I LOVE MY ROKU NOW THAT I HAVE INSTALLED STRONGER ROUTER I NOW DON'T HAVE CONSTANT PAUSES AND RESTARTS IT WILL NOW PLAY ENTIRE MOVIES TOOK A WHILE TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BUT WALA !!!!
I love the stick. It was easy to install for those NOT techie people. Love finding great d shows and having access to some much without the big costs. Best investment I have made in s very long time.
I'm not fond of the remote control with the buttons that can't be modified to focus on other channels, and it could be just because it's Wi-Fi only but sometimes the signal buffers more than on my hardwired Roku 2XL. Still, I'm glad for a cheap way to put Roku on multiple TV sets in my home.
I've had this for a month or two and it's a little frustrating waiting for it to start up every time I turn the TV on. The Fire Stick on my other TV is ready to go much faster. Also, any button you hit after it boots up does nothing no matter how long you wait. The second button you hit works even if it's the same button.
I do like the favorites screen though. It's easier to find the app you want than the Fire Stick which pushes you towards Amazon obviously. Also, it has a button dedicated to the rdio app and the app doesn't even exist anymore. That's pretty sad.
