I bought this for my daughter about a month ago so that i could get my Roku back from her :) I have the box type one and thought we would give the stick a try. It is awesome and doesn't take up any space at all. The only complaint I have is that i have had to reset it like three times in a month or it will not play. Not a big deal, but a pain when you want to watch tv and have to get up click the reset and wait.
This has been by far one of the best purchases I have ever made as far as cable and streaming shows is concerned. You get the shows you need clear with wonderful amazing definition. The remote since of the TV amazingly and will never go back to cable again.
And by that I mean the ability to pause and even just walk away at the push of the pause button(get over it it is just one click) and as simply return to where you left off(at least on Netflix that is). One caveat, we live in New England and the Boston sports ar our one issue. It seems that NESN has that market and unless you are willing(we are not) to allow the cable back into your home then you are outta luck there.
