Love this little stick. I thought it may be a problem for my tv with the hdmi port in the rear of unit.... Would the remote work? Yep! Works fine no prob.
Great value and selection of streaming channels. I have Apple TV and Chromecast and 2 rokus. If I had to do it over, I'd only get rokus.
We've had a tiny amount of trouble with our remote, but we are very happy with the service. The home page is well designed and un-cluttered which I appreciate. We have subscription services now to Amazon Prime and Hulu Plus when we started it was only Netflix. We upgraded to more screens on Netflix also. It's made us more avid tv watchers which from a marketing standpoint is good for them, but making my family lazy :)
I cut cable and bought 2 Roku sticks. They are easy to install and operate and have a variety of apps to choose from. The one in the living room is permanent but the other I move from the bedroom to my office. The download speed is a tad slower than a Roku box but I like the mobility of the stick.
Set up is easy....lots of channels to chose from....most with a price or monthly subscription....Main problem is that it takes several minutes on start up to load....
