I BOUGHT THIS STICK A MONTH AGO AND HAVE HAD BUFFERING PROBLEMS WITH IT EVER SINCE. LAST NIGHT IT BECAME SO SERIOUS, (IT TOOK ONE HOUR TO WATCH FIVE MINUTES OF AN AMAZON MOVIE ON ROKU), THAT I JUST REVERTED BACK TO MY OLD BOX AND THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM. I SPENT AN HOUR ON THE PHONE WITH MY SERVICE PROVIDER ON A SATURDAY EVENING BEFORE I FOUND OUT IT WAS THE STICK. HE SAID THAT MANY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE STICK, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE MODEM. I AM NOW HAPPY AGAIN WITH MY SERVICE AFTER REVERTING TO THE OLD BOX. DR.

Daughter and family gave me ROKU for Mother's Day. I guess they got tired of me staying at their house all the time catching up on old movies and TV shows. They even installed for me.
We have had this for a year now, at first it worked great but the last six months it wont connect to the internet unless you unplug it from the TV and reset the Roku Stick.
I love this thing! I now have two for my apartment. Great features and easy to use/navigate. The only thing I would change is adding a feature to let you "confirm" when you're switching to a new app. I always put my remote down and actually hit a shortcut and it will take me out of my Netflix to another app before I can react!
My husband and I bought this and love it. We love that we can link it to our cable programming and watch our current season shows when we're not in the living room.
