Convenient enough.

Prior to this ROKU stick, I had to hook up my computer and an external set of speakers, which wasn't convenient at all. It's very convenient streaming Netflix, Youtube and Amazon through my TV. I enjoy great resolution and I also can hear my programs! The only thing I really don't like is Spotify's home screen. I wish it was more like my computer's log in screen. I can't stream playlists, I can't search for playlists that other's make. The best I can do is select an album, artist or song. The search feature isn't conducive to searches, either. I can't even really use the 'radio' feature. I actually pay for Spotify, and this is the biggest drawback for me of the ROKU system. I think you should collaborate with them to fix this. I love to stream music when I'm cleaning the house and the interface makes it completely useless. Finally, I like the pairing feature of YouTube to my phone (It makes it very easy to watch Youtube videos from my computer!), instead of typing out the letters of something.
I am very happy with the roku streaming stick. I was very surprised that it doesn't buffer a lot even though it's wireless. It just seems a little flimsy and when I switch it from one tv to another I'm afraid I'm going to break it.
