I'm thinking of getting my Dad a Roku stick for Christmas. He loves TV and movies, but he's so behind (he just told me about this funny movie he saw called The Hangover... on TBS... ) and I think he'd love to have access to lots of movies and TV shows that my brother and I keep telling him he'll love, like Breaking Bad, House of Cards, some HBO shows, etc.

I already read that he can stream Netflix & HBO Go using my accounts, but my question is, for Roku users, how intuitive is it? He doesn't have a smart phone, but he's used to technology as far as like, the DVR, using the laptop, etc, and they have cable internet/wifi and an HDTV. Will I be able to just plug it in and he can maneuver it or am I setting myself up for hours of tech support?

I bought him a Kindle last year and he hasn't used it once because he "doesn't know how to put books on it". My other gift to him this Christmas will be one-on-one Kindle lessons, haha.
