My wife surprised me with the Roku Stick as a Christmas gift. I was very excited to start streaming movies, which I did in short order. The Roku home menu is so easy to use.
I bought this Roku because I could no longer access Netflix through my WII System. I was very hesitate about getting it, didn't want to go through a lot of hassle to watch my shows. My son talked me into it. So happy with my Roku Streaming Stick! It loads so fast, the picture is very clear. My husband now wants to purchase one for the bedroom. Very satisfied!
Along with the features I expected to use my Roku for (Netflix and other streaming apps) I have found myself searching for music I hadn't listened to for years on YouTube. For example when I heard of David Bowie's tragic death I searched for the Diamond Dogs album and had it play through the house audio. To my delight, after the album had finished it simply kept playing all Bowies songs all day! Love it!
After years of Cable Captivity, Roku has allowed me the independence and direction I deserve. To top it off, I'm saving $100 a month! I now watch TV for entertainment and only when needed.
I cut the cord 3 years ago and started with a Roku 2 Xd. I wanted something that would hook up to the hdmi port without a cord, so this was perfect. I bring it with me when I travel to my daughter's home to watch my shows there. Easy, no commmercials. I just love it. I also have the stick in my bedroom.
My husband loves how it advances to the next episodes, as he is a week-end binge watcher.
Its freezes many times daily,great image ,other features are good.I have 24 gb and still have a few problems with stick wifi reception.Thinking about an upgrade
