I bought my Roku stick about a month ago and it's been great. I love the apps that it comes with and the fact that it's so small. I looked at the reviews before I bought it and they helped me a lot to decide if I wanted to buy it. If you don't really want cable then I would get this. I moved to an apartment and didn't wanna pay for cable and this is a great alternative.
This is my second ROKU I want one on every TV. My husband and I are over sixty five and not very techno. So if we can install and use anyone can. I love that we control what comes on our tv!
Awesome! My kids and I love it. The remote control sucks because it doesn't works alot and always freezing but who cares when every smartphone and ipad can control it with the roku remote app that works flawlessly. Roku by far is a must have!!!
I have purchased two roku sticks and, while the options available are great, the remotes fail quickly. The last roku remote failed one day later and I had to return the unit. I dislike that there is no off position so Ihave to continually power the stick or unplug it - terrible waste of energy.
Connection problems if router more than 3 - 4 yards away, another floor, etc. Had to put router withing two yards of the stick. If TV is blocking stick from the signal, it's even worse. Remote seems to be slow in the beginning, won't work until you push buttons a few times; although, Roku screen is already on the home page long time ago. Stick is always on and doesn't seem to time out when TV is off. I see channel connected when I turn TV the next day - problem if your internet provider counts your data - wasted bandwidth. No such problems with Roku 3 device, though.
