Frustrating

I bought 2 sticks at once, one for my sister, one for me. My sister has no problems and I have no problems with my Roku box (previously purchased).
For some reason, my Roku stick rarely works. It continuously displays as being unconnected to a network and takes about 20 minutes to get it reconnected. Once I am connected, and I am watching a program, the program "buffers" several times. More often then not I just switch to regular satellite and forget about watching with Roku.
I would still recommend Roku but I am not sure about the stick.

We have a Vizio smart TV and a Vizio that isn't. With the Roku Stick plugged into the standard Vizio, it is better than the reception of the smart TV. Not sure why, but we are considering another Stick for the smart TV to improve reception. We just would like some type of power control for the Stick as the older Vizio doesn't have a USB connection. So we have to unplug the Stick from the wall after use or it eats up the batteries in the remote. Other than that, no complaints.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Am happy but surprised I have to have it close to my WiFi connection for it to work. Had it initially in den in basement but it had trouble to consistently connect. Moved it upstairs closer to WiFi connection and have not had a problem since.

A great alternative to a smart TV

This was a great alternative to replacing my flat screen with a Smartv. My children can watch Netflix now amongst a lot of other channels and can still stteam movies from the cell phone to the tv using the Roku stick. It has been a great investment.
I would recommend this to a friend!
