This is my 2nd Roku so I couldn't wait to start bragging about my for it & purchase. It did not disappoint, love the streaming mirroring feature, UNTIL my Netflix & other apps began to load extremely slowly and sometimes not at all. No its not a connection issue as my other Roku & Apple Tv loads just fine.
The Roku Streaming Stick is great as long as you have a smart phone and use the remote app. The supplied remote only connects to the Stick when it feels like it and that's not often.
We love the Roku product, However, we constantly have to remove the batteries from the remote to get it to work. Have changed the batteries several times but the problem continues. If it weren't for the remote problems we'd give an excellen
I purchased the Roku Stick for our small kitchen TV. Immediately noticed that the remote does not work properly. I have to open the back and remove and replace the batteries for it to function. A minute later - it'll act up again. Then what? That's right - I have to play with the batteries. I could not return the product because the packaging was ripped apart. Very disappointed and it was a waste of money.
While I think I'll love the Roku if I ever figure out how to work it. It would be even BETTER if the REMOTE I have WORKED! I have changed batteries, tried everything I can find on line, I can not reset because I cannot find any sign of a reset key. SO Maybe I was sent a bad One. I got a remote and a thing to plug in back and NOTHING WORKS!
We bought this about 6 weeks ago as we became cord cutters. The app selection needs tweaking as most of the cable channels apps need to tie to a service provider. We cut the cord. We have no providers so when setting up, Roku should ask if we do and eliminate all apps requiring one.
