Works Great, Easy to install and Simple to use

Bought my Roku Stick about a month age. Really wish I had gotten it sooner.
I never thought I would be able to stream movies because I have the slowest speed that my Provider offers. The picture is clear and there is hardly any buffering. I originally bought the Fire Stick. Not sure if the Stick was bad when purchased, but I never DID get it to work. Upon returning it to the store, I decided the Roku was the better choice. It gives many more options of channels to watch. Now there is always something on TV that I can watch, when the networks have nothing.
This is a MUST BUY......

When I moved last month, I just kept my basic cable and started using Roku and so glad I did. Although miss watching my reality shows (Housewives and Major Crimes on TNT), I like the limited commercials and being able to watch some old favorites and shows from the beginning.

a decent system

purchased from a local supermarket who then reduced prices the next week! Nevermind, the stick is a good system and does everything I need it to. It was really easy to set up and use - mainly netflix for me - only negative thing is that occasionally I have to take a battery out of the control and re-insert it as this sometimes locks up. No big deal once you know what is going on. I set this up in my conservatory and had to purchase a wifi booster for it to work.

Too many problems with this streaming stick versus the Roku box. Mine broke, so I had to buy a new one. The stick seemed like a good option, but the remote doesn't always register with the stick. I'm not sure if it's because it's behind the tv, but it's supposed to work wherever the remote is pointed. I'm quite disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have had this about two months and do not use it much because it locks up and the remote does not work all the time.

Great Option Instead of Cable

I bought this about a month ago to save money and "cut the cord". I'm still learning how to use it. While I like some features I am finding that most things are on subscriptions, and it seems to take awhile to find something to watch.
