When purchased I thought it was great until I found out it did not work on older tv's. And of course this was after I already set up for the free trial on Netflix and other offers. So now I have to cancel all those trials. ....Roku should really stress which products work on which tv's....not everyone has or can afford a new TV. ...also Roku should inform customers about HDCP and its affect on the way Roku works. It would save time and aggravation. ....
I got my Roku streaming sticks about a month ago and love them. Easy to hook up and simple to operate. My elderly mother was able to navigate it with no problems as well. Big plus!
I bought the Roku stick about a month ago after I was unhappy with the Google stick. We needed to add a Wifi extender to our TV room but have had pretty great service since we did that. Still have issues with buffering but only during peak times. Love the remote!
I travel a lot and hotel cable is generaly bad so I bought the streaming stick. Overall it's very good but has one huge drawback. There is no browser so at hotels that require a web based authentication to get a MAC lease it will not connect.
