I love my Roku 3! But with that said I have been very unhappy with my Roku Stick that I just got. It always says that I have a poor intranet connection even if it is right beside the wifi. The way that it has to be plugged in at the bottom of the stick makes it to long to use for my bedroom tv. I asked a forum about the connection issues and they said that it is a common issue for the stick and that sometimes it helps if you unplug it and let it cool down. I tried it and it didn't help. I am going to take it to my sisters and see if she can use it. If not I will return it and get another Roku 3.
I bought the stick and Roku 2 each for their own TV about a month ago and the ease of use is wonderful. I previously had a Blu-ray player for streaming and it was rater cumbersome. Roku is fast and very east to install.
I got one of these units for my birthday. The service is great, there are lots of channel options and the picture and sound quality are fantastic. The remote is another story. I'm not sure whether it's just sticky buttons or something not reading correctly between the remote and the unit. It frequently takes off and starts going through all the channels after pushing over once.
This is the second roku we've got and not as happy with this one as the first. The remote itself seems to be somewhat defective as it will freeze up and batteries must be removed and re inserted to unfreeze and continue with selection.
