I bought my Roku mainly to pick up Sky Atlantic and ITV Encore via Now TV, which are missing from the Virgin Media line up of channels at present.
I found it extremely easy to install and it provides me with what I wanted, plus a lot more. I would highly recommend the Roku streaming stick - it does what it says on the can!
I was paying so much money just to watch tv until my daughter told me about Roku. I didn't hesitate to invest in the one time fee as it was less than 1 cable payment. I've been completely satisfied with my Roku & wouldn't give it up for anything.
I find the remote difficult to use, including the directions to get it working again, that is hold down home button and down arrow while simultaneously holding down that teeny tiny black pairing button is almost an impossible task! Then unplugging the power just adds to the difficulty!
Although the the menu operation lags a little bit on the Roku Stresming Stick, compared to the Roku 3, it is well worth it if you are wall mounting the tv and don't want visible cables
