I have never been as happy with a media entertainment source as I am with Roku. Choices are superb; viewing options are easy to choose; maneuvering is easy. Highly recommended.
I have a Sharp Smart TV with Netflix built in and several Android devices. Then I joined Amazon Prime and found I couldn't watch the videos on my TV. Roku to the rescue. Just plugged it in and there are the Amazon movies and all the other content.
Always works, streaming has no problems, simple to operate, no big box, just plugged in and followed instructions, was up and running in 5 minutes. Looked at all the rest and this was the best. Never looked back and this has more channels than anyone else and I can access my amazon prime from Roku, AWESOME.
I bought this several months go primarily to watch my Amazon Prime. Because I don't use it regularly when I do go to use it, it takes a little to "boot" back up. Once it is connected and working it works great. It is great that I can move it from one T.V. in the house to another with no problems, it sure beats having to hook my computer to the T.V. It would be nice if I could stream my laptop to the T.V. through it but no big deal I new that when I bought it.
The ROKU stick was very easy to set up and comes with a handy remote which certainly makes it easy to use. The only bothersome thing about it is that there is no "off/on" capability and sometimes when I turn on the TV and switch to the ROKU, it's frozen and I have to re-boot it (e.g., unplug it and replug it in again). My other option is to unplug it after each use. Otherwise it works much like the regular (non-stick) ROKU module.
