Bought 2 and neither worked. Tried various fix options, searched internet for possible failure causes, etc and ended up sending them back. We may try them in the future as they are what we need, but will look long and hard about that decision. Wish they worked for us!!
The software interface and number of channels is great - if you can't find it on Roku, it isn't out there, and it doesn't take a genius to find it. My only issue is its speed; it can't stream as well as my little Samsung tablet, and at this point I don't know if the problem is Internet speed or with the stick itself. But, this was an experiment, and if I have to upgrade to a Roku 3 after I've upgraded my internet, so be it.
Have two roku sticks in my home and I barely watch cable television anymore. The options are vast and the recent mirroring option alone is worth the price. Streaming quality is excellent.
I switched from Appletv to Roku. I was very disappointed that it does not always work with Hulu Plus. It seems to work well with all of the other Apps. I would recommend this product as long as you did not want to use Hulu Plus.
