We ordered the Roku stick last month. Fast shipping very nicely packaged. Unboxed it, plug into HDMI port, use supplied power cable as needed. Go thru initial settings log into your wifi and boom you are pretty much set. Add your channels netflix, hulu, youtube, slingtv etc etc...get the popcorn you good to go! Kids are happy and spouse loves you cause you "done good"...sit back and smile!!!
Everything works just like my regular Roku players. Only complaint is that there seems to be a lag in between when I press a button on the remote and when it changes on the screen.
I bought this over a month ago and I don't like it. It takes forever to load Hulu/Netflix, stops and goes back to home screen in the middle of watching a show and the remote always gives me problems. It is easy to use, but doesn't work. I will not buy another Roku device ever again.
I was so excited to get this Roku stick, but I wish now I'd paid a little more and gotten the bigger model. The stick is big and sticks out in a way that (I think) causes it to wobble and disconnect. Sometimes I'll be in the middle of watching something and maybe the wind blows through the room and POOF: suddenly the Roku disconnects and has to reboot. It will do this for several minutes before finally calming down. Sheesh.
