I rated this device 4 out of 5 stars because all my friends have same concern as I do. Granted you can have the best product in the world and some how people will find something to complain about,but out of like 50+ friends of mine that have the device we all say the same thing. ON & OFF SWITCH get one we are tired of having to plug and un plug and pull out its just stupid sometimes. If there was a power button your device would be flawless,but overall its still a great device. Also the fact you need a credit card to use the thing is dumb granted again it makes it easy for us so we can just buy subscriptions on the go,but when apps are free idk it dumb.
I bought a stick awhile back. It works great.But the one I bought last month was nothing like the first one. It has been made much more cheaply. It lagged right from the beginning. As the days went on it lagged more and more until it would not work at all. I took it back. The new version is nothing like the first version.
I love the streaming channels available but the the remote only work for about 5 minutes before it had to be reset. I stop using the remote an now use my cell phone. I think the remote is sold to put you in but they know it wont work, so a remote app is available once you get feed up with resetting the remote that comes with the stick. .
The product is great and very easy to set-up, use and keep up to date. My only complaint is that the remote stops working after a while and we have to keep switching the batteries around, otherwise a wonderful product.
