We have been using the Roku stick for over a month and have found it to be a convenient way to watch TV without paying for cable. My only complaint is that I had to reconnect the internet connection once this past week when the Roku service stopped working.
I love this item but I would like to know why is there not a switch to shut it off. Why do I have to remove it from my television each time. I also have a Roku Television in my bedroom but I wanted the Roku Stick for the Living Room and it would be nice if it had a shut off switch.
We decided to cut the cable to all of our TVs (5) and we bought 2 of the Roku sticks. It has been great. The Roku comes with a remote and has services and channels that you pick instead of the cable company. I have enjoyed Roku since plugging it in. Awesome product!
