Purchased the stick for use in a guest bedroom in our home. We have a Roku 2 on our family room television. I find the same access with both and we are satisfied with the sticks performance. It appears to be a bit slower in getting the options up and available, however once loaded there appears to be no difference in production quality.
We have 2 Roku boxes, they function fine. The stick has to be reset and reconfigured if it isn't used daily. Loses wifi connection even though it is within 8 ft of the router.
I recently bought this roku stick and I am very happy with it. I didnt have any way to watch netflix or hulu and I couldnt afford a ps4 or xbox and I didnt have enough for a wifi player so I found this device and it was only 35 dollars I thought maybe for that cheap it wouldn't be that great. It was very easy to set it up on my tv and I just love it. Its a great option for people who cant afford an expensive device but who still want to watch netflix hulu and other stuff. I really like it snd it has a lot of great channels including free ones that I really like. I am very happy I spent my money on it and would recommend it for sure.
I love the variety available for streaming. It's a bit wider than an normal HDMI plug so I had to adjust some. Make sure you have a little space on the sides to get plugged in.
In general this is worth the cost and adds to my menu of entertainment. I have not had cable or satelite TV in over 5 yrs. However, it does hang up and I have to unplug and restart is periodically.
