I got this product as a promotion for subscribing to a streaming channel. The Roku stick was easy to set up and easy to use as opposed to streaming through a gaming system. There were some problem keeping the remote synced, which affected the ability to use the roku.
I purchased the Roku Stick primarily for the Miracast feature but am thrilled with all the options available. My LG Volt Phone immediately recognized the Roku and connected effortlessly. Streaming through the Miracast feature has worked without a glitch. The Channel Store has some interesting free channels but I was so impressed with the streaming ability that I signed up for Netflix. My only complaint is the Remote can sometimes be unresponsive, but customer service is trying to resolve that for me. This was an excellent purchase and I could not be happier.
I like my Roku. It's small and easy to transfer between my televisions. There is so much content available to stream. I love the sync feature with my smart phone. But the Roku remote... It is malfunctioning. I've switched batteries. I've followed the remote pairing instructions in the guide book with no success. So, for now I'll just use my smart phone to operate my Roku stick.
