I can watch shows that I missed after coming home from work. I can easily transport it from room to room. I can also take it on vacation. I can't imagine my life without roku now.
I purchased this for my older parents to stream Netflix and the remote control would constantly freeze. I would have to take the batteries out and put them back in for it to work, only to freeze up again! I downloaded the remote app for their cell phone, so far, it seems to be working. It was really frustrating for them to deal with this problem, hopefully, the app will solve the problem. Time will tell.
We love our Roku. Setting it up and keeping the remote and television communicating took some work. Make absolutely sure, particularly on older T.V. that the Roku stick is securely in the port. Also, communication can be slow-don't keep pushing buttons, let it do it's thing. But once it's working it means more content choices than you will ever need; and access to great programming. For us, it means getting BBC television series and Netflix classic movies and documentaries that you just can't get on U.S. network or cable.
I bought this about a month ago, this device is amazing! I had a little trouble with the remote, it kept freezing, but after contacting customer service, they sent me a new one!
This is my second Roku stick, I just love them. Took one on vacation and had instant access to Netflix and Amazon Prime, great for the rainy days. No issues or problems, set up is so simple.
