I bought it and I still reviewing it but up to now I really lt. Has a lot of options to watch at TV. I find that some channels are to expensive. (Showtime, hbo, etc) Netflix is excellent and cheaper.
The only issue I have with the roku stick is the remote goes dead frequently and you have to take out the batteries and put them back in for the remote to wake up. This happens even when your flipping through options. So roku has to fix this. Other then that, this is a great product.
I have to take out the batteries everyday and switch out batteries even if they're not new ones!! I don't understand why the batteries keep going down so quickly!! Not a happy camper here!!
This is a great streaming device. It has been a wonderful addition to our previously purchased services such as Hulu, Netflix, and Sling TV. Now I no longer have a cable bill at all. Just internet for my Roku and an antenna. Saving $150 a month. Plus it is easy to throw in my purse to use when we leave town or visit friends.
We bought this device so that we would be able to use the tv in our bedroom since we don't have cable in there. We love it and everything it lets us enjoy (Netflix, Hulu, pandora, etc)! It is a great buy and is very convenient. However, the remote rarely works. It will work for a day or two and then it just poops out. If we change the batteries, it usually starts working again but then stops after a day or two again. So that part sucks but it does give us the option to use our phone as the remote so we can do that when the remote itself isn't working. Overall though, it's very nice and I'm glad that we bought it!
I purchased the Roku Streaming Stick so I could watch my favorite shows on History and Discovery Channel as I don't subscribe to them on my cable tv. What I found out is those channels only show a few of the old episodes for free and the only way to see the newer shows is to subscribe to them on cable. All of the free shows are really old as are the movies. The only good thing I have found is there are a lot of Religious Channels that I can view for free and I do enjoy them.
I purchased the roku stick months ago and it is excellent. I never experienced any problems and because it is small doesn't take up a lot of space. It's a very good product to invest in!
