Love the roku stick!

We have one of the older roku units that was slow to respond and forever 'buffering'. It was also wired for HD programming, but was no different that SD.
The new stick is fast, HD reception is great, and no 'buffering'. Once the movie/program is loaded, it is done. Thanks Roku!

Great product good for travel

It works well and is a good value. The form factor makes it perfect for traveling. Most TVs now have HDMI, so you can just drop it in and go. Only complaint is that Netflix is slow to open, and I think the interface could be a bit more elegant, but those are small complaints.

Fast easy setup

Fast easy setup. This was purchased as an additional unit to go down in our family room. I will say it is surprisingly slow loading certain channels such as Netflix, which gives you the red screen for almost a minute before loading. The compact size and easy setup make it worth your while though.

Got rid of the cable company!!! Glad I did!!!

The little Roku streaming stick has been great. I can stream Netflix, Amazon, and several free channels. I no longer pay my $100/month cable bill. I have had few problems with the streaming stick and would highly recommend it, especially if you already have a Netflix account. I wish that there were more free channels, and I would like to have some adult programming, but I really can't complain.

Overall, very pleased with product

Nice layout, easy to use, start-up of Roku app could be improved. WSJ app has locked up twice and there was no way other than unplugging the device to get Roku to work again, which was disappointing. I don't particularly like the rounded bottom to the remote since if you put it on a flat service and try to push a button it will not be easily pushed as it will want to rock to that side. I would also say a slightly rubberized remote would be an improvement.

Little stick, big entertainment!

This is my second Roku streaming product. Roku has me spoiled for it's ease of use and variety of entertainment. There are many times since I purchased the Streaming Stick that I don't bother watching normal tv.
The Roku Streaming Stick is a little rough around the edges when playing Netflix on it. Nothing earth shattering but it could use a few software tweaks.

Works well, and lasts a long time! I have 2, one is on a smaller screen tv that I just move anywhere in the house I need ROKU! The Stick is very very useful for this type of use. I find myself watching Roku more than what my TV provider offers.
I would recommend this to a friend!
