When connected, the unit works quite well and smoothly. However, I have had a problem where the remote loses sync with the unit and must be re-booted, Not a major task, but one that requires time to accomplish. Also when this happens, I have to re-apply to some sites again as a new user. This is a random occurrence, but one that frustrates. I am at a loss on how to fix it.
After purchasing the Roku 2, I realize that I needed another one. My second purchase was the Streaming Stick. Both are great for the price. I have had some trouble with the Streaming Stick, but after a call to support the problem was solved. The Roku is a great product.
I have enjoyed the using the new ROKU Stick to the maximum. It works so well with my Samsung smart T.V. , it does all that it is supposed to, and rather smoothly. I've used ROKU products for 2 years now, and I truly recommend their products, the new stick being my #1 choice.
bought it and returned it the next day! I personally think it sucks! all your favorite tv shows you have to pay per episode which suck! pay for this pay for that..not for me! I will stick with my rapberry pi! every movie you can amagine all cable channels100% free and legal!
We've had the Roku stick for about 3 months now. It replaced a wii that we used for streaming. Overall, we've been very happy with it. Pros: easy to set up Easy to use. My 4 year old can work it. Diversity of channels. We use Netflix, Amazon Prime, Vevo, and PBS kids, YouTube on a regular basis The stick is small and can easily switch between tvs if needed. iPad/iPhone app for when the kids misplace the remote or you just want to mess with your husband hogging the remote Con: slight lag time getting into the channels like Netflix compared to the wii. The wii would be on main screen faster. It's not horribly slow just a difference we noticed. Tv shows and movies stream great. Overall I would recommend it. I looked at chromed cast, apple, etc. before purchasing. I liked Roku because it offered all the streaming channels that we use. The others didn't have everything.
