Somewhat Disappointed

We already own a Roku 1, Roku 3, and two Apple TV boxes and someone gave us this Roku Streaming Device as a gift. It was the most difficult to set up of any streaming device I have ever used. It was six or seven feet from my router and would not log in to the network. I took several tries to get it to connect. I never had this much trouble with the other Roku boxes. I was somewhat disappointed but at least I didn't pay for it...and I don't think I would ever buy one.
Bought on line, supposedly new but box had been opened. Had hard time getting remote to pair but works fine now. HDMI connector appears to be a little loose, ie wiggles, but works. I like the stick but wish there were more free new movies.
i bought this to watch Netflix, then when I set it up I found tons of great stuff to watch. only drawback is it wont work with harmony universal remote, and my wife doesn't like having to use 2 remotes.
I thought that by bringing my Roku Stick to my daughter's home we could use it to watch football and basketball games on ESPN. I could access ESPN on my iPad using their Internet access (that does not subscribe to ESPN), but could not access Watch ESPN on their TV using the Roku Stick. So much for portability.
