I am liking my Roku so far very much! It was fairly easy to install. I like having the choice to go here when I am tired of regular TV, or there is nothing on.
I love the choices of entertainment. I have been disappointed only once. The series, Dark Shadows, was not complete and left me hanging on the edge. I do hope you will acquire the rest of the programming.
I purchased this about a month ago. I purchased this so it could be used in different TV in several locations if needed. I get my regular TV by antenna from Houston, which is 70+ miles away, still use my C-Band Satellite for paid subscription and FTA (Free to Air Satellite) for wild feeds etc and do have a old blue-ray wi-fi ready that I had been watching Netflix. the Roku stick appears the wave of the future if you have older TV sets.
We have had it about a month and getting use to using it. We really like it so far. The only thing is the other night we had sound but no picture. Don't know what was happening then, but it has been ok since
I really like the ability of not having a box around, only problem is, the stick is kind of heavy for the little HDMI plug. So now after just about a month the stick is leaning down, which affects connectivity. Sometimes, my screen goes purple because the stick is falling out of the plug. I adjust it and it works well. Please, any advise on how to fix the plug now that is kind of loose inside the stick?
Also, it is pretty slow to start up.. I timed between 2 to 5 or even 7 minutes before I can see a purple screen, that then takes about 2 more minutes to show the full menu..
It's affordable and worth every penny if any thing goes wrong it's easy to get it going again I have rokyo 3 & the stick and will be getting more for my family
