I had a few Roku sticks now and really loved using them, i purchased a new stick for downstairs and have no end of problems using the remote. Using the phone as a remote works great but using the normal remote is pointless at times. Press a button and nothing happens then it will sometimes do about 10 movements at once. I think it is because of a software update but not sure. In the past this would have been excellent but poor remote means only average.
My son has a regular Roku player in his room and we needed a new streaming device for our living room. Our WiFi Blu-Ray player wasn't cutting the mustard any longer. The Roku streaming stick was affordable, easy to install, and receives excellent reception from our router. Very happy with the purchase.
I bought this with the expectation that I could use it on a couple of TVs. It is easy to move from one TV set to another and works with my wireless system flawlessly.
