I am happy with this product. It allows me to watch Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube, and other apps at an affordable price without having a contract with a cable or satellite provider.
I love the fact that I find ever show I want to watch without paying for 100 channels. This includes classic shows I wanted to watch again. The Roku stick is extremely easy to use and setup.
I bought the Roku so I could watch Netflix in my bedroom and so I could stream workout videos i do onto my main TV from my ipad. I bought the Roku because it had a remote and got good reviews. Overall set u p was easy. I couldn't figure out how to cast my workout videos from the website i use so i had to download a 3rd party app in able to be able to cast the, That was frustrating to me since that is one of the main reasons i bought it. I believe you can cast from any site on the chrome. If you are able to do this on Roku i certainly cant figure out how to do it from other websites than you tube etc. i also signed up for the free movie that came from Google play when i purchased and the streaming quality was so low i could not watch it. that was disappointment as well. Overall i am good with the purchase but if i had to but another one i would probably try the google chrome for easier casting..
I bought this a month ago hoping to replace cable and it worked. I'm able to watch all my shows through the tv apps using cable subscription. Major money save.
I currently have Apple TV and the Amazon Stick and this Roku stick is almost my favorite out of the three. I especially love that you can add channels and apps.
