I bought this to use on the TV in my home office. I also have a Roku 3 and was very familiar with Roku products. The stick works perfectly and provides a much better interface than the one supplied with my Samsung TV. I decided to use the power supply rather than take power from the USB jack on the TV. This method avoids the boot up time necessary it started cold. Stick was easy to install and has worked flawlessly for me.
I love the compactness and neatness of no wire. It is ver easy to take to different tvs.
I use it all the time for all my tv streaming viewings.
I also have the normal Roku and both on the upstairs and down stairs work fantastic. But when I travel, the stick is very compact and easy to take with me to keep on watching all the stuff I like.
I bought this a few weeks ago and I'm really liking it. I signed up for DailyBurn, which is an awesome exercise program that has its own channel. Hulu and YouTube are nice to watch on a big screen instead of the laptop. My only complaint is that the remote and stick stop communicating sometimes for some reason and I have to unplug the stick to reset it. Not a huge deal, but a little annoying. Searching for shows is also a little tedious compared to a keyboard.
We use the Roku Streaming Stick in our Airstream while camping. We have Verison MiFi Unlimited wifi. We love watching Netflix where ever we go!! Best money ever spent!!!
We have been off of Comcast TV for over two years, and love it. Between Roku and Over The Air (OTA) we have a much better experience for nearly nothing. Now you can plug this stick in a spare HDMI spot on your tv and be on Roku tv in minutes.
