I enjoy the simplicity of the Roku stick. It is very easy to use and an affordable way to enjoy more entertainment. What is frustrating is that the screen freezes after several button pushes. I have to pop out a battery, put it back in and then the screen responds to the remote again.
Many many stations choose from. When my Internet works so does Roku. If there's one problem I do have you must register all the stations and that is a pain so you may have 1000 stations that means you need to register 1000 times and it's not easy sometimes I wish we could find an easier way A way to cut and paste but there's plenty of free shows to keep yourself busy and anything is cheaper than paying for cable
I purchased the Roku Stick about two months and I have been enjoying it since. It was easy to hook up and start streaming. I wish I had bought a Roku sooner.
I have been care taking my father since 2009. He lives in my home and became bedridden about two years ago. I purchased a TV for his room and Roku; we abandoned cable and satellite years ago. Roku was fantastic. I was able to play news, Netflix films, other films, History .... whatever he wanted. He passed away in June 2015. I can honestly say that Roku made his final years better. Since his passing, we have hooked Roku up to our TV in the living room. Until now, we have relied on Chromecast. After using Roku for 30 days personally, I am even more impressed. There is more value in Roku than I ever experienced in nearly 30 years of DirecTV. I don't watch much TV, but when I do, I watch Roku. TERRIFIC product.
I have multiple Roku media players throughout my house. We were buying a few smaller televisions to put in our daughters room and our guest room and we thought it would be a good idea to get the stick instead of the standard media player. It was a horrible decision as they have never worked correctly since we have opened them. Our normal medial players work great and I wish we would have bought more of them.
