I bought this several months ago for our 2nd TV, since we had a Roku 2 already. I like the small size, but it didn't fit in the HDMI port since the TV case was too close. I had to purchase an extension cable to use it. It works great and was easy to set up once I had the extension can cable.
I've had this now for about two months and couldn't be happier with the product. Before I bought the Streaming Stick, I had an old computer plugged into my TV acting as a streaming media player. While this worked, it was clumsy to work with having a full keyboard to deal with, and it took forever to boot up. Now with the Streaming Stick, all of my content is available within seconds of turning on my TV, and the remote control couldn't be easier to use. I did find that powering the streaming stick from the TV's USB port didn't work out too well as it took about a minute for the Streaming Stick to boot up after I turned the TV on, but it works fine when powered from the wall. I've also had a couple of times where the Netflix channel has locked up and forced me to use the "reset" button on the device, but not very often. Overall, I'm very glad to have this device because it makes life without a cable connection much easier.
My son gave me the Roku as a gift. I can access Vudu, Netflix, Amazon Streaming Video, You Tube, and even have Facebook on it. It is a simple plug and play that uses the wireless internet signal in the house. I can move it easily from the living room to my bedroom. LOVE IT!!!
This is my second Roku device and nevertheless it's hardware is more limited in comparison to Roku 3 it work alright in general. The only problem I am experiencing with my Roku devices is that I am unable to access the Vudu Chanel and being unable to access my Vudu collection and renting and purchasing services.
Works well, compact and hidden behind TV. Only issue I have is that it will reset Vudu settings every few days so I have to re-login. I have it connected to TV power source so every time TV is turned on Roku stick is on also.
