This is a great item. Bought it to replace my old Roku device. My only complaint is my old Roku box died after only 4 years. My 1st CD player lasted literally 30 years.
I took this along with us to the beach house on our summer vacation. Much easier to carry around than the others. After 5 minutes of set up we were watching streaming programs from Netflix and Amazon.
The roku was the best purchase that I have ever made! I have recommended it to 5 friends and they all went out to buy them. This is a great product!!!!
I bought the Roku stick on advice from a relative that used it well. I had great trouble with the internet upgrade I needed to make it work. I now use it, and enjoy it. It has allowed me to cancel Direct TV. My DVR that I purchased died, I have a replacement on order. Roku is slow it response to controls. I now love my Roku, but for broadcast TV I recommend, using with a DVR for broadcast television.
This product edges out GoogleCast stick in reliability. It costs a few bucks more, but is worth it. I purchased GoogleCast sis months ago and was unhappy with it's performance casting from my computer. Purchased the Roku stick a month ago and haven't regretted it, it serves as a media server for my computer and has flawless playback. My GoogleCast now sits in a drawer collecting dust.
