I bought this a few months ago and have thoroughly enjoyed it. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because it has frozen twice on me causing me to completely reset the device.
I love the Streaming stick it works great and has plenty of content. The only downside is it does overheat occasionally which requires letting it cool off unplugging from tv and power for about an hour. It does also glitch at times but going thru settings and restarting the unit fixes that. The unit needs an actual power off feature.
selection is ok. access is painfully slow. to select movies on Netflix you have to be patient for the remote. going to fast will put you somewhere where you don't want to be.
I purchased this a month ago and it works great. Let me add that I am 63 and not tech savvy. Installed it in just over ten minutes and have been enjoying movies and TV series. This is my first roku stick.
I have had this for a couple of months. I really liked it so I purchased another one for the bedroom. For some reason I have an issue with the remote control. It will work, then intermittently not work. If I remove the battery and re-insert it. It will work. I am constantly do this. It just might be my remote. I was able to link my two Roku's to the one account.
We ordered SLINGTV and received a free rokustick. it worked for about a week and then stopped. I am familiar as I have two- Roku2 and XL. Ialter b ated then all through the house and my older rokus always worked. But the stick seems dead.
