This is the second Roku I've purchased in the last 18 months and I'm still not completely satisfied. I have to reset the player several times a week. The remote for both don't work. I'm glad that I can use an app on my iPhone to get it to work at all. I would not buy this again nor would I recommend it.
I bought the Roku stick about a month ago and I love it. So much to watch I'm considering canceling my cable subscription altogether. Love access to Vudu and NetFlex, and Pandora. There are also free exercise/yoga channels that are very good. All in all - I love the thing.
Easy to set up. Takes a bit to get used to getting around, but once you're used to it, it's fine. Nice inexpensive way to watch streaming on your home TV.
I wanted to find a device that I could easily hook up to my TV and watch Netflix/other channels. I love the roku and enjoy watching all the channels they have to offer.
