I am new to streaming but did my research and decided on Roku media stick. I love it! NO cable bills, just internet. It provided WAY better clarity than expected, it loads fast and zero problems since install. There are a ton of shows to watch and movies. some channels do cost money. I have not paid any yet. (maybe amazon..99.00/yr) I actually am wondering if I should upgrade to Roku3 box? I did the 50.00 media stick for starters and so it was a small investment incase I was disappointed. I AM ANYTHING BUT!! I love this device and use it every day.
am so please with the results of this device I am giving serious thought to giving my sat provider the "BOOT" ! if not that then reducing my plan to the bottom level available and cutting my monthly bill from $115 bucks to $19.95. will not miss a thing as in my opinion there is only garbage being broadcast anyway.
I was looking at buying the chromecast and found this advertised on sale. I currently have a Sony Google TV player and the don't blue ray player with streaming capabilities so I have experience with streaming devices. The Roku streaming stick is far superior to my current devices for reliability and availability of programs. The Google TV box frequently freezes, slow to access apps and needs constant resets to get network access reinstated. The Roku stick took all of 2 minutes to set up and works flawlessly! Network access is solid with no lags and the channel choices are unbelievable compared to everything else I have. Thank you Roku for the great device I will be picking up 2 more to replace the other units I currently have. Don't think about it just buy one you won't be disappointed.
Sick of paying high cable prices I cut the cord. The Roku stick had better HD quality then my cable! I didn't know my tv could be so clear! Between Netflix (didn't mind the pause) and Hulu Plus, Skynews (like CNN) and Sugerpop (E Channel) I'm a happy camper! Saving 150.00 a month is easy with Roku! I'm spreading the word!
The stick works great but barely fits due to my HOME port being so close to the front face of the tv, and keeps falling out. When it stays in for the short time that it does, it works beautiful. Hope ROKU can help me out wi8th this little problem.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I'm not sure about this stick. This my 4th Roku, loved the others. My Roku 3 was working fine but I wanted YouTube and installed the stick. All channels freeze up and nothing will play through. Shut it down and rebooted. No help. Removed it and reinstalled Roku3. Not it doesn't work either. Roku 3 was working fine before. What's wrong?
I'm a a Roku owner 4 times and I love the streaming stick as much as I love my Roku 3, Roku 2 XS and Roku 2XD. ITS GREAT and so far I have t had any lagging or buffering or problems with the remote. It's a great product and my tv's have both HDMI AND USB cable ports so it's perfect. Great product and less wires and space needed.
I already own a Roku 2 but our kids tended to monopolize it downstairs. I bought the streaming stick for our bedroom. It was fast and easy to setup. I only had to call support once when trying to figure out how to cast content from our iPad to the Roku. (husband likes to watch Premier league highlights). We used Zonk app. It's dodgy at times, but when it works it's great. As for the streaming stick, I will certainly recommend to family and friends, and might go ahead and purchase a few for Christmas gifts for others. THANKS ROKU!!!
