Good but not as good as expected

This device does the job it's supposed to but is not as fast as the old Roku 2 XD I purchased a couple of years. Loading Netflix takes longer than I would like and the interface is too dense and not as clear as Roku 2 XD's. Otherwise it works as advertised.
We canceled regular tv a year or so ago. We then only had Netflix via a DVD player that we bought. I was intending to buy a 2nd DVD player for the same feature when I stumbled across the Roku steaming stick. I was intrigued by the extra options. We paid for a subscription for the NHL playoffs tv which my husband and sons were very happy with. We also like having a news channel.
I HAVE HAD IT BOUT A MONTH NOW AND HAVE NOT SAW ANYTHING ON. EVERY TIME I TRY TO USED IT IT STAY ON FOR LESS A MINUTE AND GO OFF ON EVERY CHANNEL. HAVE BOUGHT THE EXTENER AND STILL NO HELP DONT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IR. HAVE HAD 2 PEOPLE LOOK AT IT AND THEY DONT KNOW WHAT WRONG.. NOW IT WONT EVEN COME ON
I got this as a gift and I wish I'd bought it forever ago. I love the search feature, I love that I can get my HBO Go on it (my wii does NOT) I can easily watch ANYTHING on it. LOVE. I recommend to all my friends (even the apple people)
I brought this a while ago but been too busy to use it I have the non USB Roku which was awesome but plugging it in limited the mobility of my TV. This works great love it
Love the old shows available on roku!! Hugh variety ... Much much cheaper than cable!!! Why pay a monthly bill???? So easy to set up even for computer challenged person!
