This device provides so many more entertainment options. From old television shows to movies from all genres. No wonder the internet is buzzing about the future of cable. With a device like the Roku and all it has to offer, television as we know it is about to change!!!
I have one in the guest room and bought another one for the sunroom. The main reason is tv is giving us so many commercials that it takes away from what we are watching
bought this a couple of months ago, but from day 1 it freezes all the time and i have to press the button on the stick or remove 1 battery and replace it into the remote. Other than that it works flawlessly.
I've been using the ROKU Streaming Stick for about 3 weeks. Got a problem with it. I don't know whether I just got a bad remote, or whether this problem is standard with the stick. The first thing I noticed was that at least once a day I had to take the batteries out and reverse them to get it to work. Then I realized that if I had to do that, it was a sign that the batteries were weak, so I put in fresh batteries. Great, for a couple of days, and then the same problem--none of the buttons on the remote worked until I reversed them. I've gone through a dozen or so batteries so far just to keep it working.
Another problem, maybe not related to the stick itself, is that when I'm scrolling through a menu, any menu, it will suddenly zip through the programs in fast forward. If I push reverse several times, it will eventually stop, but I have to go back and find my place again, and the problem still occurs after a few clicks one by one. I'm not pushing hard, just a quick tap, but it still zips into fast forward every few taps.
Otherwise, it's fine, I've watched lots of good movies and series and enjoyed them very much.
I'd appreciate some feedback from others who have the stick to see if these problems are common or are just mine.
