I am still learning to use the various channels, but the stick works fine. Some of the "free" streaming channels are only free for a short time. Once you are in one of the streaming channels, it is sometimes hard to move around.
We purchased the Roku stream stick several months ago after owning the Roku HD. At first, we were pleased with our purchase but after awhile, it became glitchy and finally stopped working all together. Perhaps, this was the fault of my television in that it did not have a USB port and so the Roku needed to stay on all of the time. Who knows? We attempted to replace it with 2 other stream sticks with no better results. Finally, we purchased a Chromecast. It has worked better but I do miss having an actual remote to navigate the channels with...
this is the absolute worst roku purchase i have ever made. the roku stick is junk. when i first got it it worked fine for maybe 2 months. then it wouldn't connect to the internet so i did a factory reset and it started to work fine. anyone more most of the time it doesn't connect to the internet. i have had to factory reset it half a million time and that doesn't seem to work. i have had it alittle over a year. originally roku only gave you a 90 day warranty. because they knew after 3 months it wouldn't work properly. i have always had a roku streaming device because i thought they were great. not anymore. if someone gives you a roku stick as a gift say thanks but no thanks i want a streaming player thats actually gonna work.
I bought worked about a month it locks up has to be factory reset and reprogrammed weekly I finally gave up and it went out with the trash I will never waste my money on the stick again.
I have four TVs in my home including two new smart ones. Also have two streaming Blue Ray players and a TV on my boat. They all have a Roku 2 or a Roku stick. After getting my first Roku I cancelled my cable and satellite cntracts. I've never been happier with TV. Rokus are fast,simple intuitve and Easy to u.se
I purchased three sticks to convert all of my televisions. Overall an excellent product but I find myself rebooting the stick and remote a great deal. They seem to freeze up or refuse to load more than 25 of the program. A little annoying but I can live with it with the hope for a softwae fix sometime soon.
I got this roku stick and sometimes it lags but the biggest problem is the remote never works. I have replaced the batteries several times and it will work one time then not work again after.
