Hooking up the Stick was unbelievably easy. Had some problems with remote-called customer service,cut off after 20 minutes! Called again & was told to unplug,replug the stick.So far seems OK.
We cut the cord on cable and are now using an outdoor antenna and a roku on every tv. Using box in living room and sticks in bedrooms. Now I can watch Netflix in bed! Greatest benefits are access to Netflix, Hulu, YouTube and Sling TV. Plenty of content, do not miss pitifully weak cable signal and accompanying overpriced bill. Better than other sticks as far as variety of content and value. I thought about Amazon stick to get their programming but it's too limiting. You don't need it anyway, just add the Amazon app to your roku. It's the best of both worlds.
Roku has a lot of add-ons it's great and you can do a lot with it. But my remote was always irresponsive and I always had to be swapping the batteries. Even with new batteries. Now it doesn't work and I have to use my phone which sucks.
I bought this for a TV in my bedroom that is NOT hooked up to cable or satellite or an antenna. It streams better and faster than the Smart TV I have in my living room. Easy set-up. Easy to use.
