Great Features!

I have a lake home with satellite TV (DirectTV) and was limited in using the smart TV features on my TV and/or my DVD player. The ROKU was the perfect solution. It allows me to access my Netflix and Amazon streaming with ease, and also gives me easy access to my various cable "on the go" services like HBOGO and SHOWTIME ON THE GO, etc. Great investment at a very reasonable price.
I would recommend this to a friend!

When I first got my ROKU, it could not 'find' the WIFI connection ( which is in my landlords house, about 100 feet away). I went and bought an electronic thing to plug in to one of my outlets (closer to the WIFI source) to pick up the signal and it connected beautifully!. Since that time, I've had to have several stern 'talking to's' because more often than not, I end up staying up way too late watching all the GREAT free channels I have access to. No more horrible commercials! No more big cable bill! Now I'm trying to talk my landlord into getting one. It's GREAT!!!

Well worth the price. Since I already had cable internet, only needed to buy a wireless router to complete setup.

Huge Disappointment!

I bought this a month ago and it is nothing like my older Roku 2 XD. First of all, when the unit is idle for several hours I have to remove and re-install the batteries in the remote in order to make the remote work again. At first I thought I had faulty or discharged batteries but this is not the case. Secondly, my wife is hard of hearing and we must have closed captioning. Whenever I start streaming a movie or program the closed captioning will not work. To make the closed captioning work I have to stop and then restart the program or movie and then the closed captioning will appear. Also, the Roku 2 XD displays all of the dialog content in the closed captioning whereas the Roku Streaming Stick only captures and displays a portion of the dialog.
In conclusion: I wish I could get my money back on this purchase. This product, to me, is a huge disappointment and we not purchase Roku products in the future.

Almost all the benefits of the ROKU player in a smaller package. Perfect for weekend getaways and business trips.

It is fairly easy to use. I wish it allowed me to delegate what the 4 buttons on the bottom are for. I use netflix amazon and hulu. But the quick keys have two that I do not use.
I would recommend this to a friend!
