Just bought stick because needed different system for 2nd TV. Like box a whole lot better than stick. But it still streams OK. Recommend spending the extra money for box.
The menu isn't the best compared to other devices and it can be slow at times. Really has a problem loading content so I have to restart it. Remote could control the tv would be great or atleast the volume.
I purchased my first ROKU a couple of years ago, my son and husband started using it on another tv. (Thought I would get it back for my tv, nope!) So I decided to go purchase a second ROKU player. So glad I did, I had forgotten about Netflex original series.
I have had this for a couple of months. I had subscribed to Feeln but had no way to bring it up except on my computer. Roku allows me to watch it on my tv and I love it. The only downside I have experienced is that when using the remote it sometimes won't work unless I go to the back of my tv with the remote. It's like it won't read it unless it has a closer contact with the plugin. A little inconvenient but does not keep me from loving the benefits.
I bought a Streaming Stick so that I could watch the Acorn app on my Smart TV. It is just as easy, if not more so, as Netflix streaming. The only thing was that I had to have the b/g/ns required updated to g/ns through XFinity. All is wonderful now - super clear picture and quick-loading. I highly recommend it.
My Roku stick worked for about three weeks then quit. I tried the reset and every troubleshooting avenue I could and then called support. The young lady I spoke with was very difficult to understand, but we persevered and she resolved the problem by sending me a new remote. So, even though there was an issue with the product, the customer service was very good.
