Tired of my “old stick” crashing or freezing up at least once a week. My brand of TV does not have an app for DirectTV, so a stick was required. The original stick was recommended by the store I bought the TV from. Long story short, it was nothing but problematic. Fed up for the last time, I decided to try a Roku stick. It was a breeze to set up. It loads a lot quicker than the old stick, and so far, so good, I would highly recommended.
