roku 2 was better in some ways

I mostly watch Netflix and there's a few things that were better on the roku 2
1) the play from beginning button is gone
2) the text is smaller and hard to read
3) browsing movies and scrubbing is laggy

May or may not work well in your location

I have several Roku devices and had to swap the location of one streaming stick with an earlier model because of the earlier model's higher signal level for connectivity to my wireless router. Am very pleased with the product, but it would not work in one location in my home apparently because of wireless signal strength

Good, but not Great.

If you do not mind having to wait longer for loading, then this Roku is for you. I would say the average wait time to load apps/channels is around 25 seconds as opposed to the Roku 3, which takes around 5 seconds. Other than that, this works just as smoothly as the normal product.

Roku stick

The streaming stick was very simple to install and works fine. I use it in conjunction with a slingbox allowing me to watch my home cable on my vacation home TV without having to connect my laptop or iPad. The interface is pretty straightforward.

I pre-ordered my Streaming Stick before they were released. This is my second Roku and I use it on my 'main' 55" tv in the living room. My Roku 2 I move from room to room using it with newer HDMI Tv's along with my older antedigital generation televisions.
My streaming stick works great with my 55" Vizio as it has a HDMI port that exits to the side as well as USB that provides power to the streaming stick when the television is powered on. This means that the Roku has to boot up each time the television is turned on. If I used the USB power adapter that came in the packaging then the streaming stick would always be powered on just like the Roku 2.
I first purchased the Roku to receive a particular religious program, now I use it to get the news, weather and sports as well as movies from Crackle, Hulu, Amazon, and Vudu.
I cut my cable several years ago and have gone to OTA television. Here in the DFW Metroplex I receive 84 channels now the Roku allows me to complete my television viewing in style.
My only thought about making this even better would be the independent channels such as History, Disney, ESPN etc to allow you to purchase their programming independently instead of having to subscribe to a cable/satellite service to obtain full service.

We love it. We replaced cable TV with Roku. We use Netflix and Amazon Prime to watch everything we want.
