I bought this HDMI version after using the regular plug-in at my parents house. The use is easy, price was great and I travel a lot so the size was ideal.
I am satisfied with the Roku Stick. It does everything that the other box style Roku does. My only disappointment was that I thought I'd have a wireless configuration with the stick but it still has to be plugged in.
At first, I thought this was just bunk technology that would latter become obsolete and end up sitting in a drawer. To my surprise the Roku Stick ended up replacing my satellite TV. Really easy to use and absolutely easy to install. The content is sublime and there's more being added constantly. Like I said there really isn't a need for me to have a cable/satellite feed. All I need is a wifi connection and a HDMI port and I'm done.
I bought this a few months ago to help replace my cable service. I love that it has all of the Star Trek shows and I just found Ghost Whisperer. I was really hoping all of the episodes of NCIS were available though. I'm working on my Mom to use her's more.
