I own a Roku 2 XS, and I and I purchased another TV, So I was at my friends house, and he had a ROKU Stick. I liked the format a lot better, so I purchased one. What I like best about ROKU, so much to chose from. I got rid of my Direct TV, and I'm Not sorry I did! Jim
I bought this device after leaving the expensive tv subscription. This device has saved me $300 so far, which is what I needed. I am abe to stream all the apps with ease. Setup was simple. The only issue is a construction flaw. For a mobile plug-in device, the hdmi seems to bend as I move from tv to tv. Also, I have to use the usb cable to support the weight in one tv or it won't turn on. Overall, I'm satisfied with the purchase.
I love my old roku, but the streaming stick stopped working within 2 months. It seems (to me) that someone pivoted the tv and after that, the roku couldn't get off the main screen.
I have found my regular roku player to be much longer-lasting and reliable than the streaming stick
I purchased the streaming stick for another TV in our household, works great and is easy to setup plus it's portable! The only downside is that it doesn't control the TV. We have a smart tv with roku built in so we are a little spoiled! Lol
