We put a TV on our covered patio where we have no TV cable or satellite service, but with the Roku stick we can take advantage of our Netflix service! Love it! (Now back to my patio vacation...)
The stick was given to me as a gift to expand my viewing options. At times the system can be frustrating by not connecting completely to wi-fi. At times have had to resert the device. This may be due to wi-fi signal strength, but not sure...
I bought this product a few weeks back after checking out a similar device from Microsoft. Although I own at least 3 Roku devices, wanted to see if others have a better product. The answer in an emphatic NO. Roku product are easy to set up and work extremely well
We already had an original Roku and we have a TV outside, which we watch a lot. We didn't want to have to plug and unplug the Roku when we wanted to watch something outside so we bought the Roku stick. It is just FABULOUS! As there is a USB on the TV, and the Roku stick has a USB connector, it is so easy and simple to move. We also happen to have a small indoor gym and the same situation applies. I love to watch Acorn TV and simply moving the Roku stick in there helps the time pass so much more quickly.
My son told me to get a Roku a long time ago and I didn't listen, what a big mistake. I am 100% satisfied and will definitely be replacing cable when I can.
Convenient, easy set-up, but took a long time to load options, and doesn't maintain a strong wi-fi connection, even when within 15 feet of router. Our Roku 2 is much more reliable.
