Slow to respond....Have to jump through the reconnection hoops quite often....Some channels want credit card on file before offering trials...Some of the free chans put advertising right in the middle of the program instead of first or last...If I wanted this I would have stayed with over the air tv...
I want to first say that I have been a Roku customer for almost 5 years. I bought the version first of the desktop box and since then I have purchased one of those for my brother and both of my sisters. However, the streaming stick is a disaster. There are many ways that it can and should be improved. There should be some memory on the stick to cut down the amount of paging. The wireless chip is horrible and I could not use the stick unless I used the stick in the room where the router is.
Whenever they make some improvements, it will be a good product. Since one star is the least I can give the product, I will give it one star in all areas.
Once again, I want to state how happy I am with the desktop products.
I have this and a ChromeCast. The Roku is much more user friend and has many more channels available. The remote is also nice, whereas with ChromeCast you always need a smart device to use it. Although set up took a little longer than expected with Roku, after the initial set up it is so quick and simple.
I love ROKU! I have replaced my cable with Roku. Although I do miss my local sports stations, it has been a great savings for our family. We have great channel selections and I particularly love that I can scan the evening news and choose the stories that I am interested in. I also like that I can use my Pandora account on it.
