I'm not electrically inclined but the Roku stick was very easy to set up and operate. I bought it to stream Netflix. With the on screen instructions it made my set up very easy
try another brand or a more expensive model..it works literally about half the time. I even returned my first one thinking it was defective and the replacement is just as crummy . Freezes up, won't load Netflix, won't respond to remote . I've changed batteries, changed power source but it's still not reliable.
The stick is much more convenient than hooking up a computer or gaming console to watch Netflix. However, the remote control doesn't have a turn off key nor does it work to change channels or get to the home page. Price is good.
I have used many streaming devices like the Google Chromcast, Apple tv, Sony ps3 Xbox 360 but the Roku stick beats them all. The only thing that I would improve is the processing speed. There is nothing in the price range that even comes close to the Roku stick. I like it so much much that I am going to order the new Roku 3 with voice command just for the faster processing.
