when it works it is great!!! Not sure if there is something wrong with it or what but every other time I use it I need to rest it and also reset the controller.
I bought this devise in order to watch Netflix streaming. Initial setup was not as easy as advertised. The remote, which must work for setup, had to have the batteries changed three times before I could complete the setup. Directions and trouble shooting, even online, are minimal. It works now but I only watch Netflix so I can't speak to the other options included with the devise. I use the Pandora option but have to sign in every time; it's easier to use the PC or other electronic devise for Pandora.
I bought Roku streaming stick 4 months ago and loved it so much I bought 4 more streaming sticks and a Roku 3!!! Roku 3 is awesome because I can watch tv in bed while my husband sleeps by using the ear plugs that plug into remote!!! Roku is so easy my 5 year old uses it. He presses Netflix on the remote and he goes to his kid shows! I don't pay for cable service anymore. I use my parents email login for their cable service and I can use all the apps!
We went through 2 Roku sticks and we had the same issue with both. For whatever reason the batteries had to be adjusted to communicate with the stick...and even then it worked only 10% of the time. Very unhappy with the product.
I've had it for a while now and thought it would be difficult for someone who is as technically challenged as me to set it up. But I was pleasantly surprised. I just love it and I carry it with me when visiting family and friends.
