I wanted to get away from cable and contracts and the Roku stick has been a great way to do this. There are great options for viewing all the programs we like as a family. These options are both paid and free, but if we don't like the channel you can cancel it without penalty. Many of the paid channels offer a free trial period which allows you to sample the content before you make a commitment.
I love having Netflix and Amazon videos right on the TV. There are also so many other great features this offers. I have just begun to use the rest of the awesome streaming apps. Could not be happier!!
I bought my streaming stick a few months ago. It does not work well on my smart TV. It keeps either loosing connection or will not connect at all. It does however work great on my other TVs. I wanted the conveyance of not having that little box and extra cord setting next to my TV in the living room. So, I still have the box and extra cords in my Living room and use the stick in the bedroom or kitchen. The conveyance of the portality to unplug it and move it to a different TV is fantastic. Have had not problems on any of my other TVs.
I bought my Roku to replace a wii to get to Netflix. It is much easier to use. The one area I have problems with are the long delays between steps to get to Netflix. I thought with a dedicated button for Netflix I could just push it and I would be at the screen to select movies. Not so. The long delays are exacerbated by the lack of feedback. I push a button and there is no indication that anything has happened until 15-30 seconds later, when the next window opens.
