Very easy to use! Just plug into the the HDMI port and switch your tv to HDMI input and it picks it up. Super fast and love the fact that you don't need to point the remote directly at it to work it. Very inexpensive I can get one for every tv in my house.
I bought my first Roku stick 6 months ago and enjoyed it so much that I just bought a second one for another TV. I love making dumb TVs Smart! Absolutely no problems with either Roku product.
Easy to use, when it works properly - I've had it for a month and after getting it set up I had no problems until one day the remote didn't want to work - after struggling for an hour or so I got it to work, only for the same thing to happen the next time I went to watch it. The other problem, they claim to have hundreds of free channels to watch - but a lot of them require you to sign in and to pick which cable provider you have, now why would you have a Roku to watch streaming services if you have cable? Some of the channels only offer clips of shows and not actual episodes, so you have to go to their website to watch full episodes. So if you like to watch older shows that you either never saw, or want to watch again its great. Overall the quality is good, I just wish that as many shows/channels were available as they claim.
I purchased the Roku Stick because I had bought a TV for my bedroom and wanted something to use that did not require me to pay a ton of money for. Installed it and except that it did not find my wireless right away, it was easy. The only thin I wish you had include was the headphone jack like the Roku 3.
