Don't get us wrong, we love our roku stick, use it everyday. It has all the streaming apps we use and more!
Unfortunately we have gone through two roku sticks because of the remote. Before you say, "then change the batteries" we have done so a number of times. We still get this problem with the new one but not as frequently.
Like I said, we love our roku stick, just the remotes suck
You don't get to watch free lifetime or t.v. shows. I mostly just watch YouTube and Netflix. Only apps I pay for. Its great though. Beside not free t.v channels
I am giving the streaming stick 5 out of 5 stars because it has been a wonderful addition to my entertainment system. The truth is I can only afford internet and have a limited movie collection. I am able to use the streaming stick to enjoy television and movies through some other accounts that I have. It is easy to get the apps on the Roku and stream content in. I've been watching more television so I am sure that my electricity bill will be higher, but it has been worth it. Some mvid channels don't have apps available on Roku so the limit isn't with Roku but with the movie channels. But HBO Go is on it so I have been happy.
I can sometime have a hard time running a smart phone so i was a little worried about changing the way our family watches TV. I was able to connect everything myself and i learned how to move through all the great options with no problems! I have been able to convert my husband too. We love our Roku.
I have apple tv and the roku supports so much more. First of all it plays .mkv movies and tv shows, whereas the atv only mp4. The plex app organizes all my media on the computer where the plex server runs.
