A wonderful streaming gadget

It was one off the greatest gadgets I've ever bought, two things that I would love to see changing, more apps and international coverage for some of the content providers such as Nerflix!
Accessory quality is poor. 12V power supply gave out during first week but fortunately I had one from another device on hand. Then after another couple of weeks the remote indicator light came on and no way could it be turned off. Ran batteries down which required replacement. Doing fine for now hope it continues.
.....the remote...not so much. The stick works good but I'm constantly having to reposition/reinstall the batteries in the remote to get it to function. I've put in fresh batteries and the problem persists. When it plays, the stick performs very well, any buffering issues are because of internet speed lag time. You have a very good selection of channels to pick from, and the video / audio quality is excellent.
My wife and I bought our roku streaming stick about a month ago. We've enjoyed it other than our remote freezes up from time to time, have had to change the batteries, etc as well. Now the back won't slide back in. Pretty disappointed in that. The content itself though has been good.
This is my second Roku device, which I bought for the bedroom. Already watched several movies with it, and catch CNBC and Bloomberg on it each morning before heading off to work.
A very good piece of tech to watch sgreaming content directly on your TV, or a true home theater experience in your backyard hooking the Roku to your projector while barbecuing... yet, when I triedqtp ise mine while on vacation in Baja, México it would not stream content from crackle nor netflix, not even the regionalized versions for México, it just would not load crackle at all and Netflix marked a network error. I would think their market would be bigger if they supported crackle/netflix México, other streaming devices do it just fine. Also youtube is painfully slow in the Roku StreamingStick.
