I upgraded from my purple hockey puck Roku that I purchased a few years ago. Much faster I have to say. New layout took a bit getting use to. I purchased a 2nd stick for the master bedroom. Problem I'm having that is consistent with both streaming sticks is that Netflix gets hung up on 25% each and every time I load a film if the unit has sat idle for a day or longer. I have to reboot the Roku stick to get movies to load. This is annoying.
Need cable or internet provider to be able to access a lot of the channels, live sport channels especially. Hard to find any type of live programs that are available unless you just know what is on each provider.
I bought my roku a few weeks ago and love it I don't watch enough tv to have a huge cable bill every month. So I found roku and will never have a cable bill again has so many channels and movies to go through so when I actually sit down to watch a movie or tv shows I know there's always going to be something interesting and new I can watch very very happy with this device!
