Like anything else it's a learning experience. But it is easy once you figure it out. I was streaming with my Wii but the Roku is easier and better quality.
I have two Ruku devices at my house and both work extremely well. They are the best thing that I have found out there to stream movies through your wireless internet.. They are so easy to you my 7 year old granddaughter is an expert on it. While you can purchase a chrome cast or other for less and I have one but, you are much better off going with Ruku.
I think the Roku Stick is a good device with lots of options. However, like with most things it could be better. Starting the stick up is slow and takes a couple of minutes. This means I start the stick, leave the room to do other things, then come back to watch what I want. Not the most convenient system in that regard. The menus are nice and simple, and so is the remote. There are times though, I think for power saving reasons, the remote is not responsive at first. Overall I like the product, but as stated previously it could be so much better.
