Been using the Roku stick for over a month and it's worked great except, it seems slow turning on. Not sure if the fact that it's plugged in behind the TV. No other worries though, works just as good as a stand alone unit. I have the unit plugged into my tv's USB and so o don't use the powe cord. Great item, will be buying more.
I purchased Roku Streaming Stick to get college basketball on ESPN3, which is not available on my regular cable. I was disappointed to find that most programs require a fee or offer programs that I am not interested in. I have watched a couple of programs made for Crackle that I have enjoyed, and hope that they will add to their line-up. Netflix offers several programs that I would watch, but it has a monthly subscription fee.
I've had my Roku stick for about 2months and even though I haven't explored it in its entirety, I'm loving what I've seen so far. It definitely beats being a slave to your cable provider.
The remote did not work. I had to remove and replace the batteries over and over again to get the remote to interact with the Roku. I returned it to the store. I prefer the Amazon Fire Stick.
