Got this for Christmas and have no complaints. I just wish we were able to use our hot spots on our phones as an internet connection....hopefully someday we can!
It is a great compliment to my Netflix and Amazon Prime subscriptions. Only issue I had at the beginning was the channels were generally blurry and I had to reset my Roku every time I turned it on. I upgraded my router for my wifi and cleared this up right away, and all the channels have came in great since my upgrade.
I would not buy the Roku Stick unless you have a good wireless router. We moved the stick to our room (where the router is) from downstairs, moving the Roku 3 downstairs which is connected to our wired hub. Both work very well this way. I also like the Roku 3 because of its voice search.
I bought both of my kids a Roku stick for Christmas and they stopped watching cable lol. I may even be able to cancel my package. I also love the selection of channels to download.
I only use it for the time Warner Cable app it's freezes a lot and sometimes it doesn't load. The remote control stopped working one week after I got it so I control it through the app on my phone.
A Christmas present - which very much exceeds my expectations. Streaming is excellent and high quality. I now have Netflicks and Amazon Prime Videos at my fingertips. Manual control hangs up occasionally, but the cell phone AP is awesome - fast and totally functional.
