I had purchased Roku boxes in the past & decided to buy a streaming stick for my new tv. We use it to watch NetFlix, listen to Pandora & to look up YouTube videos. I prefer the newer remote, as the buttons are plastic. Our past remotes, although still usable, were rubber buttons & broke off. My only complaint is that the remote batteries have needed replaced too often. I suggest purchasing, especially for those wanting a smart tv. It's much cheaper.
I plugged in the Roku Streaming stick a few months ago and it works perfectly! It is actually behind the TV so I never even see it. Everything I love to watch is on Roku, so life is good.
Roku is great I would recommend everyone to buy one that has internet . It is great to watch what you want when you want . That is something I have not experienced until now .
i bought this item because I had already bought the roku 3 and I like it a lot so I decided to buy the streaming stick for my bedroom tv and I would watch it before going to bed at first the remote would not work like it should you would have to hold the button for a min before it would recognize what you wanted to do then one day I went to go watch it and I turned on the tv and it started up like it always had nut it would not go to the screen with my channels on it instead it just kept trying to load or do what it does when you first turn it on and choose the source where it is on the tv to watch but it keeps trying to load and I just get the screen that says roku but never loads fully I think the product got to hot or something cause it does not work anymore I have tried pushing the reset button but nothing happen so I don't know what went wrong and I have looked at all the troubleshooting a nothing seems to work so I think I will just go get another roku 3 or something sence the other one I have hasn't really gave me to much problems
