What I like most is that it is easily plugged in to an available HDMI port and is also easily transferred from one TV to another. All of the programming is right there, all I have to do is click "Hulu" and it remembers what I've watched, offers recommendations, and keeps track of trends. If I get another TV, I'll get a 2nd stick!
Roku stick works good excep it is kinda slow. Its perfect if want something that works good but don't mind it being slow. If you want something just as good but much faster go with roku 3.
The idea of Roku is spot on and very timely as the our previous unit dropped U tube, however there are a couple of issues that need to be addressed.
First I often have to disconnect and then reconnect the unit before it will connect up to the internet and second the remote buttons are difficult to depress far enough to make contact and the remote has failed to operate after only a few sessions.
This device is a game changer for people that cut back services to save money. It's like have a red box in your home. I'm not sure how useful having access to Facebook is. Some of the apps seem really unnecessary but overall the device work and we like it!
