No regrets with this purchase,it works well. I also have a roku 2 which has a more advanced remote. I use the stick on the TV closest to my router. It seems that the roku 2 picks up wifi from further distance better than the stick. Also recently discovered that an app allows a cell phone to be used as a remote,which is nice because the kids always misplace the small roku remote so I just put it away and use cell phone. Can also cast smartphone pictures to tv through the roku app.
I really liked it at first, but only after a couple of weeks the remote won't stay connected to the stick. So I have to change batteries alot or reset the stick which takes time. Still like having it but it has almost become more trouble than it's worth. My son has the Roku one which I have no trouble with, the only thing is that he sick has the feature on Netflix to switch profiles for kids. So other than the remote issue we are having, it's great!
I/we are so happy to be a part of the Roku experience! This device is second to none as far as I am concerned. My family and I have a Roku in every room of our house. We could not have the same TV streaming experience without it. All of my TV's are smart TV's and since we started using the Roku devices we have not had any need, ever to us the smart features of our TV's any longer.
