It's a good added accessory to any TV. How ever ... It's too sensitive on the controls. And the " ↻ " return button does not work! The "bluetooth" control works good, I like it! But I wish I hod bought the one that had "earphone" capeibilites:•( Do you take trade in's?? ᵒᴥᵒ
I bought this product about 3 months ago and it works great. This is my second Roku device and i think they're best streaming product on the market. I have the Roku 3 and it's been great since i cancelled cable. The streaming stick provides you the option to take it with to other places if a wireless connection is available. The wifi connection is great but it depends on the internet speed. I experienced some minor issues when the device is plugged into an HDMI input but i found out it was my TV that is having the problems. I plugged the device into other TV;s and it worked fine for long periods of time. Recently, i took it on vacation where my family experienced it for the first time and we had a great time watching silly videos and some old TV favorites.
I bought this for my bedroom TV and found that it wouldn't fit because of an unusual positioning of the HDMI inputs. So I installed it on the living room set and have ended up replacing the AppleTV that I used to us all of the time. The new remote is great, particularly the button that jumps the play back five or ten seconds. Use it all the time. The big selling point is the number of channels. Nothing else can hold a candle to Roku.
I had an old Roku and it worked fine. But this Roku stick is much better. You do need a fast internet speed, though. This one has a search function, which I take advantage of all the time. Since it saves your searches, you just need to go to the search screen and look for what you normally watch.
Best electronic entertainment product I've bought.

I bought this a month ago and it's the most effective, hassle-free entertainment product I've ever purchased. I no longer use Dish Network or any type cable entertainment.
