I have two other Roku players a Roku 1 and 3. I have had no troubles with those. I plugged this into my HDMI port and it shorted out the port, I plugged it into another port, same television, and it did the same. I was powering it through the USB port on the television as directed in the instructions. Now 2 of the three HDMI ports on my television are not functional.
The streaming stick does not offer a web browser and does take a bit to react to the remote control and hangs up a bit. But overall for the price it is a very good product. Love Roku.
The Roku Streaming Stick has been working great. It's nice that it can be plug in the back of the TV with the power coming from the usb port of the TV. The only issue that I have with it is the remote. The remote for some reason needs to be reset quite often by removing and reinserting the batteries. If you use the Roku app on your smartphone, then you won't have that problem.
I wish I had bought this years ago. I can't say enough good things about Roku. Unlimited information is available to stream from the internet to your big screen. Example- Entertainment, Music, Health, Medical, News, Politics, Religion, Education, You Tube, etc. It has changed my TV viewing experience. I will always have a Roku Streaming Stick.
I bought this a couple of months ago. It worked at first and then it stopped. Thinking the batteries needed replacement I changed them. It worked again and then stopped. I am constantly having to move batteries around. I can't return it since it is over a month ago since I purchased it. When it works it is wonderful. The most recent problem is Netflix. It sometimes is very blurry to watch. This device is certainly a lot cheaper than to buy another TV. Any thoughts on the remote control?
