I bought the roku stick a month ago and the remote don't work took it back bought another one and the remote don't work still I have to used my iPhone in order to used the stick
I bought the Roku player in anticipation of having a temporary second household. I hooked it up to a non-smart tv and added all the apps of channels I normally watch. Roku made it easy to login to those apps to declare my cable provider at home. Roku also made it easy to connect to the wifi even those that require additional login information. There is a phone app and easy to use!
We were hoping to save money by cutting back on our monthly TV bill. I bought the Roku and downsized our TV service to the bare bones. Love it. Very simple to install, and use. I will be buying one for the other rooms in my house.
I brought this item and liked it so much I went and got another one. Works great for me. I now have three and can watch moves from one room to another. Thanks.
