I love that the roku is a simple stick, was easy to install and easy to set up. But what I dislike is that I can't get my remote to work. At first ( 1st day it worked ok) now it doesn't work at all. Thank goodness for the roku remote app! Cause this is the only way I can control it, which can get kinda of annoying. Especially when I have to switch back and forth from app n back to what I was doing. Thing is my daughter bought one the same day I did and she had the same remote issues. So this is my review, if remote worked I'd give it 5 stars!!
Bought this to use on bedroom wall mounted tv with no convenient place for a ROKU set top box. The "ROKU STICK" performs the same as my set-top ROKU 2 XD! Plugging it directly into the TV is great!
I was a die hard fan of Apple TV, for many years. I was given a Roku stick to try and at first I thought it would just be installed and removed, but then I began to see the same programs as Apple TV, such as Netflix, and moreover, I could even develop and build my own channels, etc. The remote works great, even around corners and the ease of using this device or transporting when traveling is perfect for those who like to take their channels with them.
