I bought this about a month ago, it does have more choices than the Apple TV, but for some reason this little Roku stick gets exstremly hot is this normal? I hope this is not going to create any future problems.
I now own three Roku's and would buy a fourth if I had a 4th TV. I even have one on my SmartTV to pick up programs not carried on cable. It is probably the easiest remote to operate I own and programs stream effortlessly. It is fantastic.
I installed a Roku streaming stick about 2 months ago so that I could access SlingTV, Netflix, etc. It is currently housed inside of a cabinet, and it periodically has a little trouble connecting to wifi. Overall, I've had a solid experience with it. If I had it in a more open area, I'm sure it would be even better.
My husband wanted to watch the WWE network and ROKU allows him to do this for a small fee each month. These shows usually cost so much that we would not order them. Now he can see them whenever he wants. I wanted some channels that I could not get with my regular cable network. I first heard about ROKU through Worldview Weekend with Brannon Howse. He does programs that I can live screen through ROKU. It has been a great benefit to us and for a small amount of money.
I bought the Roku to replace cable. I have Hulu Plus (which was an absolute NIGHTMARE to set up) and Netflix as add ons and I am still saving a ton of money. The only complaint I have is that the remote doesn't seem to work all the time; even with new batteries. The first model I had didn't work at all so I'm concerned about the longevity of the product.
