I got this roku for the wireless capability and I love it. I recently and didn't want wires all over my house and this handy little gadget came in handy and I love it.
I purchased the ROKU stick at a big box store and installed it without any problems. I am older and not technically savvy but it was a breeze to install and use.
The Stick itself is still very good. I have 3 roku devices , a Roku3 and a 2nd Roku stick. For some unknown reason they changed the remote. The center 4 direction button sticks badly. When i toggle thru menus i click once it sticks and just keeps going. i have to click the opposite direction to get it to stop. It sticks in all directions.
Although, I am happy I decided to get rid of cable, I find Roku an ok option. With streaming there is constant buffering even though I have very high speed internet. I'm debating if I should add the sports package. I don't want to watch a game and have the game stop due to buffering.
Bought this to allow streaming to the Bedroom TV. Works great with no signal loss. I had to order the HDMI extender, but ROKU was great about sending it to me for free.
