I bought this ROKU online. I have used 2 other streaming devices, and the ROKU is much easier to use. It's USB Power can come right from my TV so I don't have to have another receptacle. I like the remote because it doesn't have to be pointed at the ROKU to make my selections. I will eventually buy another one.
I have owned a Roku product for years, and my original unit keeps on going strong. I bought the streaming stick version for a second TV. The new model is now on my main tv. Better resolution, easy to use and install, and so small. I love it!
I was impressed by all of the apps that are available to customize on my Roku. I also take it with me and use it at friends houses to watch movies and listen to the music channels.
I like the access it gives me to the programming I want to watch. It's very slow to boot up to the main menu and it often doesn't respond to the remote. It's cumbersome to get to previous levels/menus. The frequency that the feed loses the connection and the length of time it takes to reconnect is also frustrating.
