I received it for Christmas, love being able to watch Netflix in tv than my laptop. The wifi signal has to be really good in order for it to connect. Its slow when you first log on but it moves faster once the system is used to the network. Definitely request an HDMI extension. They ship it for free and it will allow the streaming stick to fit into all TVs. I love that it is portable and unlike the other roku devices this needs to just plug into the wall. No Ethernet cord is required.
This is my second roku streaming stick, we enjoy being able to use our tv as a smart tv so much that with just the purchase of this product and hulu and Netflix subscriptions we have gotten rid of ever cost rising cable tv. Has saved us hundreds of dollars! We prefer this stick over google chromecast as it always has problems connecting to our devices this stick along with the remote even the app is so much easier to use and we've never had a problem in a year and a half watching our shows! Best device! Seriously recommend for traveling or College students too!
I can only afford wifi and getting a rook stick was the best thing I could have done. Its so easy to install and takes only seconds. There are lot's of channels to entertain myself and my 4 year old. I also love that I can pop a cartoon on for him on netflix and it will continue to play several opposed to me having to go set up the next one after its over. I also can use my smart phone app to program a show if I'm not in the same room. I only wish there were more free channels, especially movie channels.
