It was a father's day gift for both myself and my father from my mom. I was interested in it for Netflix in my room. Love it, wish other channels worked as well as Netflix and PBS. HBO GO is slow and has to keep buffering, but Netflix is pretty seamless. I haven't even touched on how many stations there are, I probably should do that soon!
The Roku streaming stick is a good buy if you don't want to buy a smart TV or you already have a TV that you want to add some features too. There are tons of channels you can find. My only complaint is that it takes a while to start up and even when running isn't the most responsive.
Pretty good for watching, as long as I remember to remove the batteries after use, and reinsert them for the next viewing. Otherwise without even watching anything even the best ones get used up within 2-3 weeks.
I enjoy being able to watch current episodes of our favorite British shows.
Roku works well, but has some issues with overheating. It seems to need to be reinstalled from time to time. Thankfully, that is easy and only takes a few minutes.
I have been watching this almost exclusively for months. I like it very much. It does what it is supposed to do. I plan on taking it with me when I go on vacation, hoping that I can use it at my destination.
I am very happy overall. Only issues are speed of starting when powered by tv and a little slow on remote response. That being said, a great unit and I would recommend it.
When I first hooked up my Roku Streaming Stick, Netflix would just load right up. Recently a movie will be playing and it appears it has to reload. I can't figure out if it is the connection or what it might be.
