Happy, but...

This is our second Roku Streaming stick. We have an older version for another TV in our house and that one is still working wonderfully. We also have 2 Roku XDs as well, and are super happy with those. We love Roku and all it has to offer. The issue we are running into with this one is that the remote never stays synched with the player. It is quite frustrating to have to re-sync the remote every day. It could just be an issue with this specific remote, I have no idea, but will be hopefully getting it straightened out soon.
Plugged everything in correctly but it wouldn't work..changed batteries in remote still nothing..Re-booted it all...Think it was the remote..went back to the old box style before they are phased out.
I bought this to be able to stream my favorite apps like Netflix and Hulu and also Sling tv. It was really easy to install and set up! I am really happy I decided to buy the roku streaming stick!
I'm a cable cutter. I have not used cable for over a year now. I have a regular Roku 3, but wanted to move a TV downstairs so that I could watch Netflix while I walk on my treadmill. I was a little skeptical because I was told being some distance from my wireless it would have streaming/buffing issues. But, it works amazingly! Just as well as my Roku 3. I have watched movies and shows with no issues. I also love that it is portable. I've taken it to a friends house and streamed form her wireless as well!!
I have had the stick for over a year and I love it. The stick stopped working a one point and got hot. I uninstalled it and I had to reload everything and I have not had a problem since. I love net flicks.
