For a long time at home entertainment was only supplied through pricey cable companies who seem to care nothing about their customers. This alternatives empowers consumers with options while also being reliable and simple to use.
I bought this Stick and Love it. I had a Roku 3 on one TV already and bought a flat screen to mount on and wall so wanted to try the stick works great.
I bought 3 of these and 1 will not work. I couldn't find any answers on fixing the problem. I thought it was the remote so I bought a new one. No luck. That Roku is a piece of junk.
I was gifted my Roku and was very excited to try it out. After getting it all set up, I'm realizing the features aren't all that spectacular. It's pretty much the same as just hooking your computer up to a TV but less convenient. The system just seems a little archaic when you have the click letter by letter to search for a program. I end up using it mostly to just stream music more than watch programs just because of how slow it is. I've also noticed Netflix tends to glitch frequently which is disappointing. Also a lot of the free channels offered seem very unprofessional and really a waste of time. I wish I was more impressed with this product.
The product works as advertised, with the following exceptions. - I have five HDMI ports on my tv but only one of them will bring the signal through. Also the USB port will not supply power to the product....Otherwise a fantastic performer.!!!!
