We have had the streaming stick for about six months and I have had nothing but good experiences with it. It's size and unobtrusiveness help to relievethe clutter near theTV set. It's intuitiveness and ease of use are unequaled by similar devices. I also have a Roku 3 and have only one complaint with it. The earphones no longer provide the vocal for programs. Otherwise it has Ben functioning well for a year
I was forced into purchasing a new Roku streaming device. I originally purchased the first Roku offered for use but had to replace it In order to get the updated channels. It seemed that Roku would not update the software so I could get the new channels offered. So I looked into the models offered and settled on the streaming stick. It works fine, no problems, great quality ( as did the original streaming box). I hope the people at Roku update the software so I don't need a third unit!
I like the device but have issues that required me to constantly reset or update the connection. It worked good for first month but lagged some. Later on I started having problems. Sometimes amazon channel worked fine and netflix would not. Sometimes both would not work.
We purchased th ROKU stick six weeks ago, it was so easy to connect I was amazed. We used it for a week then went on vacation for two weeks. My young granddaughter was dog sitting for us and she had absolutely no problem with it. Sooo very easy!!! We lately had a power outage for an hour and a half with no effect on the ROKU at all. VERY pleased.
I bought this product a little more than a month ago and love it! I plugged it into my tv and the set up was simple. Within 10 minutes, I was streaming. The best part is that I can take it with me when I travel and watch movies everywhere I go.
It has updated features, I bought it for my son's room. I love the fact that it plugs into the port on the side of the wall mounted TV, it stays hidden so he can't reach it to mess with it. This is very user friendly. My son is 5 and navigates to his programs everyday without help.
