I bought the roku maybe 2 months ago & cannot tell you how happy i am.. I also am very glad i got the Roku as now I'm able to watch one of my favorite series called "The Munsters" and many others not on Cable. The ease of the remote it comes with is just great & sooo easy to use so please don't change thing.
I bought and activated my Roku in Oct 1st 2015 by The end of February 2016 it stopped working. While I can see the apps the remote no longer will allow me to choose and activate my channels.There is no support and it is pricey not to have any options. No support other than try and relink the remote or purchase a new remote.
I like the Roku stick so much better than my old Roku. It is smaller and takes up no space on my tv table, the remote works with RF and has the shortcut keys to Netflix and Amazon, perfect. It was super easy to install and worked right away.
The Streaming Stick seems to have some glitches as the connection looses strength and the picture goes through instances of buffering. Initially I thought it was WiFi issue, but I have Roku 2 on my living room TV. So I tried the stick on that TV and same problem. Doesn't happen all the time, but enough to be a nuisance. The Roku 2 worked perfectly on the other TV. So I ruled out WiFi ad the problem. Returned the stick for a refund and as soon as that happens I will buy another Roku 2.
I bought a roku stick because the smart tv I have doesn't stream some of the services I want. Whil the smart tv has no problem connecting to and streaming through my homes wif network, the roku stick did.
We haven't had this that long but love it so far. I like that it is very portable as we spend time in hotels and can bring it with. Not great for little children though as they can break it buy playing with it while plugged into TV if you aren't careful.
