I bought the stick about a month ago... and it seems to act up every now and then. I need to get very close to the apparatus to make it work sometimes... other times it just freezes and reloads forever so I restart it.
I do however, like that Roku has an app for smart phones. Much more convenient.
But I would recommend the box over the stick to a friend.
Love it! Since purchasing this little stick, rarely does a day go by when I do not use it, often preferring to see what's available to watch on my Roku over regular tv programming.
