Don't get me wrong here I love the. The only issue they might have is over heating when using the tv usb connection. So far I've had to return 3 of them. same symptoms would come on to the home screen but would do nothing evse even re booting a100 time.... But I'm sticking with this little guy for a while. I'll keep a spare on hand for the price.
I bought it about a month ago, and it was a lot different than my roku 3. Much slower to respond, much slower to start. Then last week it just quit working. It would power on and after a few minutes I would choose where I wanted to go, it would start to go then it would power cycle or something and start over. Very frustrating. I tried powering it down for several days and when I powered it back on it did the same thing.
My boyfriend bought me a roku because we didn't want to pay for cable in our new house. Streams perfectly and has a ton of channel options, very happy with it!
I am a lady of a certain age, who wants to "cut the cable" and was really unsure as how to proceed.. this was simple to install, and easy to operate, took me no time at all. It is the first step in getting rid of my cable bill. Now I can stream movies and TV. Yes you need to join Netflix and I will most like join Hulu as well, but SO much cheaper..Next the Antenna...
I bought this streaming stick and so far it has been a delight to own. As some reviewers have said it takes about 30 seconds to load but I am still please with it and would recommend it to a friend.
