Good Day everyone! The Roku is a awesome device that provides great streaming entertainment to you. It is great if you like watching your paid services (netflix and/or hulu) on the tv, have good internet with wifi, and do not have a smart tv. I have encountered it freezing a couple of times. I had to unplug the device for a minute then plug it back in. It took awhile for it to restart, but it did.
This device is great! I really love the easy remote and the fact that I can watch Amazon Prime videos. Two problems though...the HDMI connection is loose fitting in the HDMI slot on the TV, which can effect the connection. Also, I have lost the connection to the remote. It had to be reset.
The Roku stick is nice, but doesn't eliminate the need for a cord--the TV is mounted above the fireace and still shows a cord for power. Also... I'm okay with new layout, but the Netflix platform didn't allow me to access my catelog. After :45 I gave up and went to the other Roku room.
this was a great part of that we have made. I use this in my child's room and it is very handy and it was very inexpensive. I currently stream hulu plus, Netflix, and pbs Kids. so this was a perfect option for my family. I would definitely buy another one for myself.
I love my Roku, It was so easy to set up, plug it in-set it up online-off you go. It really is that easy. I was already on Netflix so I just put in my login and password, typed in the WiFi code and I was ready to rock and roll. I love my Roku and it is the best thing I bought this year apart from my tablet.
