I got this about 5 weeks ago,and love it. Takes up no room at all.U have it plugged into the back of my yamaha reciever in a hdmi port. It has worked flawlessly since! Great job Roku,keep up tje good work
As a single mom of 2 sons, having an option other than the high price of cable became a necessity. I read reviews for months and decided to try Roku...so glad I did! It's awesome to watch Hulu and Netflix on the flat screen tv...my sons watch a lot of YouTube and the streaming stick is used daily by at least one of us, if not all of us. I enjoy it so much that I plan to either purchase the Roku 3 box or a Roku TV.
We are constantly getting an error that says "error 400-1 user not authorized" for children's TV shows. The same show can be watched one day, but get that error the next. We also had to remove children's Popcorn Flix from the line up. During a children's movie, a commercial for 50 shades of gray came on! VERY INAPPROPRIATE for a children's channel! Very disappointed. We were hoping the Roku would allow us to censor what is brought into our home. We cancelled cable long ago and have not had TV. The Roku stick was a gift.
I have a roku 2 and wanted to add another to a different tv. The stick works great, just plug it into your hdmi port and install. Very easy.I have netflix and it is really nice to be able to have more tv's hooked up.
Already have a ROKU 3 with headphones. Love it because I don't wake my roommate when watching early morning & late night TV. In addition to WiFi connectivity, I absolutely love the RJ45 Ethernet Port. There's NOTHING greater then connecting to my network with blazing speed & reliability. No buffering EVER or digital pixelization! Bought ROKU Stick for 2nd TV in my bedroom. Also a great device! Unfortunately it only has WiFi, and the remote does NOT have the headphone jack. Aside from that it is great and operates the same. The price is much cheaper then the '3'. If they could for the same money, I would love the ethernet port option built in. That would be a grand slam!
