I just installed this on Saturday and already love it. I have AT&T right now with a DVR. I never watch live TV so this makes watching great. I am cancelling my cable provider to save money and will just sign up for Netflix and Hulu. Works great. It froze once and customer support was great. I am so glad I tried this!!!
Great overall but very slow and have to reset lots

Great product but very slow (yes I have a high speed internet connection). We have also had to reset them numerous times because they (I have 2 sticks for tv's upstairs) freeze.
Having a great experience with this device. Easy to use, fast, I see what I want when I want. Such a great product at a reasonable price that I've recommended it to my friends.
I bought this as a surprise for my wife. We had a Roku I and thought it was pretty good, but the Roku III Streaming Stick was light years beyond it. The coolest thing is that it is USB powered and we have USB right beside our HDMI so no cord going to an electric outlet makes my wall mounted tv really look good. Also we have TWC ON Demand, HBOGO, Netflix, FoxOnDemand and many other channels to use making the tv in the bedroom without the DVR, as good as the one in the living room with one.
I purchased the Roku streaming system to listen to SiriusXM radio. It does not work well.
About every third time I access SiriusXM on my TV using Roku I need to sign on again. Signing on using the Roku remote is a pain. I do not have this issue when I access SiriusXM on my PC or Iphone.
The "Now Playing" function does not refresh like it does on my PC and Iphone. It displays the image originally selected.
I have a good wifi signal to my Roku device and have no problems with applications such as Netflex.
The music plays well which is the main reason I purchased Roku but the support/ancillary functions are very poor.
