The Roku stick is perfect for the large screen TV in our living room. The device is completely hidden behind the screen, yet the remote communicates effectively. We keep discovering enjoyable streaming programming on Roku, so cable may become a memory, soon.
We have been using Roku's various streaming devices for about 4 years now and have been very satisfied with all of them. We decided to try the "stick" out for the television in the master bedroom of our summer home. The installation was simple and quick with no hick-ups etc. and it was up and running in about 10 minutes. I opted to use the power adapter in order to keep the USB ports available on our Samsung LED television. Most of the time the "stick" is top notch in operation however periodically (three times in a bit more than 4 weeks so far) it requires rebooting (disconnecting its power supply momentarily). Usually the first symptom a reboot is needed is the momentary loss of sound during streaming which for us first appears while streaming video from Hulu and as the symptoms worsen the behavior is also observed while viewing Netflix as well. If the stick is not rebooted the quality continues to worsen and includes flickering and or lines flashing across the picture.
I purchashed roughly 2 months ago, and am very satisfied with the unit. Although a bit slow in the loading times, the unit has a great variety, and streams flawlessly.
In my country of Antigua my Roku is very limited on contents. I wish I could cancel it.. I can get no good programming. No Netflix and the like. Please change that. I could recommend it to others her but it is too limited for our part. If I buy a smart TV Netflix works but not on Roku.
My remote is broken and I have to wait 3-5 business days for a replacement,I cannot give any better than a fair rating.The content is good but I am having problems with Sling TV as it keeps going out.
I bought this about a month ago and so far very satisfied. I has great portability for when you wish to take movies to friends and family's. the compact size makes it g
