Since I installed Roku, I have been using my time sitting in front of TV very appropriate to meet my needs. I was tired of commercials and was finding way to enjoying broadcast from my culture and only Roku helped me realize that. Thanks a lot Roku.
I got my roku for my living room. since I haven't slept in my bedroom so I had to go out and get one for the bedroom, ive had the one in my living room for a year and got rid of cable I save so much money and im a whole lot happier.
The Roku Streaming Stick offers a lot for its size and price - so much that I actually own several. It's also very nice that the Roku Stick can be powered via USB. However, I must state that the Roku Streaming Stick is laggy...and the lag can be very frustrating at times. If it was always immediately responsive the product would be perfect.
I bought this mainly to supplement the DVD account we have with Netflix. I can't say enough about how well it works. It provides access to all kinds of different venues.
I have been enjoying my Roku. Particularly the great programming in Gaiam TV. Unfortunately, the font describing each program requires standing two feet in front of the TV screen to read. That might be Gaiam's doing. I have yet to explore the rest of the channels.
Thanks to Roku, I do not miss cable at all. I have two Roku sticks and I'm planning on buying a third one for my TV in the kitchen. Its the best out there.
I have the Roku 1 and love it. I just purchased a new TV and thought to try the streaming stick. I have had it for a little over a month and so far it is just OK. It has stopped working 3 times, picture went to snow. I had to call in one time because it was just jumping and they had me put it into another HDMI spot. I have also had some issues with Netflix not loading on it. I know it's not Netflix, because my tv has apps and I can switch to the TV and it works fine. Not sure I would recommend the stick, but the regular Roku I would.
