I love my ROKU and I just bought a second one for my bedroom... The stick is awesome and fast! Getting ready to purchase 2 more... one for my outside TV and one for my office!
Works great and gets all the channels the Roku 3 gets. The only draw back to all of the Roku products is they overheat at times. For the stick, I unplug the power cord to cut off the electric current when I'm not using it. It will get hot even if your tv is off. For the Roku 3 I use a small fan to keep it cool when it's running. I also have a Roku TV and that one never overheats. It must have a built in fan.
Was great at first then it was having a hard time connecting to my wifi. I had a similar problem with my roku 3 which I ended up using an Ethernet cable on. The stick doesn't have this option. When it worked, it worked flawlessly. My wife went out and bought a fire stick and 3 weeks later it's still connected to wifi have never had to reboot it and works perfectly. Also we tried our Apple TV on the same TV same spot same day without resetting anything on the router and that also worked flawlessly. I love the roku design but they really need to work on their wifi connections.
I've had this about 2 months. Everytime I try to use it, the remote will not stay synced to the stick.. Don't know if its the stick or the remote. I have to use an app on my iPhone to control the stick!!!
