I used Wii for several years for my tv streaming. I recently replaced it with a Roku stick. Wow! What a difference in the picture. The menu is really easy to navigate, too. The only two issues I have are: Where Wii would show, for instance on Hulu, which programs you have already watched, Roku does not provide this information. And the other issue I have is short battery life in the remote. Otherwise, I am quite happy with my Roku stick.
I bought this to replace my PS3 which I was using exclusively for Netflix and Amazon. The Roku stick is painfully slow at loading the films themselves as well as the scrolling display of films, I have to wait for the blank spots to load the image of the films. The Playstation did this before I ever had the chance to think about it. The movies themselves take about 3 times longer to start playing. The remote is so touchy that if you so much as sneeze while it is on the couch beside you it will return to the home menu. I don't often find myself angry at a product but stop by my house any evening of the week and you will hear me cursing the thing to death.
Bought this as an inexpensive way to connect our bedroom TV. It works well, and we are Roku fans, but the performance is much slower than our larger Roku device. And so, it is good, but if I had it to do over again, I would probably opt for a second Roku.
I purchased my ROKU about three months ago and now it does not work. I get an error message that says something about the software. How can I fix this issue and use my ROKU again?
I bought a Roku Stick a month ago and am pretty frustrated with how slow it is in response time. I like Roku but not the Stick. Qm going to try and trade up to a Roku Box 2.
