After a month my Roku streaming stick could no longer connect to internet. The name ROKU just bounces up and down. I have the Roku 2 that works just fine.
I have a Roku 2 and a Streaming Stick. I was reluctant to get a stick for the downstairs TV because I was afraid it would not be as good as the Roku 2. I have found it to be just as good. I use it on a 50" Samsung Smart TV every night and it works great, accesses all the channels I like (better channel selection than my Samsung Smart Hub offers). It functions easier and quicker than the Smart hub so I usually use the stick. The only issue (and it may be my slow internet and not the stick) is that sometimes it is very slow to respond when stopping a video or exiting. I am currently experiencing very poor internet speeds at times so this could be a function of that and not the Roku. I may get another one for the kitchen TV and for travel.
Very pleased with my Roku purchase. I haven't had any problems with it. Set up was easy. Roku offers so many viewing choices, both free and purchase/subscriptions. Still cheaper than satellite or cable TV.
I've had mine about six weeks now and it's got some way cool channels to offer for free as well as those to subscribe to. The coolest thing is the ridiculously easy install, I can handle some really difficult tech jobs most of the time but I installed this in about five minutes, the hardest part was getting to my hidden surge protector which is my fault, I'm the one who hid it. You can have some great TV with this item so don't be apprehensive, go ahead and get one, you won't regret it.
