I bought this because it had a remote and I knew that the Google Chromecast did not have a remote. I have been very happy with this product since I bought it. It makes watching media on my PC very easy and enjoyable. The selection of channels is awesome.
great, but I have to keep going to the stick and shake it or pull-out and replace for reception. where? back of tv at the hemi jack . thanks for asking.
Wanted something small for a TV that already has satellite service and love it! Works just as well as the bigger Roku on our other TV. It was so easy to set up & gives us so many more options.
I am so glad that I bought the streaming stick. Not only is it cheaper than the other kind but it's quick and easy to use. I have over 200 movies and TV shows. I LOVE IT! THANKS ROKU!!!
It doesn't cast every app with the cast icon like chrome, but i'm able to work around it. I have to down a movie to my phone then use a different app to cast it.
Other than that its awesome, i like that i can watch wwe network, something i couldn't do with chrome.
Unit locks up and I have to unplug the power so it will recycle! Have yet to get netflix to work, all I get is the logo and none of the buttons on the remote will remove it! Have to hold remote up above sitting position to change functions!
Works a little slower than the Roku's 1,2,&3. The main issue is the weakness of the USB plug base which is not very robust. Needs a socket that allows a completely vertical or horizontal flat position to protect the device, otherwise it breaks easily.
I love the streaming stick. I have had at least 3 previous Roku's. Sometimes it's hard to find space for components, especially if you want to wall mount a TV. The stick does EVERYTHING the stand alone unit does in a tiny, space saving stick. I will be buying these from now on. Great product!!!
