We started using the Roku stick about 6 weeks ago mainly for the purpose of watchong SlingTV. Due to its poor connectivity speeds, we've watched less than 5 hours of SlingTV. I've tested SlingTV operability on the Roku Stick side by side with my phone...phone streams is perfectly with no interruptions while I cannot even get SlingTV to connect to the Internet through the Roku Stick. We're sadly disappointed.
The setup was a breeze and the use of Roku is easy...just wish it would actually connect to our wireless.
I bought my Roku Streaming Stick { HDMI Version } about 3 months ago for its HDMI feature which is very helpful in my situation... P.S. Thank so much Roku...
I own both a standard Roku box and stick. The remote controller seems to work at greater range when using the box. Either box or stick the features are near identical. The screen display and control for both are intuitive taking no time at all to master. Overall an excellent product.
I recently bought the Roku, the availability of Apps beats the cost of cable. Some of my favorites are SlingTV, Showetime, HBOGO, Google play, and the list continues. Thank you Roku for this device. I recommend it to everyone.
No problems with the Roku but the remote control sucks! Since the beginning I have to remove the batteries and reset it every ten pushes of a button. It stops working. I need a new remote.
