If you want to view stuff legitimately, what advantages does the Kodi provide? The Roku has so much content that, combined with VM's offerings, there should be more than enough for everybody. How easy is the Kodi to set up for non techies?
PS - Just had a quick look at the supporting information and it appears that the Kodi is more of a video player than a streaming service. I don't think this is for me at all.

I think for many people who wish to have a wide range of legitimate content a box like the Roku you suggested would be the way to go.
Kodi is unlikely to have services like Netflix supported natively within it in the foreseeable future if ever.
Without wishing to get too technical it cannot handle streams containing DRM so unless the media companies work with the team at Kodi and create binary addons for it (which seems unlikely) many legitimate services will not be on the platform.
As I said previously those legitimateservices that are on it provide in my opinion a much greater visual experience over their browser or app based counterparts but are reliant on someone developing and maintaining the addon in their spare time,
a good example of this is Amazon Prime, this worked very well on Kodi until a couple of months ago when Amazon changed things on their website, the person who wrote this addon seems to have given up on it so now there's no Amazon Prime on Kodi.
