Love my Roku3. Not Roku Streaming though...

First I have to say Im a long time Roku fan who had the 1, 2, 3 and the streaming.
From 1 to 3 everything got better at every model.
Then I finally saw the Roku Streaming that I though was jus the perfect format.
Small, light, does not require an external adapter....
My biggest disappointment is on UI speed. I felt I was thrown back to Roku 1 or something slower.
The UI is nice, but is not responsive and I felt a lot of lag on response and several hiccups to the point I felt the system was hanging on me a few times.
If you need to test how patient you are thats a good test, specially when you have to use the search box and type on letter at the time with erratic arrows.

Other than that if you are willing to the lack of responsiveness the product is good.
Nice features, pleasant UI and once the streaming starts you are good to go (until you have to pause, FF, etc.).

I got this as an upgrade from my 1st gen Roku in my room. I wanted to have one in the living room to be able to watch things with my friends and not have to unhook and move my 1st gen.
I LOVE IT! I was able to hook it directly in and plug the USB power into the other hub. So I never have to worry about charging it. It works great. The new remote took a bit of use to get use to. I love all that apps and watching my movies in the comfort of my recliner as well as my room now.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love my Roku streaming stick; I think it is the best value on the market today if you want Netflix. My only negative comment is that the instructions for use of the remote are rather vague and not clear. Otherwise a good investment!

I purchased Roku several months ago and was pleased with the ease of installation. I am delighted with the content and wide range of entertainment selections. Content continues to grow making ordinary TV watching obsolete. One negative is the remote which do not operate properly at times.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought my Roku about a month ago because I didn't want to pay for cable. I love all the features and the fast loading channels. I love being able to watch Netflix on my TV screen instead of on my small laptop. I recommend to any TV watcher!!
