Great Device. Horrible Remote.

My wife and I love everything about the Roku except the remote. It was barely functional out of the box. Support had us update the firmware, which helped for a bit. Now it's so hit or miss that we end up just using the iOS remote all the time. Really want to give it 5 stars, but the remote issue is very frustrating.
My Roku is has not been working. I have to watch Netflex on my smart TV. I haven't been satisfied with this purchase. It's the second Roku I got. The first one did not work at all, I had to return it to H.H. Gregg.
I wanted to wait a while before the review. It's been about 3 months now. Netflix always freezes and shuts down and that's what we purchased this for. Unfortunately I lost receipt and can't return it. Wish I would have stuck with Chromecast like we have in our living Room.
I have used Roku in the past but came back for the Sling TV option. Thank you for adding this. I love the ease of selecting what I want and the stick is so simple to keep plugged in the TV.
It functions a little slow with delays but content beats my Chromecast with content. Having apps for the local network stations would seal the deal for content. It would be better if it could mirror my phone/tablet/laptop like the Chromecast but overall, a great piece outside of the speed. Chromecast beats it by far in that catagory.
