Constantly Locking Up

Bought Roku, called support within 2hrs of setting up because remote not communicate with tv. 3 days later the ROKU symbol displayed and the remote would not communicate. Support blamed my Internet connections, so I switched to Chromcast and no more problem. Returned Roku for refund
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The only bad feature is some of the stations keep dropping the wifi connection and announcing on the tv screen that I am not connected even though there is excellent signal strength (5 bars).

Made for travel

I travel 1 week monthly with my work. Fortunately, this affords me with no-cost hi-speed internet, due to the hotel chain's rewards program.
As far as size. You could pack about 8 sticks in the space that a Ruku 3 occupies in my suitcase. There are drawbacks: the stuck will connect to wireless network with a single password but it really can't deal with a two-part authentication, such guest name And room number in two separate fields. I have overcome this by bringing along a small travel router: I can authenticate the router in the necessary way then, connect the Stick to the router with a single password. In actuality, this is not so bad because I can also connect my smartphone, laptop, and kindle too,without having to re establish a handshake between each device and the hotel wi-if each trip. The convenience afforded to my multiple devices by the small travel router outweighs the minor setback of the password incompatibility. And it still saves space.

The second reservation is caused by difficulty keeping a link between the Stick and it's remote. Even though I have received the access codes to modify radio details, the link doesn't last long. Fortunately, Roku has an IOS app that allows me to emulate the remote functions. The app and my iPhone never have a hiccup. So what does it have going for it? It's affordable, highly portable, full featured, easy to set up at home, or on the road (with some help from a router) and provides a beautiful picture and the ability to bring some of those familiar, on-demand TV shows and movies along for the ride. Aside from travel, this would be a perfect, simple solution for bringing some entertainment to the tv in the guest room. All in all, the positives outweigh the shortcomings an I'm glad I bought it. I'm sure we'll see a fix for the remit controller issue soon.

M.y condo requires that we pay for Comcast connection. On weekends or holidays the Comcast feed is unreliable and my Roku service is aborted. Otherwise I really enjoy your ad free service.
