I updated from another model thinking I would not have any more "loading" problems. Generally this is true, but there are still issues. Also, I've noted when there is a dark scene, the ROKU goes dark and I can't bring up the brightness for that scene. Not sure what the problem is. It still takes time for this new ROKU to spool up.

Bad responsiveness slowed to a crawl on update

It wasn't very impressive, especially the 35s just to load the Netflix app, but it worked tolerably, until the firmware update about a month ago. Now it's deadly unresponsive. Hitting pause takes 2-5s to take effect, hitting the rewind 9s button is simiarly slow, and then the presses made waiting for a response all slowly happen. It's pretty disastrous - we more or less can't rewind etc..
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased the Streaming Stick (HDMI), about a month ago. It's one of the best decisions and investments I've made to be more than adequately informed with current news, education, and entertainment. The variety and availability of programs is so vast, I will probably only use a fraction of the channels. After the original purchase of this Roku minus any modest subscription fees to particular channels, the monthly cost is basically nothing - it's all accommodated through my internet provider. The support staff is prompt, courteous, and thorough.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've had the streaming stick w/remote for less then a month, and it just stopped working. I changed the batteries, unplugged and reset stick and still nothing. Very disappointing.

<3 this product!! Like a prerecorded TiVo! Gives u the control to watch what and when u want! No commercials, no cliff hangers...catch up on a whole season or just a few episodes ...all on ur schedule! Did I mention no commercials, no brainwashed requests (from my preschooler) for cartoon character foods or sugar laden cereals! All his favorite shows from Nick Jr., Disney Jr. Baby First, Sprout and PBS kids are available...all sans commercial interruption! And we have yet to explore ALL the channels! We cancelled our cable/satellite provider after only a week!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Disconnects. Won't retain settings. Difficult to reset after a disconnection. Poor resolution. Outclassed by Apple.
