I have the Roku 3 and the Stick. I was using the Roku 3 and all was well, then switched to the Stick and video had to keep buffering. I was able to boost the speed of my wireless connection and everything worked well again. Just needs fast wireless. I believe the speed of the Stick is just slower and reception not as strong.
The affordable Roku Streaming Stick opened up a world of content for my wife and I and though we had problems with wifi signal strength that we overcame by adding an Access Point down stairs.
Just make sure there are no thick walls or great distances between your stick and the wifi router/ap.
Bought this because I was tired of tethering my laptop to my TV. I must say it was a good buy. All my channels in one spot. I subtracted a star because you need a cable or satellite subscription to view premium channels. There should be a monthly fee for those channels because everybody don't have cable/satellite. Nonetheless I will be purchasing another Roku for my other TV.
I bought my Roku a month ago. The pictures, music, movies, videos, etc. Is well worth the money. I only have basic cable for news, but I love the Roku for movies, etch.
I bought this a couple months ago and am very glad I did! I was using Netflix through blu-ray but it was not reliable for some reason. Now I can count on consistent streaming of programs. Very easy set up, done in just a few minutes. Love it!
