i do not 'game'. the stick, at a lower price, has proven to be the perfect roku for me. i have two roku 3, and i wanted to try a more portable roku for my vacation home tv. this tv is a old clunker. i use a power source from the wall. i purchased a usb cable, but the tv does not offer enough power.
I was greatly impressed with my first purchase that I have located in computer area. This was set up for use in my living room. Works great! Was so happy that I purchased one for my upstairs bedroom, now the problem, can,t get a strong signal to work properly.
Not a big TV watcher but occasionally want to see something without commercials. This fills the bill as inexpensive and simple. Am an Amazon Prime member.
I do not write reviews, BUT I do want to laud the Roku. It is doing just what I wanted. I had a special channel I wanted to watch and it comes in beautifully. Other channels come in perfect and the quality makes them enjoyable to watch.
I have three Roku units, one for each TV and I love them all. I have listed all three units below. They are so easy to use and all work great! 1. Roku 2 w/ remote 2. Roku Streaming Stick w/ remote (HDMI Version) 3. Roku Streaming Stick for HDMI/MHL ports
