I bought my Roku Streaming Stick three months ago and I am very happy with it's performance. I can carry it in my pocket to connect it to any TV and enjoy its features.
I bought this stick thinking I could save a few dollars over the Roku3. I had a Roku3 and wanted a second choice. Because I have signal strength issues it is better for me to use Roku3. The Stick is not as strong as the Roku3. It is smaller and easier to hide but that is about it.
Loved it . Worked great for several months. Right now the remote is not working and I have reset it and unplugged it many times and I cannot get it to work. I have also tried sever different remotes that I know work on the other Rokus...no luck.
I own other roku models, including Roku 3, they are permanently installed in our TVs and we love them all. I got the Streaming stick a couple of months ago for my daughter who is a paramedic. During her 24 hour shifts they may have some down time in between emergency calls, so her Roku streaming stick has become part of her everyday gear. She just plugs it in any of the EM stations TVs while waiting for calls, so she and her coworkers can enjoy watching movies and streaming music that helps them pass the time and alleviate stress on the job.
Bought roku streaming stick two months ago, had no problems installing and works fairly well. Excellent reception. freezeies ocasionally needs fine tuning in that area. otherwise works fine.
