I bought this to replace an old roku box that was not keeping up with the advancements in HDTV. This unit was small, no external cabling other than power. The remote has precoded buttons for the popular providers like netflix, amazon, Blockbuster and morr.
I have had the streaming stick for about two months and it is so easy to setup and start using! Especially for Netflixing, I use it every night without any issues. My only complaint would be that I wasn't expecting it to include such a short a power cable, so we had to move our TV just to accomodate the power cord length.
I bought the roku stick almost immediately after it was released. It's mostly fast with the occasional stutter. It's extremely easy to use and it has a decent user interface. Even the least technically savvy human can plug it in and just start. The website and companion android or ios apps make entering text and configuring services a cinch. Loved it so much, I got a couple for friends.
I would not recommend the streaming stick. I purchased the conventional models as well as the stick, yet the stick quit working. I wouldn't purchase it again. I would purchase the original Roku Model which allows either HD or regular hook up
