Consumer-friendly, weak WiFi Antenna/Receiver

Works as advertised...remember, this goes into an HDMI port, NOT a USB, AND, it needs a power outlet nearby, or a spare USB port on your TV to get powered. Had a glitch with sound...be careful which audio you pick...stay with the "stereo" unless you always listed through multi-speaker surrround, or you may get NO audio unless the surround is fired up. Weak, weak, weak wifi reception....better have a good signal nearby or streaming will be painful.

We had 3 Rokus in our house before we bought the streaming stick. Very convenient and easy to remove and take with you on trips. Great selection of channels.

I found the install a tad multi-step but once completed I have found its function ideal.

Love the ROKU stick!

I also have a Roku LT and a Roku 3. The LT is great except on certain applications, it is slow (Hulu...) which is part of the reason I got the 3 which is much faster. I was concerned with the Roku Stick that it would be slower but so far everything on it runs great. Which is also to say I love the Roku period! There are other similar devices but the Roku supports the most applications/channels by far. Great products all around.

Roku stick falls short of expectations

We have another Roku and decide to get the Roku stick for another TV because it is less bulky & would hide nicely behind the TV. We have wi-fi in our house and immediately notice a difference with the stick vs our other Roku. At first we thought it was because it was on another floor & the signal wasn't strong enough( it kept cutting out in the middle of viewing & would have to reboot). We switched the units & put the stick in a room closer to the wi-fi source and the problem was solved for the most part( we still had not connectivity problems with our other unit). In a nutshell the stick needs to be closer to the wi-fi in order to receive a consistent signal & not really worth the extra $$ to have a smaller hidden Roku device.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Didn't work

I have a Roku 1 and it works really well. I thought I would try a streaming stick because it would be easier to switch from one TV to another but most of the time it wouldn't work on any TV. I returned it and ordered another Roku 1.

Streaming stick..

I've been using the Roku streaming stick for about a month and love it. I've had no problems whatsoever. I love that I can move it with ease from one TV to another. The channel available are abundant so I can always find a move or tv show to watch. It is very easy to use. My 10 year old girls started using it right away due to the intuitive interface. If I could change anything it would be that the stick could get power from the HDMI port. Love it!
