It was so nice to be able to watch Netflix on my second tv! The roku system also came with other opportunities I can try in the future. I didn't have any problems at all and the documentation told the truth!
I've had this about 2 months now and it works pretty well. There was a few times it lost the login info for my Netflix account and I had to log it back in. Also, it froze up a couple times, but that was remedied by unplugging and plugging the unit back in. Overall, it's pretty impressive.
As a college student with Netflix but no cable, the Roku stick is perfect for my TV-watching needs. I had no idea that they had so many channels available, and so many free ones at that! It was easy to set up and works reliably 98% of the time. The other 2% is when it has been slow/laggy or I've had to go back to the home screen and enter a command again--no major issues. Love it!
Overall I am pleased with the Roku streaming stick. The variety of channels is incredible! The only drawback is that approximately once a month it completely freezes up and then it has to be reset. This isn't too much of a hassle but takes a couple hours with the number of channels I have.
We bought this because we don't have cable and our blu ray was having trouble streaming Netflix. The roku is so much more than we imagined! It's so easy and has so many great channels. We've used the Google box and the Google Chrome. The roku beats them both hands down!
I have a roku 2 & a stick. The 2 works great but the stick is hard to get to start. Swapped p/s & tv's but no change. IF you expect your tv to work when the control is pushed don't get the stick get one of the other options. Roku is great the stick option is not
Love it and it was so easy to set up and use. I would highly recommend the Roku Streaming Stick. I bought this for the TV outside in case my grandchildren come over and want to play outside or swim and watch TV. I'm a Grandma and had NO problems setting it up. Two Thumbs UP!!!
