I am considering cancelling my cable. I have a firestick in my living room and a Roku in my bedroom. The Roku is better. First (and this may seem minor) but the Roku does not have to be plugged directly into the wall. So for aesthetic and install purposes that was more desirable. Second and more importantly the Roku is MUCH MORE RELIABLE. It has never given me "loading" for more than thirty seconds -- unlike the firestick which can take ten minutes or just not work at all.
As you may be aware the roku is only useful if you have subscriptions to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Instant Video, Showtime Anytime, HBO Go, or the like.
I bought this a few weeks ago to use with sling tv thinking I needed the stick in addition to the base roku 3 and it was so easy to set up and works great actually works better then the base. I'm thinking of adding more sticks.
The ROKU is very slow and is constantly updating every few minutes. We have two other Roku's on an Apex and Visio TV's and they work fine. Any help would be appreciated
Works great! I bought it because it also has a remote I can let my grand kids use or I can use my tablet. My grand kids are not touching my tablet. I have a chromecast also but this gives me tablet or remote. I know that the Amazon fire stick available, but I am very happy with my choice.
