I got this when I was out looking for the regular Roku. They were out of the standard Roku and worked out for the best. The Roku Streaming Stick works just as well as the Rokus I have used in the past. Also saved money by not having to buy an HDMI cable. My only complaint and why I did not give it 5 stars is that when I use it, it takes a little longer to start up than the box but never more than a minute so not bad.
The annoying thing to me , is some channels cease service and other's do not load , but overall it provides a greater viewing package than satelite , especially to have programing from yesteryear . It should be revised , so that it will play any content from a pc or mobile device through a wi-fi connection .
I really like my roku stick. There are apps for just about everything you could want. Some of the apps themselves might need a subscription to use (HBO GO, TWC), but that's pretty much expected and doesn't have to do with the roku itself. One of the features I wish it had was different profiles. It would be nice to be able to, for example, buy my parents a roku stick and be able to just login to my account. Maybe that would be better off with the individual apps. I would also have liked the remote to have a headphone jack like the set top box does. I am very satisfied with the product.
I bought this to stream video from my phone to my tv works great for that. When I get the chance to connect to wifi works great for that also. Small easily goes from place to place only wish it had the earphone plug in the remote like the roku 2 and 3 do
I've cut my cable bill by $40. a month. Now just pay for basic because Roku has so much to watch. Not exaggerating about the variety. Easy to use. Keeps me busy for hours.
