I received the Roku as a gift. Since I am on a fixed income, I did not like that I need to use a credit card to activate the unit. Also, the remote keeps freezing and I keep having to take a battery in and out to reactivate the remote. I only use a few of the free channels, due to my monetary restraints and those I use works fine
I bought the streaming stick a out 2-3 months ago. At first it was great. But now I have to constantly reset it. It always says to check my connection with whatever app I am using. Of course it's too late to exchange it. Wish I had never purchased it. Roku 3500X
We have tried other streaming devices and found them hard to navigate. The Roku stick has been great. Easy to use. We watch more movies than we ever have before.
My apartment doesn't have a cable hookup in all rooms, so I needed to find a way to access my tv over the internet. The ROKU stick came up as an option. I tried it and it is working perfectly! Better "reception" than the TVs hooked into the cable directly. The only thing I don't like is I would like to be able to enter channel numbers on the remote, but I can only go up and down in the guide to get to a channel. Entering numbers for the guide or directly for the channels would be awesome!
It has great features, good channels, but sometimes it freezes, channels offering limited features... So channels have to be improved also. Connection to a tv sometimes go out, then comes back. Use the best, if something doesn't work, stay away from that channels... Or skip forward,
