Compared to the Roku 2, the processor is much slower. Navigating around the interface can be slow at times. Also, purchased a subscription to SLING TV, and added the channel to both my Roku Stick, and Roku 2. The is a significant difference in performance. Once you get where you want to be and start streaming video it's great! I
I enjoy the convenience to the access to the channels and shows that I like and not having to pay for extra channels that I never watch. Being able to add channels and remove them at my own convenience without penalty is also a plus. I rate it good because sometimes the connection goes out for a few seconds or so but that may or may not be the Roku itself, it could be the internet connection on my side. Other than that, it's a very good product and I wish I would have known a bit earlier but at the same time, better to know now than not at all.
I bought mine about 1 year ago and I love it. The interface is amazing, its pretty and it's quick and responsive. I've bought a lot of other setups, chromecast, apple, Samsung.. but none have all the features combined that I love so much.
The one single downside is occasionally the sound will stop working and I'll have to pause and rewind the show to get it back but it's rare and easily fixable. Since buying my first one I've now bought 3. One for every tv in every room!
I am not a very tech savvy person. this was simple even for me to set up and use. The options are great. the price was good and the small device takes up no room at all unlike a Wii or game system.
I'm enjoying my Roku Streaming Stick! The amount of different selections is Great. I'm just hoping that more selections can be added in the future. Though, I see that one of your remote models has an headphone adapter, which is great for not disturbing others. Unfortunately, my model doesn't.
I brought this about a month ago and I am so happy with it so far. It's so easy to hook up. Just plug it in, find the port you want to use and your set to go. So glad I got this.
