I've been using our Roku for a couple years now. Nothing bad except the remote fell apart because we use it so much!! Got the new Roku stick...for the new remote honestly. Great tool I highly recommend and already have gotten a few of our friends on Roku. I can benge watch every episode of every season in a week! And then do it again!! It's awesome.
This product worked for one day, then it started what I would call a "cascade failure". One error message after another. I would try to fix the first and then another would appear, then another. I tried all the help I found on ROKU support, but nothing worked. Finally, after several hours of researching support suggestions and visiting forums online, I disconnected it from my tv. It's not worth the hassle. Would I recommend it? No.
I am very impressed with this product. It arrived promptly and was easy to setup and begin using. There are very many sources of content, much free and adv. supported, and a few channels worth paying for. I am using this and an antenna for over the air channels as substitute for cable. I like best that I choose what I pay for and also get a great amount of content free. I hope this keeps growing, with more and more channels available.
I bought this after thinking about purchasing 1, 2 and 3 for months. The price was right so I went for it. I am so glad I did, now the kids get to utilize all the streaming site I pay a monthly fee for and we have already gotten more than our monies worth.
The lack of closed captioning on some sites limits our ability to stay on those sites. Also, some of them don't even open - especially the Adrise ones. I can download, but nothing opens. I "Hated it", and delete. We like old westerns, but some of the sites don't open.
Just bought the stick and hooked to the TV 2 days back. The stick us little bit bigger and had a hard time plugging it in as the TV is on the wall plus all 4 of my Hdmi slots are occupied so with a bigger stick had a trouble putting it in the slot so have to remove chromecast to make some space I wish that it came with and HDMI extender or similar. I will find a way out so that Chromecast also stays as I stream programm thru my laptop. Besides that I did not see any flaw. There s ample of viewing choice which really amazed me and if you have good internet speed then the picture quality will amaze you. I chose a stick so that it can discreetly go behind the TV Overall I m happy beside a small issue mentioned above
