I bought roku almost a month ago..i also purchased chromecast as well. I bought these products specifically to watch a WWE event..Come to find out the big hype on chromecast was exactly that! CC didnt even carry the WWE channel along with msny others. Thank goodness i got the roku..not only does it have WWE..but many others like Netflix and Hulu which r two of my faves!! Took CC back to the store immediately and never turned back..Roku rocks!! Love it!
I love Roku. However, it does not work reliably across all my devices. It responds well when using my phone (Android), but is quirky from tablet (Kindle Fire HDX). I presume those bugs will be worked out over time.
I bought the stick as a cheap way to check out Roku (I have AppleTV) instead of buying the Roku 3. The features and service are great, but the stick is slow at times and loses WiFi quality. I'm sure the Roku 3 would not suffer the signal quality/performance issues and will likely upgrade to it soon. The stick will be great as a second/portable device though, so we will be keeping it.
