As good as the Roku 2

I find this to be very reliable so far and it easily meets our requirements. The only caveat I have thus is that the remote is temperamental. With the OK button in the middle of the cursor buttons, it is easy to hit the wrong button; also, it sometimes sticks and keeps repeating my last action, which causes me to have to start over with whatever I am doing. Other than that, I have recommended it to a few people.
Great features, not as smooth as Roku 3 I also own. Remote is a little stiff, and buttons can "stick" and "over scroll" through channels. Also, when powered with usb on tv it takes some time to power up after TV has been turned on - not bad, just not instant. Have not tried to use direct power supply.
As soon as I can get an antenna to get local channels I plan on dumping my satellite service. Only issue I have had is with the remote. I downloaded the program to my phone and use that.
Constantly resetting. Plays for about 20 minutes, with about 3 to 4 re-freshes, then stops all together. Have to unplug it and wait a few minutes before starting over. Bought an Apple TV, never had another problem!
