Bought a Roku to stream Netflix. I am sooo glad I did! My computer is slow and unreliable, really impossible to stream anything on. But I'm happy now:)) would have given 5 stars,but I think a flat bottom on the remote control would be easier to use when it is sitting on the table.
Bought it a month ago and turned in two of my time warner cable boxes. Now I'm saving money and get to watch an even clearer picture. The Twc app is wonderful on it and the a&e.
Well we bought this about a month ago and it quit working, about a week or so ago. We were tying to get onto Netflix and our screen froze. We could not go forward or backward. Just could not exit. When I felt the stick it was almost too hot to touch. So we unplugged it and I tried it again the next day with the same results. I will be returning it to the store I purchased it from. I don't know if I will get another stick or get an upgrade.
I've had this device for a few weeks now and I love the selection of content and the device itself works great. The only problem I've had is that the remote frequently stops working and I have to take out the batteries and put them back in to fix it. I've noticed that several other Roku users have the same issue. I still have that issue, even after getting a new remote. You could always use the remote app on your phone instead. The app works fine, even when the remote doesn't.
Except for the remote issue, I highly recommend the Roku Streaming Stick!
