Not many great movies or tv shows to pick from.

I'm kind of disappointed at the movies and tv shows that are available. So far the only thing I've really enjoyed are the Kathy Griffin stand up specials.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Roku Features, Horrible Wi-Fi Remote!!

Hello, I have been using various Roku's over the last quite a few years (we dumped cable and sat. tv a long time ago). I think the ROKU platform is GREAT as a cable alternative. My wife and I currently have one ROKU HD box, ROKU LT box and the ROKU streaming stick. When we had a ROKU HD box go bad a while back we thought we would go with the ROKU streaming stick (HDMI version). I think the ROKU stick is far better than the previous generations except the wi-fi remote. It would lose signal so often, and have to be reset by taking the batteries out and then put back in. When it did work there was a huge lag when you pushed buttons to when the stick received the commands. There is a very good way around using the wi-fi remote if you have a smartphone or tablet, go to your store to download apps and download the ROKU app (it's completely free). You will be able to use this to control the stick very nicely. To sum it up the ROKU stick is very good and a great value, just don't plan on using the included remote (mine is packed away in the closet safe and sound). Thanks for reading!!

I bought this as a second Roku for the bed room. I have found it to work as well as the hamburger sized Roku. Only problem I have found is the power card isn't secure enough at the unit end and will lose it's connection. This causes the Roku to cut off. Not a big problem as plugging it back in securely does the trick and Roku is working again.

I purchased my Roku streaming stick about a month ago and love it. The only problem I have is with the remote - for some reason it doesn't always read and I have to take the batteries out and put them back in and then it works.

Pretty good for the money

We recently upgraded from a classic Roku to a streaming stick so we could stream PBS. I don't like the interface as well as the old one--it's not as intuitive and is harder to navigate. However, I very much like that now I can see captions when I need to. And I like that it's on the back of the TV so I have a clearer line-of-"sight" for the remote. We don't take much advantage of all the channels, but there appear to be lots of them. It's certainly easy enough to plug in and set up. Since we installed the new Roku we are having some problems with our DVR sometimes not displaying on the TV. We haven't been able to determine the source of the problem and whether or not it's the Roku. But with some tinkering we have been able to get the picture and sound back.

I love see movies with netflix and others channels but I have problems with my TV then one friend tell me that I need a Roku system and I take the desicion to buy one, that was the best desicion I have a lot of channels and I can see anything in any momento when I want. It is very easy to use and install.
Roku changed my life and my shape to see the TV only I have a big problem with the control remote because when I use them the battery put very hot and fail the battery It stopped working in two days and I put again battery but It is the same thing. I downloaded the app to my phone and all fine but no need that I prefer the remote control It is a shame that not function good.
I would recommend this to a friend!
