I love this ROKU Stick. It is so easy to set up and use. I have an antenna on the roof which gives me many free broadcast stations. Streaming with this stick gives me almost everything that I had before I became a CORD CUTTER and said goodbye to CABLE. The network channel FEELN was offering this ROKU stick free with a 2-year subscription and then I even got 2 free months of HULU! Pandora music is great also. I have had a Sony Smart player for a year or so, and this is SOOO much better! I'm still discovering features, but am amazed at all of the free channels.
I bought the Roku Stick in early August. The remote quit working after 3 weeks and nothing I have tried will get it going again. New batteries. Reset. Inplug, restart. Reset. Repeat.
I have a yahoo smart tv and it's ok. But the selection on Roku is fantastic. Love the Sling option and the variety of other apps are well worth the money! The stick is super easy and reception on tv is fantastic
Saw my brothers Roku in action and I was sold. For only 50 bucks, the content of free programs was incredible! The picture quality was amazing. I recommend the Roku Streaming Stick highly!!!!
While my wife loves the simplicity of the Roku remote, and the streaming quality is excellent, we did have some issues with it. She still has the problem of it not saving her location in Netflix. We have other smart devices and all of them save the location when we stop playing something. On the Roku it seems to be random. For some shows our place is saved, but for others we have to start at the beginning and fast forward. Also, the remote will sometimes not work right away. We have to press the buttons several times before anything happens.
I have three rokus and the first two work great, but the last one I bought isn't so good. The remote control only works half the time making it very annoying to use
