Good Show options, Worst Remote I've ever used

I bought this for my smart TV so I didn't need it for most of the apps. My primary reason was to get Sling TV to get ESPN, HGTV, and some others since we cut the cable cord. I'm pleased with what the TV content has. I have lots of trouble with the remote, called to ask if they would send me a new one. Told me to change the batteries and reset it. That works for a while and the same thing over again.
I bought my first streaming sticks a year ago, I enjoy the ability to watch what I want and when I want. I purchased the last one a couple of months ago for my mothers home entertainment. We both like the product.
I am only giving this four stars due to the remote unable to maintain connected to the Stick.
We use this in our guest bedroom and you cannot even tell it is installed behind the television. Guests get full access to our entire media library though Emby, Time Warner Cable, HBOGO and many other channels. Better than staying in a hotel. The only problem is that they have to install the Roku app on a phone or tablet to control it because the remote will not stay connected for more than 10 minutes. Used to buy only Roku 3 devices but this is a great alternative for budget purchases and allows you hide all the components easier.
