The Roku Streaming Stick worked fine for a while, but eventually stopped working. It would show the channel screen, but when selecting a channel, like Netflix, it would just hang. I have other Roku devices that are not the Streaming Stick, and they have worked just fine.
I love the new options that I have, My only issue with the stick is that I have to pull the stick out of the port every time i use ROKU because for some reason the menu will not accept when I choose myself as the user and it censors my choices by not playing what I want, I have to pull the stick almost every single time I use it and then it plays my choice.
We've have our Roku Streaming Stick for about two months now and absolutely love it! It's easy to use and navigate -- just plug it in, set it up (that did take a few minutes), and go! We are now able to access many channels, including LIVE events like the Superbowl and the election debates. Seriously, we went three years without seeing any live events until we purchased our Roku. Also, PURE FLIX (Christian movie streaming service) only streams through Roku... now we can see it on our TV and not just our laptop. My only con is that the menu is sometimes slow to respond which may be due to our internet connection. I wish we had gotten this product much sooner.
I didn't know what a streaming stick was, at 62 I got the Internet thru phone company and router, so needed something to connect tv wirelessly and Roku overdid my expectations! Kudos Rocu!
Could not make my Smart Samsung TV understand I had a ROKU 3 installed in the next room. The Roku stick brought all I wanted to the new location and was economical too!
