This is the third ROKU that I've bought and couldn't be happier. I use all three in different parts of the house. The ROKU stick is so convenient and easy to use.
I appreciate the user interface...easy to navigate around. The room for improvement is with the connectivity. It's hard to know whether a connectivity issue is due to my internet connection and/or the router, but the pattern I've observed is that several days after plugging the stick in we start to observe that we get more and more interruptions when streaming. When I unplug the stick and plug it back in, the connectivity issues seem to go away for a few days.
I bought this to replace my 4 year old apple tv. After hours of trying to hook it, it still would not keep the connection in the bedroom where the apple tv had worked. Out of sheer desperation, I threw it and the package away, and reconnected to old apple tv which worked just fine, found the wireless with no hassle, and streamed perfectly. I am not a fan.
I would have given 5 stars but i recently had to 'reset' both the remote and the stick...the instructions say nothing about what happens if they somehow quit 'talking' to eachother. I have had the Roku stick for about 2 months or so. other then that this has worked great for Netfix.
