Slow load

Not a bad purchase, but it is slow to load movies. Using the remote too fast will cause it to stall and sometimes unplugging the device to allow it to recycle is a solution. On some channels there are some movies that will not load or sometimes will only play part of the movie. If you don't pay for the ad free selection you will see the same ads over and over again, which is a form of slow torture. Many of the channels have the same old movies. On the plus side, I enjoy many of the old "B" movies where the acting and the directing were hilarious.
Love the roku stick I have smart tv also but rather use the roku it has many more choices of channels and also has closed caption for my hearing impair husband. I would recommend it to anyone!!
I love this product. I needed a way to stream in my bedroom and this works great most of the time. I have had a coyote of times when it would not pick up Netflix, but it may have been my provider.
I bought the Roku Stick a few months back. Works very well, loads fast,great price, nice selection of apps. I only have a few problems, it never really turns off, the stick itself gets very hot, and it just barely fits in the tv slot.
