I had to send mine back for an exchange on a new one because the remote stopped working within 6 months and I couldn't get the mobile app remote to work either. I now have a new one and I'm starting to have the same problems with the remote as the first one, sometimes it just doesn't respond and then when it starts to respond it just starts scrolling through everything and I can't make it stop unless I press the home or back button. The only problem I have with this product is the remote, other than that there is a lot of content available and they have good customer service.
The Roku stick performed as expected but the first remote was defective and I had difficulty getting a replacement. When I finally did, the system performed well.
I bought this a little over a month ago and I am so glad I did.The Roku fixed our issue of wanting to watch Netflix in our bedroom(non smart tv).Would be better if I didn't have charter as my cable provider because all the streaming channels like lifetime and A&E will not work because charter isn't listed under the provider list.Needless to say it fixed our problem:)
I have thoroughly enjoyed my earlier Roku and having a new tv decided to get the stick. I am finding switching my channels very difficult and frustrating. Maybe I am missing something on how to do it, but it should be easier.
I got the stick for my birthday. It works so simply and the picture is so incredible clear. I have a smart tv and would use the computer in the tv to watch streaming video. But the picture was always unsatisfactory. The Roku stick picture is super clear and wonderful. I am still learning about all the channels on Roku. There is more TV on here than a guy could ever watch. The other nice thing about Roku stick is that there is so much free tv. I am from an era where TV was free. While there are so many pay tv places I can pick and choose what I want to see there are so many free options that I am never at a loss of hat to watch. The only downside of the stick is that there is no place to plug in headphones to the remote.
