I have a basic ROKU box and three ROKU sticks in my home. I have TV's in a number of rooms and needed to be able to acess Netflix and Amazon Prime for guests in my home and in my workout room. These little sticks are great, and work fine with the USB connection most of the time. On one of my TV's the reception with the USB is a bit less than if I plug in the power adaptor, but over time I've ended up using just the USB connection and it's a bit laggy initially, but works just fine. The ROKU sticks are MUCH better than acess on my smart TV, and I don't think I'll bother with another smart TV in the future since the connections with ROKU sticks ( and apple TV ) work so much better. I am a mac system person and prefer ROKU boxes/sticks to apple TV since they get Amazon prime and are easier to manage. Plug and play.
This is the 5 Roku I have purchased. Some for gifts and now I have a stick for my guest room. Set up easy and fast. The stick is perfect for the location I am using it.
I have had Roku products for the last couple of years. I got rid of cable and now just have roku. I subscribe to Netflix for my daughter, and Hulu for myself. I have roku on every tv in my house. Love the product!!!!
Nice interface and many features. On the downside, it is a bit slower to load certain apps, not a big deal. Howver, it gets incredibly hot fast, not good for continuous streaming for hours. Not enough spanish language movies or subtitle options.
