I have already had 5 other Roku's and I loved them all I started with a Roku LT Then went to a Roku HD, I liked those so much that I bought 2 Roku 1s and gave my old ones to family members . After awhile I decided to invest in a Roku 3. I like that one for the games and remote. .I received my Roku stick for signing up for 3 months of Sling TV. I decided to replace the Roku 1 in my room so I wouldn't have to point the remote straight at the Roku to change the channels. I canceled my cable 3 years ago and with an antenna, Amazon Prime, Sling TV and Play On (computer program that has MORE channels and allows you to Access your movies, pictures and music from your PC) I can see anything I could ever want.
We purchased the stick recently and use it almost everyday. Lots of choices from family to kid shows and much much more. The only drawback we have found is that that remote signal sticks a lot and we have to remove the batteries to "reset" it. That is a pain but still worth it all in all!
I have used my Roku for about a month and it would not pick up my wifi. So I went to the settings menu and selected "factory settings". Now I can't access anything.
The offerings on the TV though, IMO, leave a little bit to be desired. Especially the channels that appeal to me, and, quite frankly, most channels are not worth watching, the channels I subscribe to (60 of them) are so full of commercials ( most of them ) that they aren't fit to watch, so I don't look at them very much.. The only thing I watch with any consistency is You Tube and I didn't need a ROKU for that, my DVD player has internet to my TV. So, It's a nice product but I am disappointed in the execution. In other words, I'm not going to use this as a means to cut the cable.
