Is Roku a Better Streaming Play Than Netflix?

Roku is still the streaming-device leader, controlling an estimated 39% share of the market, according to Parks Associates. Amazon.com's Fire TV is the current runner-up, with about 30%.
Roku augmented its streaming-device strategy by developing an operating system (OS) custom-designed for connected TVs -- rather than using a modified mobile device OS -- and partnering with a growing number of manufacturers that use the system in their devices. It recently reported that more than one-in-three connected TVs in the U.S. are Roku TVs.
