Really like the roku hdmi stick because it is so small and convenient. Very easy to set up and once you do it is like plug and play on any TV, that's whats so awesome! It works really well as a smart stick for apps and also for streaming from a smart phone. This is like having a fire stick and a google chromecast all wrapped up in one. Sometimes, I loose the connection for streaming but it is beta and it could be my internet. Could work on the wifi receiver on the stick, like the booster that comes with the chromecast stick
Overall I really like the Roku. I DO NOT like that I have to put in credit card information before I can use it, especially if Im not planning on ever buying movies off of it. I like that it has a remote, i wish you could just buy a remote separately though. If you do lose your remote, you can use your phone, but with using your phone there is a delay. I use this instead of having satelite and I really enjoy it overall.
I am very pleased with both the ease of installation and the company's prompt replies and continued support until we had an issue solved. It was a unique issue so not relevant here--the important thing is the responsive customer service people.It is an excellent choice over cable AND the stick means you don't need a cumbersome box. I would however, like more easily identifiable or perhaps listed separately from the FOR PAY. I do subscribe to two pay channels and they are excellent. Perhaps the follow up emails could be more about introducing me to some "featured" channels I might not be aware of--rather than trying to sell me the product I already have.
Purchased the fire stick and returned it. Had roku 3 on another tv and wanted to see what the other products could do by comparison. The roku stick was faster and I like the interface much better. Like roku systems overall much better.
This is our 4th roku and our 3rd roku stick. Super easy to set up and love that it had the remote. We previously had a chromecast and the roku stick is so much easier.
