I have a Fire TV stick and this ROKU. Between the two, i prefer the layout and channels on the ROKU, but the Fire TV stick is noticeably quicker. Hard to choose a favorite. If I'm watching Amazon, Netflix or Sling, I'll probably stick with Fire TV, but if i want explore, I'll use my ROKU.
This unit works well except no directions were given how to shut off and put back on. I watch a show on my tv from high def outlet 2 then want to go back to high def one for broadcast shows. Whe I again go back to high def 2 I get lost getting back onto Netflix . I sometimes have to go one route then another .
I am very pleased with it, it was very easy to set up and ready to use within minutes. There was only one small thing that wasn't so great was that the batteries that were included died after a couple hours.
My daughter has this in her bedroom rather than cable and she loves it. My only grievance with it is that there is no way to prevent inappropriate commercials on it when she uses the Popcorn Flix kids.
