Amazing little device

It's tiny, and it works great. I wish it didn't need to have a power cord, but you can plug it into an empty USB on your TV so it isn't exactly inconvenient. It is highly portable, and great for taking to my friends homes for movie nights. I love how the remote uses a little WIFI signal so it doesn't need to point at the Roku, which means you can hide it behind your TV with no problem. If your TV is hanging on a wall and the only HDMI port is facing the wall, you may have problems because the Roku Stick will probably protrude against the wall, but a short HDMI cable can fix that, or if you have a port to the side of your TV you will be just fine. I also enjoy using the Roku App to make my phone a remote, and can show pictures from it. It is REALLY worth the price.
I got this as a Christmas gift! ABSOLUTELY LOVE it. I was able to start some of the TV series I like from the beginning and my kids can't get enough of it. It has more than enough to keep them occupied and it can go where we go. Only criticism I could have is having to pay monthly for a lot of the channels. However with Disney, Nick, CBS, ABC and a couple of free movie apps its not a huge complaint.
Got this for Christmas and wish that I would have gotten a long time ago. It is great and love being able to watch different things that I wouldn't have had the opportunity to.
