worked great for awhile and then I started to have to input all my personal information everytime it started. website is no help in trying to fix this.
I bought this stick so that I could subscribe to Sling TV and I find I stream everything through the stick instead of the menu from my smart tv. I have wireless network and I'm very happy with the ease of use and clarity. No more Direct TV for me as I can get ESPN through Sling to get my NFL fix. The Roku remote is simple and easy to navigate.
I purchased this Roku stick to try Roku for my first time. It's very easy to set up and the remote is easy to get used to and operate. I have a new TV so it has the input for this device already on the back.
Bought this a little over a month ago, and was a little worries as the WiFi is on the lower floor of the home, and by computer and/or Laptop only get three bars of WiFi on the upper floor. I'm happy to report that the USB Stick works without a problem, no hesitation, no pauses, no buffering etc.
The Free Content on Roku, is mostly older programs that they can get for free, which is of course why those services are for free. We mainly use the pay services of Acorn (British TV) and Hula (most things are free), which has allowed us to drop the cable "Pay-for-Services", so this has been a money saver in the long run.
One thing on the installation, it need to be in the HDMI #1 slot to work, not sure if this is true for everyone, but in our case when it wouldn't read the USB Strick, just moving it to #1 solved the problem.
