I bought this so we could continue to use our Netflix and Amazon accounts for streaming movies as our Wii had broken. It's great! It does take a little bit of time learning what all the keys do as there's not much documentation, but I really like it. It's pretty portable too, so I can move it to other TV's or even take it on trips if I wanted to. Definitely worth the money. Considering there's not much on my satellite service anymore, I've thought about discontinuing the movie channels and just using the ROKU.
I love this device. It's small, portable and convenient. Wish I would of purchased it sooner...but I have saved lots of money streaming various content with this device. I highly recommend it.
I was hesitant at first in buying the stick vs the traditional box since I already own two boxes. I like the stick because it does not require additional cords to plug it in. It's out of sight and it performs just as good as the traditional boxes. However, I do not like the remote that comes with the stick. The "OK" button is not where it should be and you'll find yourself constantly pressing on something else. It's also larger and heavier than the other remotes perhaps because its "brain" is now in the remote and not on the stick.
I bought this to rid my life of time warner cable and att uverse. I have internet and wifi. I love how it looks like there's nothing attached on my tv. No box, no wires, just the stick in the back of my tv and entertainment galore. Hi-diddle-lick-dal-dey-dee-shy!
