Stick gets really hot when left plugged in too log. Cable did not seat correctly in stick had to use my phone plug instead. It was free with the purchase of sling, so I can't really complain about that. Question? Why can't I use it on MacBook?
I like the ability to stream? But i do seem to use up batteries in the remote more than I should, and if the player is inactive for a period of time I have to reset the remote, or even reboot the player, which is a serious pain in the neck and wastes a considerable amount of time. In terms of the functioning of the hardware, I'd say it's performance is actually quite unacceptable.
I both three roku, no more cable. Even my nine year old works it well. Gave it 4 stars instead of five because I had a defective one that had to be rebooted often. I have since returned it.
