Great for what it is but limited viewings options. We ended up going with another brand for our main watching tv. But we did keep this in our bedroom I expected to have more access to more shows.
I enjoy using my Roku, The device does get rather hot which concerns me, but overall fairly pleased. You other day the streaming stick kept restarting.
I got this for a birthday present after cutting cable. I still miss live sports but the Roku is awesome. I enjoy streaming Pandora through my TV instead of my laptop. I haven't even touched half the channels because I got 3 months free of Hulu Plus with my Roku. I can binge watch tons of shows. I also like the streaming stick because I can use it in my living room but then when I just want to be in bed, I can easily take it to my bedroom. I can't rave enough about this!!!!
Just got this for my extra tv and though it is nice it is not very user friendly. I had to get my computer tech to come and get into some settings for me. Granted I am elderly but I couldn't even get to my own choices. It was staying on my husband's. Other things too numerous to mention here. Once I got it working still hard to navigate to some areas I need to go.
the Roku has all the apps I was looking for plus the sound and video quality are excellent I had the amazon fire stick but returned it for lack of good apps.
It's hidden nicely behind my TV and people think I have cable because I watch all the shows. It has a powerful remote control which allows me to pause from a distance. it's serving me well and I could not be much happier. I hope those who have more than one roku player get a gift. Good job on the streaming device.
