Bought it so that my grandson could watch Netflixs in his room and it was so easy and full of fun features that we bought another one a few days later. Easy access to Netflixs, YouTube and TimeWarner Cable, I even get to return my cable box because the Roku allows me to access my cable. Love it!!!
I was tired of paying cable for lots of channels I wasn't watching; with the Roku, I get to actually choose my programing...and save money too! Luv it!!!!!
I'm happy with the service, and the programming. However, after about 6 months, the Remote stopped connecting with the stick. (I've tried disconnecting, restarting, reconnecting the remote, secret menu reset, everything..) Now, EVERY TIME I USE IT, rather than just turning it on and watching, I have to unplug it from the TV, wait a few minutes, plug it back in, remove the batteries from the remote, put them back, press the reset button, wait for it to reconnect to the stick in the TV, and, finally, watch the programming. Not thrilled with this. I've read forums, and this seems fairly common, sadly. I've also gotten the impression that calling tech support isn't going to be much help, so I've not bothered.
