I have had my Roku for about a month now and so far I am very happy with my new device. I can watch my favorite programs when I want and am able to watch programs that I was not able to watch when they were on due to watching other programs that were on at the same time. The convenience of watching what I want when I want to watch it makes it worth a lot to me. The picture quality has been excellent and I haven't had any problems with it so far.
Easy to setup and use. Channels/stations you'll want already loaded. Love having remote instead of waiting for apps to load on phone or other devices. Had a chromecast first, just bought 2nd Roku giving chromecast away.
we have had this unit since February. The remote went bad and they did replace it, but it still stalls & does not work approx 3 times a week. The stick is great, the remote needs some work. Many of the Roku channels all have the same movies, some only have 10 movies, some less. 1 crazy channel has 8 hours of Halloween tv.
SUPER VALUE! EXCELLENT FUNCTIONALITY! SO EASY TO USE! FABULOUS CHANNEL SELECTION! 30-days into using my Roku & I have stopped watching standard cable television. I'm a complete technology dummy, so I was concerned that I would not be able to use the device. Have no fears: If you can plug the device into your TV & set up a free account registration on the Roku website, you're all set! The technology on the Roku is outstanding. Streaming is seamless- no interruptions in viewing/loading programs. The Gaiam TV offering is an absolute blessing- the programming is phenomenal! I can see canceling my cable TV subscription altogether in the near term.
I love how I can stream Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. It is very easy to use. The only con is that I wish it didn't stick so far out of the tv because I have a mischievous two year old who likes to pull on it. Extremely easy to set up.
