Love the Roku - recently purchased the streaming stick. Have two other Rokus plus a similar apple TV streaming product. Installation was a snap. Purchased an adapter so that I could mount the device vertically on HDMI4 with power from a UBS port. It worked great for about two weeks before it failed to connect to my Wi-Fi when I attempted to connect to MLB-TV. Multiple attempts failed. Connected to MLB-TV via the Apple device and it worked fine. Re-connected the Roku to HDMI3 and it worked fine. My internet connection is reliable at 30 Mbps download. Other than that it would be five stars.
I love the stick, But I wish the remote would work. after about 2 days the remote stopped working. I replaced the Batteries but still does not work. Had to use the Iphone app to control the stick. I would give 5 stars if the remote worked.
I bought this product last month and have greatly enjoyed it. It is a pug and play, which is very easy; it comes with a remote, on screen set up is very simple to follow, and it is also easy to add channels while channels like netflix, sling and youtube are already installed. I love it, it has helped me to ditch cable.
We bought this for our family vacation and it very conveniently plugged into the hotel TV. Although the hotel WIFI wouldn't permit us to connect for streaming videos, we were able to tether to our iPhone hotspot and enjoy accessing our ROKU channels!
I've had the roku for about a month and about 2 days after purchasing it the remote wouldn't connect to the stick. Fortunately there was an app for the iPhone. If the app wasn't there I would have taken it back. I like that everything is in one spot but it could be a little more user friendly.
