Fast great connection and a good looking UI. If I had to nitpick it would be the Mgo features. I always like the fact that Roku never gave any prominence to one streaming service over the other and placing Mgo up front is disappointing but not a deal breaker
The Roku is amazing. I have a Roku 2 and love it so much that I wanted the streaming stick version to take on the road. Unfortunately, it is not compatible with the way that hotels authenticate people on their network. So, not quite as useful as I had hoped :/
Have 4 Roku's in the house. The stick has intermittent problems. It drops the signal and is a very slow start often rebooting itself several times when turned on. There are times when it just drops the signal in mid-program and is hard to get restarted. Was on the live chat with a Teck from Roku for over an hour. We did all kinds of things. He couldn't figure it out either.
Not sure why I waited so long to get the Roku and replace my old system. It is super convenient to install and now I am streaming from all my favorites (Netflix, Amazon, Hulu). Remote is easy to use and works perfectly every time.
When I first rceived my streaming stick I loved how amazing and small the device was. However when I actually plugged it in it was an entirely different experience. The product is slow, and the wifi performance was terrible which in turn degraded the Netflix experience. I returned the unit and upgraded to the roku 3 and couldn't be happier.
