works well over all, but the HDMI connectors are weak, and I found that having a speaker wire fall across it was enough to bend and break the connection. Fortunately, it is a standard connector and I was able to use a replacement that works well. Another issue is the device "freezes" every now and then, and needs to be disconnected and wait before reconnecting.
Purchased to update the previous Roku player which I trickled down to another person. Set up was a snap, and I had it up and operating 5 minutes after the UPS man left!
Although it is a convenient and compact little gadget, I am not really that impressed with the roku stick. I have to reset it very often because Netflix will not load and other channels take forever to load. Bought it for the convenience, it turns out to be very inconvenient sometimes.
Roku has taken a small box with barely any possible problems, and actually improved on it. The stick fits conveniently in an available HDMI port and brings you the beast streaming service available.
