I bought the roku stick but found when I got it that the bulk of the stick would not allow proper insertion into the hdmi port. After getting a 90 degree turn adapter, it now works wonderfully. I enjoy that I can use my tablet with netflix to change what is showing on the tv.
I get really frustrated with the buttons on the remote. sometimes you have to press so hard to get a reaction and that really slows down the speed when trying to type something in search, since that processs is slow already, i.e.,(for finding my favorite dance duo) tap, tap, tap, L tap, tap, tap E, tap, tap, tap, S, tap,tap,tap, etc. (that's for Les Twins). most times I will just search for something on my laptop, Great product, but ease of use, not good for me.
I bought my Roku Streaming Stick a month ago and I love it. The easy setup had me using the product quickly and I found SO MANY movies and TV programs to choose from. I'm very glad I bought it!
I'm on the verge of sending this back because I cannot get it setup properly, and when I think I do, and try to access Netflix (with an existing account mind you), it won't pick up our wireless (which, I've entered and re-entered a gazillion times). other devices have seriously NO issues connecting to our wireless so I really don't know if it's a faulty device or it's just not the fit for our family. I initially purchased this for my husband to use the NHL App to use his Game Center Live package to watch his Blackhawks out of area since we're not in the Chicagoland area. It just doesn't want to work. And we liked the stick idea because we had anticipated being able to move it from our TV in the family room to the TV in the bedroom - but nope. Does not work that way unfortunately. Fairly disappointed...
I also own the Roku 2 device. So when I switched to the stick I was able to still enjoy the features/apps but in this compact device. I really do enjoy these devices.
Took way too long (i.e., several hours) for the initial set-up for this device. For instance, after submitting the Roku set-up code, it seemed like it would never connect. So frustrated, I finally had to call customer service to have them set-up the Roku. Setting up my Smart TV was extremely PAINLESS compared to initially setting this up. Once the set-up was complete, smooth sailing. :)
