I got this 3 months ago for my kids the streaming stick is great the remote not so much. Everything was fine the first month until the remote stop working properly & now it doesn't work at all. Have to use smart phones & tablets to control it. I bought a roku 3 at the same it still works fine though.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love it how if you miss a show and you don't get to watch it, then you could go back and watch it. But sometimes it shows that theres an error and you have to start it all over again. But overall it is great!!!

Just plug it into an HDMI outlet on your TV, and you are good to go! It's so wonderful, I bought another one so we could have the convenience in both parts of the house.

Clear Winner; Replaces My Roku 3

It costs half that of a Roku 3, and does everything the 3 does except for the input on the 3's remote to plug in headphones. It's also a fraction the size of a Roku 3, and doesn't have to sit out in front of the TV all the time, as it plugs into and sits in the back where the USB ports are.
It costs more than a Chromecast stick, but it comes with lots more apps and a remote that is way more useful than I first thought it would be.
Adding channels activation codes, and inputting data like username, passwords is annoying because the only way to do it is by tapping one letter at a time on an on-screen keyboard... you only have to go through this once per channel or service that you want to add, but it can be a lengthy process. To solve this, Roku should offer the ability to take care of all the setup stuff via a computer browser, once signed into your Roku account.
Bottom line is it's basically as good as the more expensive Roku 3, and way more functional than Chromecast for only $10 more. To me it's currently the clear winner of all the app streamers.
Apple is missing from my comparison; of course, because everything about Apple TV it is way to proprietary for it to ever be in the final running to win the streaming war.
I would recommend this to a friend!
