I have had the worst luck with the remote - thank goodness for the app on my phone otherwise I would be up a creek. The actual connecting stick works great and I rarely have problems - streaming can occasionally be slow but for the most parts the only complaint is the actual remote.
It was given to me as a gift from my son for my birthday last year. At first, I used it for Netflix only. It didn't take long to discover all the other great things it has to offer.
I bought this around 2 months. Wish it had more channels but it is great as far as Netflix and hulu go. Mainly bought it cause I didn't want cable anymore. But some of the channels you have to have cable just to get it like history and discovery channels :( overall a great product
I substituted this Roku Streaming Stick for a Google Chrome device because it was a pain to have to have streaming apps loaded on tablet or phones that most of the time devices weren't compatible with current streaming apps. I just didnt get any enjoyment from Google Chrome. Enter the Roku and our streaming TV world is wide open now, HBO GO, NBC sports , Red Bull Signature are all streaming movies shows and sports I love to watch. I can also compare this to a Netgear NeoTV which does not update, no HBO, no NBC... lets face it , you can get Netflix and Hulu anywhere, its the network streaming channels where you going to get live sports and the best shows HBO. Roku is so far the best device I have tried.
I purchased this about a month ago and love it. I can now watch netflix and amazon prime shows from my bedroom tv. No smart TV needed. I like the other shows too.
I had a Chromecast, but it was not compatible with Sling TV. I got a Roku free from one of their promotions and love it! No need to link any other device; I can watch all my channels right from Roku itself. Plus the remote is cute :)
