I bought the Roku about a month ago because our smart TV couldn't stream an entire show off of Amazon Prime. We could watch maybe 10 to 15 minutes of it and then the show would stop and we could not get it to continue from that point. With Roku, the problem has been solved. I have been able to watch complete shows uninterrupted.
The Stick performs as advertised, but the remote is ridiculous. It works only half the time. I have to "reset" the remote by taking the batteries out, then putting them back in, every other time I use it. Thankfully, the the smart phone app works great.
It does work! But I have been having trouble figuring out how it does work! I am sure once I become familiar with the process I will enjoy it. The remote that came with my stick synced up just at first but then stopped working. I re synced it and it started working again. Time will be the true test!
We've had this for about five weeks. It took a little getting used to as it wasn't as responsive as my regular remote and several times I thought maybe I needed to change the battery. I've gotten used to it now and I do like it. It offers a variety of programs and the streaming content is always smooth and reliable.
I used the PS3 to streaming. This is a sweat treat and 1000x better. Easy to set up. Pictures are so clear. Only problem I have here is the promote control. I have to move with the batteries a little bit to get it working sometimes
I've had it for about 4 months, it keeps rebooting itself and the remote never stays synced with it. I had to download the roku remote app on iPhone to use it. When it stays on it is a very good product.
