It worked great until a lightning strike toasted it. I suspect the surge came through the USB to Power cable. Unfortunately, my HDMI ports weren't powered so I had to have the ugly cable run from the stick on my wall mounted TV to a power outlet.
I've had this for about three months it is excellent but lately it's taking a very long time to get it running I do not know if it's the movie or what it is I have to keep pushing the button okay okay
I HAVE HAD IT FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND I LIKE IT. COUPLE OF ISSUES ARE IT IS AT TIMES SLOW TO RESPOND. SOME TIMES I HAVE TO UNPLUG THE POWER TO RESET IT. ALSO THERE IS NO CHANNEL TO ADD "COMCAST TV" ON DEMAND. OTHER THAN THAT EVERYTHING IS OKAY. I WISH I HAD BOUGHT IT SOONER
The Roku Streaming Stick is exactly what I was looking for. I'm able to connect it to my TV without any cables (expect the one that connects to the USB port for power). I have a choice of many channels and my favorites are amongst them. An added bonus was that I can stream video directly from my Ipad using a 3rd party app.
Got for my birthday - my hubby and son use it more, and my daughter enjoys. It is handy when I miss some shows or want to watch a movie! Easy to use, not a huge fan of the remote, but oh, well...
Im a big fan of Roku, owning the Roku 3 I decided to buy the stick for a second room/tv. My only annoyance is that its considerably slower (UI) than the Roku 3.
I bought this about a month ago and I found it exceptionally good. Very fast at accessing Netflix as well other services. This thing is faster that the apps that I have in my Smart TV. I use it instead of those mediocre apps. I was having trouble streaming with the TV and even a Blue Ray play that I have. Money well spent. I love it!!
