Works, but not seamlessly

The roku stick has worked well, especially for sling tv. However some of the other channels don't load the first time or lag behind on updates compared to other devices. The NFL app still hasn't been updated though this isn't Roku's fault.
This is my third ROKU ( I have one for each room) I've had it for a few months. Not as happy with this one, it doesn't stay connected to internet & there is a problem with the remote. It has to be reset every time it is used. I wonder if the remote can be replaced. Maybe the problem lies there. Never had this problem with the others. I'll be shopping for a different one. Or maybe a new remote?? I would have rated "ease of set up" & "easy use of product" higher if it would stay connected & I didn't have to reset it all the time. The value of something I'm not to happy with isn't much.
Bought the Roku Stick a month ago for affordable access to Netflix, YouTube, etc. I works well enough. One complaint is the remote is often unresponsive, then catches up in a flash.
We have had this about a month and enjoy the choices of entertainment. Although it buffers a little more than I like, it eventually shows us our choice. Great little stick!
I use the stream stick to get Sling TV but it drops connection a lot especially with ESPN channels. My signal throughout the house is strong but for some reason this decice losses the connection. Frustrating
