Great Streaming Device

I bought the Roku streaming stick because my daughter took the old Roku with her to college. I LOVE it even more! Gets all the same streaming channels, but fits directly in the side of the TV, so no box to fool with. I also got the plug in for the USB port which eliminated the cord going to the electrical outlet. Very compact and convenient! I have the Apple TV, the Amazon Fire stick and the Roku, which all three are good. Did not care as much for the Google Chrome because it doesn't have a remote, and works on the app on your phone or iPad. I just prefer having a separate remote myself because using phone or iPad takes up extra memory that I don't have.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased in march and have had problems with the remote from the start. I went through many batteries and then it just quit working after about 3 months. I was happy with purchase other than this problem. It is now unusable because remote does not work.

Not the greatest.

It just keeps freezing up. If I take the batteries out and put them right back in, it works fine. But the next time I try to use it, I have to go through the same thing.. I have tried different batteries with the same results.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Will buffer frequently if not close enough to WIFI

Already had Amazon Fire TV stick, and wanted Roku stick because it offers a different channel/app lineup. While the Fire Stick worked well with my hi-speed internet and WIFI router regardless where I put it in my home, I had to get a WIFI signal booster for the Roku stick - without an EXCELLENT WIFI signal, the Roku stick buffered FREQUENTLY and was so frustrating that I stopped using it until the signal booster was in place.

The Clarity is Amazing - True HD and Full, Rich So

We had already been using our Roku 3 for about a year when we decided to purchase the Streaming Stick about 6 weeks ago, because it was so much cheaper and my sister had been using one for about a month with good results. Well, we are perfectly satisfied with the Stick and see no difference in performance from the model 3. For those not familiar with the Roku, I had been concerned before buying my first one that the picture would be a standard definition, but the quality is outstanding - impossible to differentiate from our cable TV.
Further, you can connect your sound through a home theater system easily with the addition of a splitter (e.g., J-Tech Digital JTDAT5CH). This takes the HDMI output from the Roku, providing a separate stereo sound output on RCA jacks which can be sent to your sound system, while the HD video is passed through to the TV.
In summary, the Roku is an outstanding system - simple to set up and works like a charm - our WiFi is only basic [5 mbps] and it works fine.
