I bought the roku stick and have been very happy with it. We wanted to cut back on the bills and it did just that by 1/2. The only thing I wish is it offered individual channel purchases like I would love to get just the sec network channel without having to pay for other channels to I don't mind to pay for the sec network but hate to have to subscribe to others to too just get what I want.
Had trouble connecting to the internet . Getting my password connected with the roku stick was a problem as the stick was very hard to control in getting the correct password
would be great with the exception the remote control that you have to re-program a few times a week,,,sometimes more. But I love how the system works otherwise and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to save a ton on cable bills.
I received this as a freebie when signing up for SlingTV. My goal was to replace my Xbox360 as a media center, and this definitely does the trick. We mostly use it for Netflix, Plex (locally stored media), YouTube, and SlingTV. It does all of these things beautifully.
My only gripe is the remote lag within apps. it is about as responsive as the built in apps on my Vizio M-series TV. I fully understand that this is a hardware issue. I have already purchased a Roku 3 to replace it and will be gifting the Stick to a family member.
Overall, I love the Roku platform! I have put my Xbox360 in storage since I don't game anymore. Now I'm just waiting on HBO Now to come available on Roku. :)
I ordered Roku enticed by getting a free Streaming Stick by prepaid offer and has been wonderful television and great choice for one low price many great choices for viewing pleasure
