Love the Streaming Stick

I love the Roku streaming stick. I use it as a second player in my house as well as take it on the road with me for work. Works great in hotels even with secure connections that require logging in through a site. Only complaint is the interface lags a little bit in comparison to other players and the battery life in the remote sucks for some reason, but neither matters that much to me.
I have owned a Roku 3 for a couple of years, and love it. The stick? I am still undecided on. I had read that it could be slower to load, but my problem isn't with the loading, it is with freezing. I had thought maybe it was an app, but the same app works fine on the Roku 3. Now the remote is also sticking, or not connecting. Is it my unit? I wouldn't be writing this review yet, but Roku keeps emailing me. You get what you nag for.
The remote refuses to work. I have reset the remote and the device and it will not work. I have put in mew batteries but no luck. I am now forced yo use my tablet as a remote.
I use Roku as my sole live streaming device and am pleased. My on displeasure is the quality of the Remote. This is my second Remote and falling apart again. Battery compartment falls off all the time. Just used tape to keep on. Maybe they will send me another to replace.
I have this on a TV at the other end of the house where my network signal is a little low. However, the Roku stick works great and hardly ever drops any frames. I'm very happy with it.
