Works well but the remotes always seem to not connect well. I have 3 Roku devices and it's the same with all 3 of them. Overall it's a great little stick you can bring with you.
I bought this about 2 months ago and my daughter installed it for me...was easy to set up and has made my entertainment options exceptional. I recently discontinued my premium services with a company that seems to think there's no end to my pocket book and continued to raise their prices and play old movies over and over in spite of my complaints...thanks to my Roku, I watch a variety of movies, shows ,etc. when I want to on my own terms. Thanks for putting out a quality piece of equipment.
I really liked this when it worked but for some reason the charger no longer works. I know its the charger not the unit because I was able to charge it with my friends charger. Too bad, as it was good when it worked.
I've got three Roku 3s, and am maybe spoiled by their performance. I recently added this Roku Stick to a TV on which I needed a small device, and one which would be powered by USB. In that, this Stick is great - it fits the need, and provides the Roku services. My disappointment is in how glacially slow this thing is compared to the Roku 3. Moving between menus is so much slower and less responsive than I'm used to. In fact, it's really annoying trying to search anything, as it's so slow to respond to remote inputs. I mean, it works, and was cheaper than another Roku 3, but I often find myself wishing I'd just gone and got one of those instead.
