I bought 4 streaming sticks for my guests bedrooms when my cable provider decided to stop the cable connection to televisions without a cable box. Honestly, it's the best thing that could have happened. I now have more channels and content then I did with cable alone. I was already subscribing to Netflixs, Amazon Prime and Hulu. Now, I have the cable company app downloaded and those other content suppliers. The best of both worlds!
We bought this to be able to take our netflix, hulu, and crunchyroll from upstairs to downstairs very easily and it works so well! I plug my stick into the tv, plug the charger into the tv and boom go. It is so fast and easy!
It's been a great addition to our media package. With PureFlix and Netflix being the only reason we purchased it. It works great and the operation couldn't be easier!! It needs more channels that would be pre-paid with its original purchase!
The device itself seemed to work fine. Only problem is you have to have a really good wi fi. My wi fi is approximately 50 ft away maybe- and all the movies and shows I tried to watch continuously rebuffered I couldn't even watch them! But otherwise it's a good buy!
I already have a Roku 2 so I was familiar with the things it does. The Roku stick however is so convenient for use with flat panel televisions. Just like the Roku 2 it's easy to use. Just plug it in, connect to your network and that's it. No problem.
I bought my Roku Streaming Stick a few months ago, because I was making the switch from cable. I have really enjoyed the ease of use with Roku, and the great app options that are available. My only complaint is that I often have to "restart" the Roku, because the remote suddenly will stop controlling anything and I'm stuck on a screen. Sometimes by restarting the stick itself, but more often by taking out and putting back the batteries. Overall I really enjoy this product, and I doubt I'll ever go back to cable.
