I disagree. There is a lot of content on Netflix streaming. Can you find everything? No. But I’m actually shocked at how much I can find.

I gave up premium cable about 2 years ago and just use Roku/Netflix Streaming and am very happy—especially about not paying for crap cable shows I don’t watch. With today’s technology, its now longer acceptable to see the shows you want on someone else’s schedule. My one (slight) regret is that I can’t see a handful of shows when they’re fresh, like “The Walking Dead” for example.

Primarily as a result of the old guard not licensing content or demanding fees that would break Netflix's pricing model. It ain't because Netflix doesn't want to stream it -- they'll show pretty much anything if they can get their hands on it legally.

As more and more folks flee cable/satellite, the industry as a whole is going to have to adapt to figure out how to survive profitably.

Netflix is just one streaming option. There are more channels than Netflix on Roku. For example, The Blaze is available on Roku.
