I bought the stick several months ago, and although I am happy with the programing options, I am still experiencing some difficulty with the remote responding to commands. I have changed the batteries, but the problem persist. I have had to reset the remote several times and have concluded that perhaps I have a bad remote.
I have had ROKU equipment for many years. I thought that purchasing the streaming stick would have some advanced features, I was wrong!! The programing guides are difficult to navigate, and the formats are DARK and TOO SMALL, especially on NETFLIX!!
Great purchase. I believe that this where TV is headed. I can't wait for Roku or similar products to grow and provide everything at a reasonable cost. It currently is worth every nickel and provides a vast amount of entertainment and information for virtally pennies. I now have 2 sticks and a regular Roku 2. We have 2 homes an it is easy to transport the devices and connect them as we go back and forth
We purchased this as a companion Roku to put on our smaller TV in the kitchen. We liked it so much, because of its plug and go feature and the fact that is does not need to sit in front of the TV, that we have put it on our main TV and plan to purchase another for the kid's TV room. So when my cat is laying in front of the TV stand, we can still flip the channels!
If you want a simple, elegant and reliable solution for 'SmartTV' style solution, look no further. With TV manufacturers blurring the world of SmartTV into a non-standard consumer nightmare, Roku brings you an affordable solution that can be used on multiple TV's to bring a standard way of delivering Netflix, Plex and so on backed by a cloud backend to keep your registered devices looking and feeling same.
We were gifted the roku stick about a month ago. We enjoyed it very much but it is so touchy with the streaming consistency. Tried resetting it, the wireless router, reconnecting differently to tv. Can't get it to stream well at all. Plus, the remote disconnects too easily and doesn't work very well.
