Cord cutters essential!!

I already own 2 streaming sticks but needed another one. As usual the Roku streaming stick worked like a charm. I use mine primarily for Plex streaming from my laptop to my big screen. The stick handles full 1080P HD with digital sound which is terrific.
I also have two Apple TVs which are also great units except that AirPlay streaming is really "spotty" and I just got tired of messing with it. The Roku works much better for my needs. One complaint: The new stick comes with a really cheap remote control. This thing only works sporadically which is annoying. So I just got the Roku remote app for my phone which works like a dream.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I Bought this device two months ago. User Interface is vary Good. Lots of application to watch TV Contents. But Remote Response is vary Poor. You have to remove the battery each time for remote to be working. You can't play a game in Roku Stick.Otherwise all other features are good..
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hard to get started.

I worried over this for two weeks trying to get something--anything to work. I read all of the details and still had a hard time. I finally found a phone number, and called. The lady from Vermont was wonderful. I explained that I was totally inept at technology. She walked me through the installation, helped me to change batteries and was very knowledgeable. Why did the batteries burn out so soon? Why are there not explicit instructions to set this up. "Plug in and your are set didn't work for me. I would buy this again and the very first thing that I would do is call and get some help, instead of trying to do it myself.

I have a Roku 2 on another TV and decided on the Roku stick this time because I wanted to cut down on all of the cords. My only complaint is that it is sometimes slow to respond to the remote. I thought I would need to purchase a separate cord to plug it into my TV's USB port, but the one that comes with it will work for that so don't make a separate purchase.

Has to be reset constantly!

From day one, I've had nothing but problems with my TV freezing on the Roku home screen and each time I called customer service was informed I had to unplug the Roku, take out the batteries from the remote and this would reset itself. I was also informed this is not normal but I've heard others having the same problem. Cool concept but frustrating to deal with.

After buying an Apple TV and being very disappointed I opted for the roku stick. So many apps and always works great. And for less than half the money!
