I have been a long time Apple TV user and purchased this product specifically to use with Sling. Not only will sling not load any video (works fine on my phone, laptop and ipad), but constantly crashes and reboots when trying to use other apps like Netflix and Hulu. I have gone through all of the troubleshooting guides for both the Roku and the Apps. The thing is just a complete piece of garbage. The remote even started having problems after less than an hour of use, could not navigate up in the menus, only down. It did do one thing very well though, it reminded me again why I am strictly an Apple user.
I bought roku for my room about 4 months ago and everybody that would see it loved it. I then bought two more for the living room and my mother's room. We are so happy with it. We don't use all the because there are so many. You need to subscribe to mostly every channel which makes it impossible to pay for every single one.
Getting started was a bit difficult for an old dude. I gradually got better and I am now getting used to the path ways to finding what I am interested in. I am still nervous about how the stick fit into my Sylvania TV. with the power cord on it I really had to twist things to fit it all in the space available.
We bought a roku to avoid overpriced cable/satellite. We couldn't be happier! Great selection of free programming/channels and the opportunity to pay for additional channels with no contract!
