I own 2 other roku products (roku 3 & roku tv) that work flawlessly. My roku stick remote has been giving me trouble though. Most of the time its unresponsive. When it works it constantly clicks left or right. Luckily I can work around this by using my phone as a remote. Just an annoying issue.
I like the Roku -- I have a Chromecast and an Amazon Firestick (the latter which I gave away) -- except for one problem. I was using the USB power from the TV and had problems keeping the connection working. I finally figured out the issue -- I needed to use the wall power and the connections were more stable. The Amazon Firestick had he same issue but the manual mentioned it; I could not find the same information in the Roku information).
Really really love the Roku stick.! Only one problem I'm having with it. The remote just randomly quits working after awhile. The only way I've found to fix it, is to repair the remote to the Roku stick. Other than that, I love it!!
It has some good options , but a lot of things I would never use. It also seems to get overheated , and messes up the digital graphics and you will have to restart it so things are smooth again. We use it daily for sling tv , and occasionally to do movies on google. We would usse it for netflix too , if our tv wasn't a smart tv. But overall I would say it is a good buy and recommend it to anyone looking for something of this sort.
I haven't been using the Roku stick long but so far it does what it is supposed to do , I haven't had a lot of time to really see what all is available yet but I have used it to watch Amazon and Hulu programming and haven't had any problems
I have been extremely happy with the device and available content, I currently own 3 roku 3 and bought this streaming stick for a TV we have hanging on the wall. Excellent products and absolutely no complaints
