I was looking for a streaming device for the basement rec room tv, this was affordable and compact. Works great for streaming Netflix, Spotify, etc. Did have to reset it by unplugging the power source.
Love the ability to avoid cable and satellite charges. The stick works great and Roku has TONS of channels. However, the remote no longer works, which I have read is common.
Works as planned-that is the problem. No volume control on remote. Unlike Amazon's stick, one cannot just click the Rouku remote and the tv source change that device. The fact that Roku does allow more sources of programming is a big plus, although we do not use them so far. I purchased to replace a Amazon stick for Amazon Prime and Netflix.
I bought this about three months ago because I was tired of satellite and paying way too much for programs I'll never watch. So I chose this route and am enjoying it right now
