I finally sat down and used my Roku to watch the Outlander series 1, ep.1-8. I'm hooked on the show and the Roku. I was afraid there might be buffering issues, similar to the ones on my iPad. Nope. Gorgeous detail. Flawless streaming! The down side? Seven hours of great television! Oh wait. That's not a down side!
I bought this had it for a week kept dropping internet although the settings showed that i was connected i sent it back absolutely terrible i called my cable and internet provider to make sure it wasn't my internet they confirmed that it has been connected they whole time and other than Netflix and hulu the other content is not what i call good entertainment a complete waste of time
This is the second Roku product we have purchased and we couldn't be happier. We no longer pay pricey cable bills because of Roku. There are so many channel options to choose from and the set up is literally as easy as plugging the device in. There's so much to choose from, we're never bored!
I received a letter about an upcoming increase this July and decided this is it for me. I don't watch a lot of different tv shows. So I was paying for channels I never watch. Now I watch just what I want and only pay for added service I want or need. I am a tennis guru so sling tv on roku gives me everything I want. Wish I had made the choice sooner.
I bought the streaming stick in the hopes of not cluttering up my cabinet with yet another box. I wish I had bought another box. The streaming stick is weak and loses its connection to wifi very easily. Also, the remote loses is connection all the time, and the only solution I have found is to remove one battery and put it back in immediately. I almost always have to do this after each button I push which makes it very cumbersome to do anything.
The only thing positive I could say is that once I have been able to finish a tv show after multiple wifi interruptions, it will automatically go to the next episode.
I love Roku products and have owned four different devices, and will continue to purchase them. But I honestly can't wait for the streaming stick I have to die so I can justify buying something else. This time, it will be a box. Roku boxes have never let me down.
