I bought a Roku so that we could watch TV in bed without running more cable through the walls, attic, basement. We have a good Wifi router, and the system seems to work adequately. I love the fact that Roku provides such a wide variety of stations to choose from, but my wife hates it because you can't just sit and flip through like cable. It would also be nice if the cable company provided an app so all of the channels that we are currently paying for would show up.
I own the Roku 3 that I use on one of my TVs and it is great, but when I bought the Roku streaming stick a month or so ago I wondered if something so small would work. The answer is: it does and I like it much better than the Roku 3 if only for the fact that it's hidden behind my TV. It does everything the Roku 3 does at a cheaper price. I recommend this to anyone interested in Roku products.
not worth it. even with high speed internet, everything we tried to watch had to load or buffer. also, only clips and trailers of recent movies and tv shows are only available unless you have a subscription. And we were really really hoping MeTV was available.
My only regret is that I didn't purchase one sooner. I had a competitor box version for a year prior and had nothing but problems. I have been very pleased with my roku purchase and the best part was it was half the price of the other!
I had my doubts about this product, but after I tried it out I loved it! It's so convenient and I can take it to any TV in the house and then I can stream to that TV. Highly recommend
You will find just about everything you want to watch on the Roku. The Streaming Stick works just as well as our Roku 2. We have finally cut the cord and only use the Roku. No going back for us.
