This little stick works great. I use to view netflix and other channels through a Blue Ray player. Bought the Roku stick and thought it wouldn't work that well. It works much better than the blue ray player. Planning on getting another one for the bedroom. Want to make sure I have an extra in case something should ever go wrong with the first one.
The stick works very well. You won't get all the latest programming or the best movies, but what you get works well. I like classic movies, but their classics are just B movies at best, with a few hits sprinkled in. They do offer pay services that I assume offer better programming. Also, their A&E and Animal Planet offer limited programming. I assume their other free major network services do the same. But, they do offer a lot of programming, and when you're tired of cable it's a nice alternative. Just don't think you're going to replace cable with this.
I can get programming I want to watch without paying for unwanted TV stations and commercials. The made by Netflix shows are something to look forward to
