Works well but has some random crashes. Limited TV

We've enjoyed this, and for the price I don't think there's anything better. However, we have encountered the system crashing and restarting sometimes when using the menus. Given the two or three-minute startup times, this is a bit annoying. It hasn't happened while playing any media (fortunately) but probably happens at least a third of the time when navigating the menus.
Most of the news and other "TV" features are clips and previews only. I'd like to be able to actually watch news on at least a couple of channels, even if we have to deal with commercials.
Overall we're happy with the Streaming Stick, but it's not everything we'd hoped for.
I am just getting started with using the stick. The music stuff is great! Still trying to get it setup to stream stuff from my PC. Found the app but have not as yet gotten it figured out.. The music is worth the price.
I currently have roku 2 and roku 3 . Wanted to hook three more up so I try the stick and it works great. So I purchased two more. Now we have them in each studio and lobby. Pirate Radio of the Treasure Coast loves Roku. PS also have three of them at home and otherS purchase them too.
I've been using this for over a month. Great selection and quality. The only issue I have is using multiple remotes. Once it connects to one remote I can't figure out a transition between smart phones and the regular remote. It'll leave me without a device sometimes. For the most part I'll use my Chromecast if I want to have control over my phone and just not open the Roku App.
