained the streamer of choice.

I bought new Apple TV devices when the redesign gave it access to the App Store. I used the new Apple TV for a bit, but went back to Roku.

When Google TV devices came out (the interface for Android TV) I tried those. But Roku remained my go to device.

Why am I trying out these other devices if I'm happy with Roku? I'm not sure. I want the best, and maybe I'm missing out on something.

If I was like that in my relationships, I'd be running around with other women but going home at night to a wife. That's not what happened, and my multiple divorces were not due to infidelity; I'm simply a jerk and hard to get along with.

With a streaming device, there is no life-long commitment such as in a marriage (ideally). I want better. I like what I have, but want more.

My Streaming Life is mainly with Roku, but I will try out the other devices from time to time. Maybe I need to be more faithful to Roku. Or maybe Roku needs to do better. I have to say that overall, it does fine. Maybe it's me. I know a couple of women who would agree with that.
