If you have enough HDMI ports on your TV to handle one more device, this one is less expensive than the regular Roku 3, and yet has all the software features, and is a really great device!
I bought this for Christmas for our new TV in the living room (we already have Rokus in bedrooms). I like the stick, it is portable like a chromecast, but useful! Netflix, etc all in a compact HDMI device. Eventually I used it up to my portable (PICO) Projector. Awesomeness
I've had this rocky for about 2 years and about every 2-3 months I need o reset the system or I have to re-program the remote. It's just became routine. However when it's working it's great. My 6 year old can worker and it's user friendly enough that he can do his own searches. Biggest issue is the durability as stated above.
Purchased over a month ago after enjoying a month free trial. How did I ever survive without it?! It has been awesome! Watching what I want when I want. Catching up on everything I had missed, plus enjoying shows I never even knew existed. Scheduled television is becoming more and more a thing of the past. Thanks Roku!
When asked what I wanted for Christmas I told my kids a Roku Stick. I received my Roku for Christmas. I plugged it into my HDMI port and the USB port on my TV and it is great. Since I already had an old Roku on an old TV, the set up was simple. This one will go on vacation with me.
