This is my second stick, I have one in my living room and because i loved it, i purchased a 2nd one for the bedroom and gave away my chromecast. The first one works flawlessly, this 2nd one, the remote has to be paired with the stick every evening when i turn the tv on. No exception. I turn the tv on, the roku dancing starts, the icon is on netflix and the remote is not connected. i turn off the tv, remove the battery, hit the pairing button, turn everything back on and it works fine while everything is powered on.
tons of apps some good some not some apps are useless but roku I use it for sling TV stream stick very responsive remote a little to small but works well
I had a roku for four years and it started freezing up so I upgraded to a roku stick. It worked great for 24 hours and then the remote became unresponsive despite resetting, replacing batteries, pairing the devises, trouble shooting internet issues, and calling the help line for their assistance. They sent a new remote and the same thing happened about a week later. Luckily there is an app to control the roku stick but it still freezes at times.
