Like many of us, got tired of the high cost of Comcast. Got tired of the terrible customer service in person & on the phone. Got tired of my Comcast package not working, due to product failure on their end. I had read & heard a lot about Roku products & ordered my streaming stick. I don't regret canceling Comcast at all. I love the simplicity of the streaming stick. I watch what I want, when I want. I already had Amazon Prime & have subscribed to Hulu+ & all of my viewing (and kids & wife) are met. I also use an OTA antenna for local channels. TV isn't the center of my universe, but when I watch it, I want the most enjoyable experience which only Riku can provide.
I bought this a month or so ago and so far it has been working fine. It is really nice that this simply just can plug into a HDMI port in the back of the TV and can take power from a USB line that can also just plug into the TV in my case.
I have a roku stick. I was great for the first week. Now it freezes all of the time. I have reset it twice. The remote won't connect. The roku won't do anything. If I had not thrown the box away ( like I said it was great at first ) I would return it.
We have been using our Roku for six weeks now. We enjoy it very much. We are now cable and satellite free. I can spend hours just treasure hunting for channels and shows to watch
