This device expands my tv access into a room which never had a cable jack before. It gives new life to an older tv set and I'm so glad! The picture on the set is excellent and audio is up to a high standard too.
I bought the roku streaming stick about a month or so ago and am highly dossapointed with it. I have friends and family with a roku and they love it and swear by it but I must have bought a defective one
I bought about 2 months ago. I enjoy having the pleasure of streaming at my convience. Down fall is should have more popular streaming apps, such as Rhapsody, & Redbox Instant. Other then that I love it.
Every few minutes I have to remove the batteries then re-insert them to continue using the remote. I've tried syncing the remote multiple times, but that does not resolve the issue. Sometimes I use the remote app on my phone, but that's a pain to have to waste my battery and have to unlock my phone any time I want to pause my streaming stick. Then I end up having to rewind it to get it to the spot I wanted to pause it at. Like I said, LOVE the Roku, absolutely DESPISE the remote! Please address this issue so future customers won't have such a hard time using the Roku.
In the past, I've had to hardwire my Roku's to my switch/router to get the performance I desired. Not so with the Stick! I love that I can just plug it into any HDMI port and I'm set to go.
A perfect way to watch TV without having to pay exuberant fees. But some of the APPs still don't work properly. While I am watching movies with ad's the movie doesn't start from where it stopped, but goes back to some point at the beginning of the movie.
