The Remote leaves much to be desired

The Roku Stick is great! I like the user interface except that it continually loads the next episode. this should be an option that can be turned off. The remote functions but not very well. I usually have to press the button 2 or more times to get the stick to resond to it.
While the stick is easy to use, just plug it in initially and set up information and channels, we do find that it will occasionally freeze and it requires a hard reset. This is very hard to find out how to do. I had to scour tons of sites online to find out what exactly was happening to my Roku stick. Also, the reset doesn't always work right away, I had to try it again and again until something finally worked. Not sure if this is inherent of the Roku stick or I have a defective one. Other than that frustrating piece, it is easy to use. It would be nice for the channels that are pay channels to list that they are pay sites before I go in and add the channel and get through what I want to watch and then find out it's pay. It is a nice selection of channels and movies though for free.
