Almost a five star!

Got the Roku for my December birthday. I love the programming and ease of use. It is my man cave TV choice. If the connector was a little stronger I'd give it a 5 star plus, but it bends very easily and I'm afraid it may not last without losing connection (breaking).
I received as a gift and can't use it on my older model TV. I am very disappointed. I didn't have HDMI port.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry you aren't able to enjoy your gift. If you have the gift receipt, you can exchange your Roku Streaming Stick for a Roku 1, which is the same exact price and works with older TVs using the standard red/yellow/white cables.
I love my Roku streaming stick. I live in N. Vermont where local TV is sparce. Roku is my window to whats going on. Just plug it in & I get hundreds of channels all in HD.. Thank you for saving me money on cable or dishes with stuff I never watch. Now I can pick & choose what I want.
I bought this device to watch my tv series and movies and I can't because is buffering every 5 seconds, it is very anoying. It is impossible to watch one movie or a TV episode. The set up is quite complicated for a person who is not computer literate.
I bought this product in the hopes it would replace my expensive satellite service. It's *almost* good enough. There's only one show my wife watches we can't find, and we can't get local news. If I can figure out a way to close that gap, it'll be bye-bye pay-for-service satellite!
