Bought a Roku Stick in January 2016. I liked its mobility but became increasingly frustrated by it freezing up. A call and a chat with Roku got it working, I had three more freeze ups that I successfully cleared. I have since replaced it with a regular Roku box
Bought one over a year ago.Slow but works well. The other I bought less than a year ago. Finally tried on my other TV which works great on Cable but has convergence when switched to ROKU and cannot be corrected.
it would not connect to a small TV in our spare room even with a different cord - eventually got it to work on my son's larger TV although it was a tight fit into the HDMI opening - it connects more slowly to the remote control than the larger transmitters
I was not home enough to look at cable and could not justify the expense. With Roku, I have a variety of shows to look at as well as good music to listen to. I am glad that I purchased the product.
I got my roku not to long ago as a gift and i really like it. 4 stars bc.. On the Disney channel one it's won't let me watch the an air now and newest episodes it will say an error. And I really like that Pandora is on it!
The stick seems to retrieve a lot during play. I have 300mps internet and this still happens too much and makes for watching a show or movie very annoying.
On my second Roku Stick. Works for a month then stops. Same happened with the first one. Checked a variety of internet and network connections. Shows that it's connected to the Wifi and internet but none of the apps will work. After initial setup, both Sticks worked fine. Without changing any settings, both stopped connected to any apps.
