Fantastic product

I was wary of cutting the cable cord even though it was becoming too expensive to afford. So, me and my older sister cut the cord a couple of months ago. And it's been fantastic! With addition of SlingTV, It's like I have most of what cable has to offer but most definitely at 80-90% LESS than the monthly cost of cable; With Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime, I have access to all the shows and movies I want to watch whenever I want, etc. The Roku Streaming Stick is excellent and I recommend it to anyone who's thinking about cutting the cable cord(s).

I purchased a second ROKU because the first one worked so well with MLB.com Premium. Works a lot better than either of my Smart TVs.

Really enjoying my Roku Streaming Stick

This is my second Roku purchased to use while traveling. It works better than my
Roku 2. I use it primarily for Netflix and the hot button to Roku is appreciated. I had only one minor problem but I think many will have the same problem. The power cable is not long enough to go from my wall mounted TV to a power plug. This cable needs to be longer.

Good for ditching cable, but inconsistent

I got this as a Christmas gift and was able to shut off my cable (Comcast wanted 114 for internet alone but I got a new carrier). It's been pretty great but a little inconsistent - mostly with the remote. It stops working randomly and a fix that works one time doesn't work the next.
Also, and this isn't a fault with Roku per se, but with each service the interface is entirely different, so one time you get a QWERTY entry and the next it's A-Z. And all the while you're doing it with a remote that may or may not work. I tried the computer app that should allow you to type passwords easier but that didn't really work. The Android app is useful as a backup but getting to settings is harder.
If I had it to do over again with setup I'd have changed all my passwords to simpler ones, but then there is the issue of security.
Overall I'm glad I got it as I've saved a lot of money and it works fine over 90% of the time. It's just hard to troubleshoot the issues and getting hold of anyone at Roku is not super easy.

out of sight!

Bought back in December 2014. Wanted clean no wire installation. Loads up slower than Roku3 as expected because of processor. Remote control was a bit sluggish but after a software update it seems to work better. Overall I'm satisfied.

I purchased this to look at specific programs I could not receive on regular or cable tv and am very happy with it. There is a lot to choose from, but not the type of movies I would personally watch.
