Cut cable. Have a "3" downstairs added this upstairs. Pluged it in + power from outlet and linked on roku.com and off and running. Like it as can just unplug and move tv to other bedroom no fuss no bother. One suggestion. It would be even greater with ability to power from HDMI port.
Love the Roku stick. However my remote keeps freezing and I have to take the battery out and put back in to get it going again. I use the app on my phone and it works fine. It would be nice if the app was more keyboard friendly though. Sometimes you can use the keyboard and sometimes you can't.
The stick functions great but the remote fails miserably. It constantly loses pairing with the stick and has to be reset. I've tried the procedures recommended on Roku's website, but they only work temporarily. I'll probably return it. I have a very old Gen1 Roku box that works flawlessly which is why I bought a second for the other room. I was going to purchase a third but I'm now looking for a different solution.
the stick lasted one day in our house...we don't even move the tv. now I have to hold the wire in place for it to work even for a second....then it goes out again....its a shame that with something so cool, the company just sent it out for purchase without even testing it....because if they did, the same would have happened to them!
I am happy that I switched to Roku instead of paying loads of money to the cabel company every month for channels I don't want! I would like to say that I have two streaming sticks and one roku 3. I am pleased with the Roku but one of my streaming sticks seems a bit glitchy at times. It just doesn't respond to the remote as quickly as the other streaming stick I have. Not sure if this is an issue anyone else has had but eventually it does respond to the remote, just takes a few minutes at times.
