I have a lot of the same apps on my XBox One but I still much prefer using this. So many app choices so nice and small and works perfect on a wall mounted TV
This is my second Roku. My first was the original that I still use on my big tv. This is used on a smaller one. They both work perfectly, and I no longer pay for premium channels on my TV. In fact, I cut my tv bill to the minimum since I can get what I want with minimum tv plus Roku.
The Stick works very well now that I solved the problem that I had on first use. I plugged it into 6yr old Vizio and had problems with it losing the connection with my router. I read online somewhere that sometimes there can be interference with some TV's, so after a few weeks I moved the Stick to an HDMI input on my Yamaha receiver and immediately my problem was solved. The Roku has not lost connection since I moved it. Wonderful.
I was a doubting thomas...always had cable and or a dish. I wanted to give Roku a fair chance to win me over so; first we purchased the Roku 3 and the day later the Roku Streaming Stick. What else can be said!!We love the ease, features and content that's always being added. You can keep cable, dish and everything else.
Great device. Works much better than any other device we have tried in the past. Full of features that you wouldn't expect from such a small device. Once it's connected to the HDMI port on the back of the TV, you dont even know something is connected.
I bought this about a month ago and am glad I did. I had no cable for a while and this kept us entertained. The setup was very easy even though I needed to use my computer with setting up my Amazon Prime, IHeart Radio, etc for viewing on the Roku. I don't subscribe to any other services so my viewing choices are a little limited but I can always find something to watch. I would recomend this for the price and ease of setup to anyone.
I got rid of cable, and was looking for something that can bring me movies, sports, etc. It's incredible! Great picture, sound. No lag totally satisfied.
