Just what I needed!

The Roku stick was the answer I needed. I already have several appliances (blu-ray, cable box, etc.) cluttering the area and didn't want yet another. The Roku stick was just right, not taking up any more space.
I use roku exclusively after abandoning Comcast cable. I would give this 5 stars, but like my roku 3, the device remote control works sporadically. Roku offers a remote app for android that has the same + more features than the device remote and works with multiple devices. Would be nice if more over the air programming was available to make up for no ESPN access
Like being able to watch Netflix on TV w/o cables from laptop to TV. Wish there were more options on the remote. Remote is a problem: suddenly stops working but batteries are fine, found if I flip the batteries from one chamber to the other it will work for awhile. Plus it often freezes to which I found online a code to enter via the remote to resume streaming.
I bought this a month ago and at first I was very satisfied. (Was not happy it made me enter credit card info without making a purchase. Just waiting for a surprise fee.) However now the remote will only work maybe 15% of the time. They do make an app that you can use it from thankfully. Without that app this device really wouldn't be useable for me because of this issue. I have tried changing batteries and resyncing it dozens of times.
