Last month we bought our second Roku system, this time a Roku Stick. We love it! It is even better than the first unit, a Roku LT. The Stick also has new channels and games (including Tetris - which we love) that are not available on the older unit. We like Roku so much, that we've convinced at least 5 other people to buy one. We do wish you could offer the Halmark Channel though...otherwise Roku is the best!
We have three and they all work perfectly. The latest is for our new 65 " smart TV that isn't so smart. The smart TV functions don't work and so we bought another Roku. The Roku works perfectly and all functions work every time we use it.
I purchased the Streaming Stick to replace an old Roku player my dog helped retire. Very happy with Roku. Love having the phone app for Roku too. Most exciting update with the streaming stick was finally being able to use Netflix profiles. Also tons of free channels to keep the whole family happy as always.
I have a Roku 3 and a Roku streaming Stick. While the Roku 3 has great features like the headphone jack for private viewing, it has cords and remains with that TV. The streaming Stick allows me the versatility of moving it from TV to TV. When the HDMI connection and powered USB port are close together on the TV, set-up is easier than ever!
It's great for streaming but the connection isn't good. I have to replug it into the wall every time I use the stick. And the batteries have to be taken out and put back in to reestablish the connection. Annoying.
My daughter bought this for me Mother's Day. The signal is so weak that I can't use it in the back of the house. We have a Roku 1 and 2 and they work much better. There seems to be nothing we can do to boost the signal. I'm disappointed.
