Decided to switch to this from cable to save some money. Find myself watching more tv with it. It's a little odd that it needs a power source other then the tv (or the tv through the usb) but other then that it's only limitations are my wifi signal.
I have been more than please with my previous Roku product. But not this time. I was not pleased with this product. I bought it thinking I could easily set it up on any TV in the house and easily transfer it from TV to TV when needed. Wrong! It gave me the blue screen of death on every TV. Total waste of money. I now have to buy the old fashioned Roku box to get Netflix. A smart TV may be route since this last disappointment.
I purchased the product about three weeks ago and I've really enjoyed using it. It was simple to connect to the television and within minutes I was up and running.
I purchased my ROKU about a month ago. There are so many channels and movies and tv shows it is a bit overwhelming. Product works as advertized except for some loading delays which is probably due to the speed of my wireless connection. It would be nice to have some guidelines on best way to use the service. I have been just scanning the channels to see what is available. It would be good to know the free channels and those with a charge.
I have been very happy with my Roku Streaming Stick, we have the Roku 3 on another television set and didn't want or need another box. The streaming stick offers the same functions that we use with the Roku 3 box.
