I am totally in love! Who cares I have to wait an extra 5 seconds for it to load Netflix. My sister has the Roku 2. Yes it is a little more speedy, but... I can take my stick with me. The price is amazing. Setup was a breeze; My grandmother could do it. I researched other similar products. So glad I went this route. My only tip: if you can plug it into the wall electrical outlet instead of USB power, you will be so much happier. Waiting to start up every single time is a drag. Having a constant power source is so much better! And the screen saver can be a clock, sometimes I just leave that up. If you are undecided, and don't have to talk to it or don't mind waiting 5 extra seconds then the Roku Stick is what you want. There is literally a channel for everything. DO IT!!
We bought this so we wouldn't have to buy two new smart TVs and could have the same services in both rooms. So far its been pretty great. I only find that sometimes their are glitches with some channels or after continuously being on some times it will freeze and we have to unplug it so that it will reset. The charging cable also bent and broke. It was not to much of a problem though because it is a pretty standard cable.
I bought the Roku based on s recommendation from a friend. After I tried it, I had to thank him. I got it mainly because Netflix was not built into my tv. Works great! Awesome purchase.
Got it for a christmas present!!! Does everything it says. Lots of options for free movies with advertisment. I can find any movie. I have'nt sudscribed to any yet. But I plan too.
I was in a rut with watching the same TV shows continually. Now I really look forward to watching all the shows I missed like Blue Bloods, West Wing without having to wait until next week to see the next segment.
