I bought this device and when I began watching Netflix a message appeared saying the HDMI cord is not recognized that was my first warning, then a week later every streaming channel I went into and tried to play anything I would get total blackness, but the sound was there. I unhooked it and went back to using my old Roku device.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
