I love the fact that all my tv's are now smart!! I don't have cable and definitely don't needs it...i watch everything I love, when I want. My 3 year old knows how to get to her shows with this cute remote...awesome!
I will admit I was skeptical in the beginning. There was no need of that because I LOVE the streaming stick. All of the shows I watched on TV are available on the channels on the Roku. I am not missing anything. I have recommended this to others because I love it so much.
I received this as a gift. It worked great the first week I had it, but afterwards the stick has been so frustrating. It will reboot itself constantly. I have yet to find a resolution to this problem online. I'd go with a more expensive version of the product. This stinks!!
As a relative non-techie money conscious individual, I wanted a device that would allow streaming Netflix and other things I get on-line on a second television. It also needed to be portable to take RVing when we are in a campground with Wi-Fi. It does that, and does it well.
Using this now about 2 or 3 weeks. Still trying to learn how to navigate, search, the whole new concept. trying to cut my cable bill/ dependence, so the only drawback is I'm trying to access live newscasts but so far no luck. ( still learning/trying to work with live stream from the internet for that!?) For me, enjoying this new concept. thanks. Kind of hangs up every once in awhile but I reboot it by unplugging the power source and it works like a charm.
