I bought the Roku steaming stick about a month ago, and we have used it every day since. I love being able to watch things like HBOGo on my larger tv rather than on a computer. My only problem is that the remote stopped working within about a week of purchase. I've tried looking up strategies to restart it, without success. But they have a free app and you can control the device entirely from your phone, so it hasn't been all that much of a problem.
We have had ours for a month, most is for movies and some news and works good for now. Lets hope no changes in the future or goes down hill as our cable service.
I bought this unit last spring. We had a Roku 1 in our bedroom. I got the Stick for my wife's scrap-booking room. It would not work. Not enough signal. I swapped it with Roku 1 and the Roku 1 has worked fine for six months. I moved the Stick to the bedroom and it works almost. It locks up fairly often and has to be rebooted. About a month ago locked up and would not reboot. I contacted Roku service, went thru all the steps and finally I had the push the reset button. Then I had to re-enter all my passwords and other information and it was finally back in service. Last night it locked up again and I had to re-boot again. Pain in the *!#().
Been a Roku user for about one month now. It scales to the budget of the end user from free trials and basic free entertainment options to monthly subscriptions as well as pay on demand. Good bye cable forever.
