We were given this as a gift, and soon discovered that the remote would not stay synched to the stick. We were constantly unplugging, removing batteries, etc. to the point where we just purchased a Roku 2 instead.
I have had my streaming stick for over a year now and I reset it constantly it freezes up. Just recently it also started doing the same thing but just hitting the reset button didn't work I have to completely re-register it and enter all the pass-codes. I would say if you want to purchase one expect to have to get a new one once it starts acting up.
I love the Roku streaming stick. It is slim, easy to set up and oh so portable! I can use it on any of my TV's, computer and no worries getting it to work.
This was the first purchase of a Roku stick. I have owned many Roku devices and currently have three Roku 3's. This is the first stick. I works much the same as all my Roku 3's except for the remote. It is cheap and doesn't have enough range. It might be ok for some of you but it's not of the same feel as the great remote you find on the 2 and 3. If you want something portable the stick might be a great alternative. However my future purchases and recommendation will be to pay the extra $$$ and go for the Roku 3.
I have a ROKU2 which I keep in Florida, well accidentally left in Florida when I returned to NJ. It was delightful to find out that ROKU had packed all of the performance of its other ROKU devices into a budget-friendly high performance package known a the ROKU Streaming Stick. Thanks for being so customer friendly.
I recently purchased a Roku streaming stick for my TV in the bedroom. I was a bit reluctant at first, as I already have a Google chromecast dongle and Apple TV on my TV's. So I really did not need another streaming device. Plus I already own a Roku 3 for my living room (where most of my viewing is). With that said,the Roku streaming stick works wonderfully and it offers all the same apps and choices as the more expensive Roku 3. The only downside to the streaming stick is a slight lag in connectivity speed. Nothing really noticeable, and it would not prevent me from buying another Roku streaming stick. The device works great. The only thing I wish all of the Roku devices had was a glow in the dark remote control. That would be very very helpful. Otherwise I am very satisfied with my Roku streaming stick. I would definitely recommend this to anybody who is looking for a reliable streaming device.
