I've had the Roku stick for 3 months, worked great until today. Now all of a sudden it keeps rebooting. I had to go back to my old Roku box. Not happy!!
I bought this for my son's room but wound up keeping it in the living room. I love that there are no extra wires to deal with. Makes it easier to transfer from room to room or take on trips. Same great product for a lower price with less fuss.
I have 2 of the older Roku's and love them. I purchased a stick for a new set and have been frustrated with the remote. Sometimes I have to get up and walk around to the back and point the remote directly at the Roku to get it to work.
With the exception that there are many apps I can't use since I do not have a cable subscription, I truly enjoy having Roku in my home. It was so easy to set up and compact to store.
This stick takes a while to boot (like a minute or more) when you turn the TV on, but after that, it's quite easy to use and find shows. There's lots to choose from. Don't bother with the Android app. It's useless.
I bought the Romulus stick two months ago for my daughter. We have spent a lot of quality time together watching her shows of course. Its all that I want and more. Worth every penny.
