I wasn't very happy with the commercials that keeps popping up during a movie or TV program. Don't get me wrong, I don't mine commercials; but every two to three minutes and lasting 5 to 6 minutes. Don't I don't like that with regular TV nor with ROKU.
The remote is useless. There is no fix or even acknowledgement of the issue. Though there are plenty of people with this issue and conflicting solutions. This is a big handihap. I wouldnt want to recommend Roku unless there is an official fix.
I needed a netflix fix while visiting mom. This was such an inexpensive, easy solution. easy to install. Easy to use. I highly recommend it, plus easy to transport.
Orig had Chromecast -- feel like I was limping compared to RUNNING with Roku! Works lightning fast, great election and I'm still learning and adding new channels (great variety!). some other reviews put the streaming stick down as slow to respond, stick gets hot, etc. Almost didn't give this a try. I'm glad I gave it a chance. I haven't had a bit of trouble with it. Highly recommend
