The Roku stick is so much easier than accessing everything through our Blu-Ray DVD player. A plug-in to the HDMI and we were good to go. Easy registration for Roku and easy set up of various channels.
I purchased the Roku Stick for our flatscreen, not being a smart tv. From day 1 we had problems with the remote; Constantly resetting the Stick &/or remote. Now, the Roku app is all that works. All in 2 months.
