This is a great product, I no longer have to wait through endless commercials or have channels which I do not want my child to have access too. You pick exactly what you want to watch. Furthermore, the one time purchase price and free TV aps makes this a most valuable purchase, it has already paid for itself on the free channels alone!
These devices work great for rooms that you only have wireless. They feel sluggish compared to the Roku 3 when opening apps and navigating the menu. Only thing that would have been nice to include a small HDMI extension. The width of this stick it would not properly fit into my TV, I used the one that came with my Chromecast and solved that problem. Bottom line; if you have tight space and don't want to see a box (and save a few dollars) this thing is fantastic. But if you have a place to put a small box I prefer the Roku 3, mainly for the speed and for a wired connection.
I bought my Roku stick about two months ago, so far so good.I couldn't afford the higher prices of similar products so I decided to take a chance on this one and I am truly happy with my decision. I have told others about this product and my uncle just bought on last week.
This works great. Because of my internet provider, I had trouble getting it to connect but ROKU customer service helped me figure out what to do to make it work. They were very helpful and pleasant to talk to.
Just love this little jewel. We got rid of our cable and had an antenna installed to get our local stations and use little Roku for our entertainment desires.
