Good features seems underpowered

I bought this as my Amazon prime video doesn't work on Apple TV. This was intended to be a replacement for my Apple TV but sadly it is lacking in some areas and was returned. It does have a lot of channels as advertised. About 200 might be useful to the average user. The first problem I had was with the netflix ui. It doesn't have sub categories unlike the website versions and Apple TV. So if I want to just see all standup acts on Netflix I have to wade through all of comedy. Apple TV lets me just see all stand ups. The second problem was the deal breaker and the UI sticks constantly remote control or smart phone app. It just stops responding. The Apple TV I have is 3 years old and never sticks like this. For now I am just using my phone to mirror Amazon prime and don't miss anything else.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good Deal compare to paying high cable bills.

This is a good deal compare to having to deal with cable and satelite companies and their high prices. There are plenty of shows to watch, plus plenty of shows that we never heard of and we enjoyed so much. The only down side is sometimes the loading of the show can be slow and it may stop your show in the middle to load, but you can expect that when dealing with the internet. Last thing, is the remote sometimes it don't want to work. We change the remote 2 times and still the same problem. It will stop working and you have to take out the battery and put it back and it will start working again. I don't understand why but that's just what we have to do.

I bought the Roku stick a month ago to use it at the TV in my bedroom. This is the first time I came across this kind of product and had never use it or the same thing before. I just put it at one of the HDMI input and follow the onscreen instruction and that's it. I get what I want and I pay for. Roku customer service is good and sent me the HDMI extension for free. Good product with good price.

This is such a great alternative to paying high cable bills for tv... I think you have better programing with Roku than any cable offering...cannot beat the price or picture quality...I recommend this to all who want to cut costs and still enjoy great tv.....

Love the people friendliness of the Roku. Only have one concern. It gets very hot when using. Don't know if this is suppose to happen or not. I am concerned it might catch fire.

this is my first roku stick. I have had blu-rays, cable, satellite, you name it. When I initially put it on, the quality of the preview shows are incredible. The pictures are so clear and the explanation of what it is about is short, which is nice so I don't read a novel, and clear. It will tell me right away if I want to watch it or not.
I highly recommend this product.
