Lots of Apps for media content, but sometimes lags

The Roku stick was purchased with the intentions of streaming the CBS All Access App that only appears to be available with Roku or Google Chromecast. I also have a Smart TV and an Amazon Fire Stick so I am already familiar with streaming devices. The Roku stick does appear to have all the major streaming apps that one would want, i. e. Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, YouTube, etc. The set up was pretty easy, have only had a problem a couple times losing the WiFi signal but was quick to be able to reconnect it. The major problem that I have experienced with it that keeps me from giving it 5 stars is that fact that it seems to get stuck sometimes and I'm not sure if it is a problem with the stick itself or the remote. When you push buttons on the remote there is no indication that the command has been accepted, no sound, no vibration, no visible lights. That is not necessarily a problem, but when I push buttons on the remote sometimes, especially if the TV has just been turned on to use the Roku stick I have had a actually take the batteries out and re-insert them in the remote to get the remote to "wake up" and start to function.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Roku Stick is a winner.

Wonderful little device. As an owner of a Roku 3 in the living room...we bought this Stick for the bedroom. The ONLY drawback is processor speed/power. Menus can have a small delay at times and it will not load channels as fast as the Roku 3.
As far as playback it is flawless and works as well and other Roku products.

Did not work.

We already have a regular Roku and it works great. Decided to try the stick to save a little money on a second device. The stick didn't work at all, so we returned it and got a second regular Roku box.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A friend recommended the Roku stick to me a month ago. Shamefully, I have found myself binge watching my favorite show series. Fortunately, there's still live programming. My only problem is that my remote freezes after several clicks and I have to remove a battery and reset it to unfreeze it. This is very frustrating.

Out of Sight

Just amazing, out of sight works and works. Just what you want a device to do. Great Wi-Fi reception, channel selection and now even Showtime. Gee think they are wired in to everyones pulse and needs. The sticks just rule, even took it to my neighbors to watch show on his huge plasma to see if I wanted the last of the plasmas or an LED. Performed flawlessly after WI-Fi changed. Portable, flexible and small. Runs a little warm but just works and works. Great deal for the cable-cutter crowd. And now Roku Ready TV's everywhere.

I have am a devote consumer and fan of Roku, since my very first Roku XD in 2013. The Roku Streaming Stick is the quintessential big things come in small packages.
