Chromecast has some real competition now.

Simply put the Roku Streaming Stick is the best $50 you can spend. Roku has well over 1000 channels compared to the handful that Chromecast has. The Roku is easy to set up and activate. Be advised though, when setting up an account you will be required to enter a credit card. However, if you don't have one you can call customer support and they will bypass the credit card info for you.
All in all a very good device and is well worth the extra $15 over the price of a Chromecast.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works Great

It is used to watch live NHL hockey games and Netflix. Always ready to go, no booting up needed. My DSL WiFi modem radio is setup to broadcast signal at 20% power to keep neighbors off of it. The Roku does well with that. I also setup MAC authentication for security and no problems. It does not do well with hidden WiFi or with modem based firewall, so those are not used. One thing is I don't know how Roku can say it has 1000 channels, I see about 30, and most of them are subscription. Since NHL and Netflix has so much, it's not a big problem. I just hope Roku supports the device for at least 15 more years, my TV is brand new and I got this one because it's Roku Ready.

I like the fact that this device is out of sight but has great functionality to make my TV so much smarter. The remote works great with this. Once I plugged it all in, it started chugging along and clearly laid out the instructions to link it up to my current account. I am pleased.

I decided to ditch cable and get a Roku. I love my Roku streaming stick!!! Just make sure your tv is set up for the streaming stick. Mine said it was and it was super simple to install and set up. I love my Roku so much that I'm getting a Roku 1 for my kitchen tv! There is definitely no need to spend the extra $20 for the remote - the remote that comes with the tv works perfectly!!!! I highly recommend Amazon Prime with it.

Bought the Apex 32' LED TV with Roku streaming stick and I love it. Very easy to install. I have a smart TV and smart Blu-ray that were way more complicated to install. Highly recommend this device. The choices of program are good much like my other smart devices.
