Do Not Buy the streaming stick

This model has a hard time receiving commands, frequently drops the signal in the middle of the show, basically just does not work. We went back to the old Roku box.
We purchsed two units and love them both! One on our TV in the Living Room 46" LED and the other one on a 19 inch LED in the bed room. The units work well and very fast but the best part is the way the remote buttons are located and their use! Good Job Roku!
We bought our Roku streaming stick thinking this would be a great addition to our evening entertainment, but it has turned into so much more. As a creative writer, I have discovered films and series through my Roku that I didn't even know existed and have helped me shape some of my own work. Taking up no space on the entertainment center and adding so much, this little device was well worth the purchase price.
This device will not work on TV's that are inside cabinets. You would be better off to purchase a Roku that has a cord so the device can be pulled to the front of the cabinet. If you are out in the open and close to your wireless ap, it works fine. If in a cabinet, you are better off worth the Roku 3, a far superior device. Even with the extension cable, the stick will cause you trouble.
Yes, I am very happy I bought the "stick". I already own the box but was interested in the stick for a small TV in my guest bedroom. Set up was very easy and I like not have the additional cords and HDMI cable. Did I mention I am happy I purchased this little guy.
Easy to hook up, easy to navigate, and easy to use! All around great product for streaming Netflix, amazon, and Hulu! Couldn't live without it now that we have it .
