I bought the Streaming Stick after I moved out of parents house, where they had the Roku 2. I like that the unit is hidden from sight and that the remote doesn't have to have to be directly pointed at the unit. This being said, there is a bit of a delay with button commands at times. But if you're somewhat patient, it's not big deal. I personally like the layouts of channels (such as Netflix) on the Roku 2 than the Streaming Stick. All-in-all, I am happy with my purchase!
I got this about a month ago. Others failed a few days later. Very dependable. Offers as it says, almost endless options of pay and free TV and movie options.
Small but mighty! This is my second Roku product. I have a Roku 2 in my living room and was skeptical about paying the same price for one in my TV in my bedroom. Works the same!! I see some people have problems with it overheating. I never have. Cancel that cable already! Don't hesitate!
