I set up and used the stick flawlessly the first time. The next day it would not respond past the jumping roku image. I tried a hard reset. I tried unplugging and replugging. I tried both wired and USB power. I changed the remote batteries. I tried different tv HDMI ports. I even tried it on another tv. Nothing worked. No way to fix it. I tried to look up help on the roku site. Nothing helpful there. This was very disappointing.
Purchased two, spent hours trying to get them to work and could. The techs told me to send it back and get another. Spent way too many hours on this with no reward.
I tried out a number of different streaming sticks and by far my favorite is the Roku Streaming Stick. A great combination of entertainment and convenience for a very reasonable price. Love it!
I've found this to be nothing but frustration. I bought this for my boat and nothing is compatible with satellite tv, just Time Warner. I don't have Time Warner so I can't view any channels. The things I can view are just annoying 30 second clips. I'll end up buying a extra dish for my boat. The only thing that works is Pandora and I have that in my phone.
I bought this to access streaming content while at our second residence. It has worked well for me EXCEPT for the remote. The remote keeps "losing connection" and has to be reset before it can be used. This is really a minor problem but it is my only complaint. Fortunately I can use the phone app until I fix the remote.
We bought this about a month ago. We are happy with th stick but occasionally have issues with the remote not working. Batteries have to be remove and then returned to remote.
