I never streamed before. Setup was a snap. I was amazed at the amount of streaming programming available. I've used it everyday since I bought it about a month ago to view MHZ International mysteries. Now I view all kinds of content.
I wasn't sure how well this would work with my DSL, which isn't always as fast as I'd like, but I've had no problem streaming movies or listening to Pandora. It was simple to set up and I can use either the included remote or the app on my iPad.
The menu setup is better on the ROKU 2. Keep menus the same on all products. I like what ROKU does but should be the same, I use them mainly to access Netflix
I have had a few different streaming devices in my bedroom. All have worked phenomenal. I bough the Roku streaming stick and it works, but it stops and buffers a lot. I have a streaming XBOX 360 and Sony streaming blu-ray player in the house that are further away from the wireless router that have NEVER lost signal or stopped playback to buffer. The streaming stick was good for the price, but I would be upset if I had paid more.
This was a very good purchase for me. I do a lot of streaming and this Roku Streaming Stick is the best thing for the job! It is an awesome product and I think is the best product for streaming. Very quick and easy to install and set-up! Thanks Roku....
We really enjoyed using the Roku streaming stick. It is easy to use and has some great things that you can get through it. Our issues have been with the remote and device itself. The remote that came with it quit working all together. Changed the batteries, and it was not a battery issue. Could not ever get it to work again. We have instead be able to use the app on the cellphones and iPad to be able to still use the Roku. The issue with the device is that sometimes it doesn't seem to work and gets locked up. Seems to happen more frequently the longer we have had it and the more we use it. I do not think that this is a product that will last long.
