I bought this for my granddaughters, I am disappointed with the remote function, it locks up, and I have to remove the battery to reset the remote .

Pretty Good for a "Stick"

This would get 5 stars, but I have a roku 3, and compared to the roku 3 which is a 5 star+ this is slightly less. Feature and functionality is great. A Little slow.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have had this for a couple months now and it is my favorite way to watch tv. The best part is it's portable so I can bring shows to my friends house haha

The stick works great! Remote goes to sleep.

I have owned my Roku stick for a couple of months now. Technically, it works great in the fact that it was easy to set up and connect to my network. I had no problems with adding channels either via the Roku stick or the web site. Great product for streaming. I do need to upgrade my wifi router to a N300 or better, for better results.
The only issue I have consistently had is with the remote. The remote is RF, not IF, for info. My TV is only 10 feet away from where I use the remote. The remote tends to go to sleep...sometimes immediately, sometimes after several minutes. It will not wake up again unless I pop one of the batteries out and put it back in. A little annoying.
I will also say that streaming channels are not yet a full substitute for satellite or cable, but there is a LOT of content to be found. If you are new to streaming channels, you will find there are good ones, great ones, and not so good ones. The commercially-backed channels typically will ask you to set up an account for access, but their content & quality are typically better than community channels. However, some community channels will have content not found on others...such as REALLY old movies, really "B" type movies, oddball shows, home-grown cartoons, and many one-of's. If you like Anime, then the Roku is definitely worth the price just for those channels alone.
All-in-all, I am happy with my Roku. I would give it 5 stars if I could have used my Roku to completely ditch my satellite bill!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great cost. Decent channel availability. Tiny - which is great for staying out of the way on our mounted TV.
I would recommend this to a friend!
