I was having trouble streaming Netflix and Hulu on my wii player. I thought it was the internet connection, but since I have been using the Roku stick, I've had no problems. It works perfectly and looks nice too. I like that the stick goes directly into the back of the tv, doesn't take up any room and don't have another box taking up space. It also connect with a USB cord, so it is powered by the tv, don't need and extra outlet for it. Very happy.
Roku gives you a new variety of TV watching that is not under most satellite or cable basic channel subscription. Though many channels on Roku are subscription (pay) channels, some are free. The system is user friendly.
