I've had the stick for a month and over all I'm happy, it does loose connection from time to time and u have to have an account for most things before you sign in buy over all I'm content with it
I needed to Velcro the stick to the bottom of the wall mounted TV because the signal was weak and had no reception when plugged behind the screen, directly into the USB port.
I love the easy way you can tap into many streaming channels and the quick way to connect. I travel a lot and in most cases Roku can be connected and up and running quickly.
My only complaint about this product is that I can't stream my Comcast cable service through it. Comcast gives me the ability to stream cable on any internet connected device in my house, but I can't get it through Roku. I also tried the screen mirroring capability, but it didn't work with my computer. The sound comes through but not the picture. I noticed there's a Time Warner Cable app. I'm not sure what it does, but I wish there was a Comcast app.
This stick is great for my needs and with the Sling app I can watch all my favorite live broadcast without cable or satellite. I have found a tremdous savings in cost over renting equipment to watch TV. This compliments basic cable or OTA reception with a subscription to Sling TV, which now offers HBO for an additional cost. Roku is the best streaming device I have found to fit my love of movies and TV.
We love our ROKU especially with our ROKU ready smart TV. It is so much better than being tied to Cable or Satellite TV. With the huge variety of channels and programming we have been moving more and more away from our satellite service. We now have only a basic package on Satellite and get all of our premium service over ROKU, including our MLB/TV channel.
