Overall this device is good, but there are a few issues. HuluPlus doesn't seem to work very well as videos won't load at times and causes it to completely crash. The form factor of the device is also a bit odd, it's slightly too long and sticks out the rear of the TV making wall mounting difficult (this is on a new Sony LED). It would be nice if the device was about an inch shorter in length so it wouldn't stick out of the side of the TV or would allow me to mount it flush with the wall. The other issue is the small lag it seems to have when clicking through the menu items.
I bought the Roku Streaming Stick in February-2015. I really love the product but have an issue with the remote control. I had to reset the remote every two hours as it was freeze. I finally set up my smartphone to work as an alternate and the problem was solved.....thing is I shouldn't have had to do that....which is why I only gave 3 stars.
Got this as an alternative to the whole box for my wall mounted tv. Wasn't sure how it would work behind the tv but it has been awesome. I would recommend it to anyone that has a wall mount, or any tv really, but very nice not having to worry about hiding wires.
I bought the Streaming Stick about a month ago and I thoroughly enjoy the features. The only drawback is the HDMI hardware. It needs to be stiffened up.
I bought Roku over a month ago so I could get rid of Cable. I found it very easy to use. But what I do not like it that I have used my Roku maybe 5 time and 4 out of 5 of those times I have had to replace the batteries in my remote and redo the set up process. Its a bit annoying. I will be calling to see if this is normal (I doubt it is).
If it wasn't for the fact that have to have cable in order to get our basic channels, I would drop it and just use Ruko. We haven't any problems so far.
