I am not a techie - I don't need to have the latest version of anything - so I was like - I will try the Roku - I had been wanting to try streaming for awhile and thought the time was right - I did a bunch of research on line and finally decided I was going to do it! I thought I was going to have to call in back up to help me get it all set up, but I have to tell you - it was super easy - the only thing I would say that would have made my experience better is more detailed instructions on how to use the remote - I know that seems like a pretty basic thing, but for some reason that was the one thing I had trouble with.
i own roku sick also i own roku 3. performance wise roku 3 faster and has headphone option for user wich is very useful in every day use. stick more transportable for laptop use .
Works very well on a 5ghz network. Love it! Remote occasionally doesnt work as well as Roku 2 probably just because the stick is behind the TV and has a little interference but it doesnt hinder be from doing what I want to do.
I bought a refurbished Chromecast first that died shortly after my first streaming experience and the act of getting it replaced because it no longer broadcasted its SSID in order to configure it was painful. I had to get angry in order to escalate the issue to someone that could understand that it wasn't my router preventing the Chromecast device from broadcasting after factory resetting the device. So while I waited for my replacement I purchased my Roku. What a difference. So much easier to use and configure. I love having the remote to control it rather than relying on my PC. I recommend the Roku. Love it!
