I was able to catch up on TV shows I had quit watching due to network/TV show disputes, boy had I missed a lot! It is so easy to use the Roku stick, I definitely made a great choice.
Instead of buying another regular Roku we decided to go with the stick. It works just the same but you don't see it since it plugs into a port on the back of the TV and it doesn't seem to matter so much where you point the remote.
