Easy to use and set up. The only problem I have encountered is that occasionally it will show that I don't have an internet connection even though everything else connected to our internet is working fine. I've had to unplug the streaming stick, wait a few seconds and plug it back in. Sometimes I have to do this several times before it will start working again. Other than that it works fine. I would like to see some more channels added.
We purchased this a month ago. The ease of use is awesome. BUT it only works with a secure internet connection. WiFi and when we are travelling do not work.
This is my 4th roku, and all of the others have been great. I was so disappointed with the stick. The picture was not as clear, and had problems with the remote, with the picture freezing off and on. I will be looking to replace with Roku 3.
I purchased my Roku about a month ago and I love it! The different movie, TV and music channels are phenomenal! Its so easy to use, I can switch from one channel to another in a matter of minutes. Its so nice to be able to rent a movie and never leave the comfort of home. Buy it! You will love it!
I like the portability of this. I have an original Roku but I prefer the new software firmware of this better. Appearance wise, it is bigger than it seems and sticks out of the left side of my TV which is slightly annoying (and is too big to fit into the HDMI ports on the back of the tv). (I wish they included an hdmi cable extension). Also, when the tv goes off, so does the roku's power source, so it takes longer to "boot up" when you restart.
We bought one Roku Stick about three weeks ago. Just bought another one this week because we were so impressed with it. The variety of channels is awesome. Now we can enjoy all Roku has to offer on both TVs. And in beautiful full HD. Thank you!
