The Ruko Stick is a great alternative to a Ruko 3. I like the short USB power cable so that everything is hidden and no external power adapter needed. The Stick is a little slower than a Ruko 3 on searching and changing channels, but the video performance is right in there. I recommend it to anyone!
Recently purchased Roku and am totally pleased with it. Have only used Netflix so far but love the ability to watch what I want, when I want. The list of available past series is very diverse.
I bought this Roku about a month ago. I was so excited to use it, until I could not get it to complete set up. I googled the issue and found out that you must change your internet settings to get it to work. The change that I had to make made my internet run slowly and it became unreliable. Due to this issue, I have returned the Roku, and will not buy another. I pay too much for good internet to render it unusable just to say that I have a Roku. What difference does it make having access to all these programs, apps, and shows when my internet has to be so unreliable that I can not watch anything without almost constant buffering? If you have internet through a cable company avoid Roku.
I wanted to get Netflix on my TV and ROKU seemed like a good choice to make that happen. So far I have been very happy with the product. It was very easy to setup and even easier to use. It is nice for Netflix but also great for all of the other content available.
