We don't watch much tv. But when we do we like to use our Roku. I wish it was a little quicker with loading the os. I have a few issues with keeping it connected to certain apps. I would recommend for part time tv watchers.
I just bought my 3rd Roku and got rid of 2 of my 3 blu-ray player (keeping one just in case a dvd shows up). They just work perfectly (sent my FireTV back cuz didn't work with the Kindle, and returned the Chromecast cuz it didn't work well period).
We have two other ROKUs in our home, Roku 2 bought in 2013 and a Roke SD bought in 2012. Both of those work excellent with the occasional restart. This streaming stick is just a headache. The remote is hit or miss so most of the time we use the app from our phones. It will freeze and has a pretty steady lag to it. verall, I would NOT purchase this model ever again.
The Roku Streaming Stick is the greatest! It is so easy to install and download all of my favorite movies. I have enjoyed using the Roku Streaming Stick and I would recommend it to anyone that would like to get more movies and TV channels with no extra cost to them.
I have both Roku stick and Chromecast. However some older applications do not work well with the Roku Stick. For example, android screen mirroring phone app lags..Chromecast has its own original app so you can bypass this buggy software. Roku stick does not. Other than that Roku stick delivers the most content. Their user interface is easy to use and it comes with a remote. I like it.
Roku stick is problematic always. Drops connection

remote buttons stick with every 1touch use. Batteries must be removed to stop. The design of hand remote is not Comfortable. Does not fit well in grasp. STICK NEVER CONNECTS DIRECTLY TO TV OR WIFI DEVICE. Drops signal or can't be found. I enjoy many features Roku has and love streaming channels Thus far but Becomes a hassle to keep troubleshooting/reload/support.
I have had mine for a few months now, and I love it! After having my comcast service hacked and hijacked, there is no better way to to feel secure with your choice! I recommend it
