Not much improvement over original Roku

I bought an original Roku four years ago and love it. While there are some features provided by the Roku stick that are an upgrade to the service, I feel that Roku fixed a few things that weren't broken. The remote now has too many unnecessary buttons and I have to push the "ok" button at least twice to get the stick to respond. More annoying than useful.
I got this for Christmas, and my husband and the kids love it (they are Youtube addicts). I thought the set up could have been explained a little better, and I wish they offered more free movie channels, but this was definitely a great investment.
Streaming stick works fine, but the remote sucks. I keep having to pop the batteries and reset it to make it work. This is my 3rd stick - first one got fried by lightening but the second died during an update. I keep coming back to Roku becos it does a good enough job for the price.
I bought this Roku because the original purchased in 2013 stopped working. I have Roku in all my 3 TVs, that said, it sucks signing on to my M-Go acct, never recognizes my password and I have not watched any movies for at least a month
