Far more reliable than Google Chromecast. Less reliable than Roku 3. A streaming function similar to that of Chromecast would make it the best stick on the market. Great amount of content.
I got the stick a month ago for my bedroom TV. Easy to install. I also have the HD model for my older TV. I have over the air shows and my Roku for streaming. Worth the investment. Love my Roku!
The Roku itself has great functionality. It's pretty quick to buffer and the apps I use commonly (Netflix, HBO, Youtube) are all pretty good. I've used Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Sling in the past and those were also good.
The problem: My remote became unpaired with my device. I sat online with service for an hour and after trying 5 different things including a hard reset of my device (ie all passwords and logins lost) it still didn't work. They sent me a new remote and it doesn't work either! I'm still trying to sort out this issue a month later. I'm stuck using the smartphone app which unreliably connects to my Roku. To be fair, I'm not sure if that's a problem with my phone or the app. I just want a working remote!
I brought the streaming stick about 2 months ago. I would like to if you can add Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN). There are multiple channels support the same rental movies. Less rental movies.
