My daughter bought the Roku streaming stick for me as a Christmas gift. It was the best gift ever, for the person who has everything. I love the flexibility of watching shows when I want. The Roku delivers. The best invention since sliced bread.
I bought a TCL tv with Roku and then decided to get two sticks for my kids tvs and they have been great. Only downfall is the amount of time it takes to load and start once the power to the tv has been turned off. Other than that, I love them.
I have had the Roku stick 2 months (the mid price version) It has a great variety of channels & many are free. The pay channels are reasonably priced. Amazon Prime gives you another great selection. It is easy to install. Even a tech dummy like me had it up & running in an hour
I bought the device on a whim so I could watch hulu on my tv instead of an ipad mini. Set up was a little slow, but that was probably because I didn't realize I had to change the input on my tv to see the Roku stick. After that it's been great.
I love my streaming stick. It was so easy to set up... Plugs into an HDMI slot, done! Was easy to add the apps I wanted and insert my passwords. I now only need to use their controller until I need to use the bluray. I just change my input and away I go. This device is easy to use and straight forward with directions. I use Netflix, Hulu and Feeln by Hallmark daily. I love not having to use the Wii controller anymore. If you don't have a smart tv, this is the way to go!
I have completely stopped watching cable and pretty much only watch Roku. I love that I don't have to use my computer to watch Netflix or Hulu anymore. the stick freezes occasionally and the k oh way to unfreeze it is to unplug it and plug it back in which sucks but it's not very often. Otherwise it's a great product and I love it.
