We like the Roku stick. We own three Roku devices and are very pleased with all of their products. Especially pleased that the shows we watch with the stick automatically sync with our Roku TV.
This is my third Roku player. My other two ( wired) work perfectly on my two tvs but this new one does not work on my upstairs tv. I think I understand why: my wireless router is on my first floor and the tv we usually watch Netflix on is on the third floor. ( with one of the wired Rokus). I switched to the Roku stick but It won't pick up any signal there . I bought this one to take with us when we migrate south for the winter and I hope there won't be any problem there since everything is on one floor.
I love my Roku. It was given to me as a gift about a month ago, but on the first day of using it I found myself having to alternate the batteries. Sometimes it doesn't work and I have to rub the batteries. The batteries are brand new, so I know its the stick.
I like how compact the product is, however, the weight of it has caused a bend from the connector to the body. I also think the programming is second rate.
