I have been wanting to stream Nexflix to my TV for a long time. finally bought a Roku and love it. Easy to install as well as move it to another TV in bedroom.
I had gotten Chromecast as a gift a couple years ago but could never get it to work. Roku was easy enough for me at age 66 to install and start up by myself.
Enjoyed all the apps you allow The only thing I would change is allowing all apps to be filled out once at the same time without having to go through each app and provide the same info and most likely the same password AGAIN. That is very tiresome!!
I have a great 55' LED, but I was an early adaptor and purchased it before Smart TVs were so affordable. I have no reason to replace it, but wished for the "Smart" experience. The ROKU stick provided everything I was looking for to update my TV.
I bought my current Roku streaming stick in November 2015 to replace one that failed after just over a year of use. The new one failed after two months of use. It now just runs for a minute or so, then resets - over and over. Have tried complete power down reset several times and no change. It was plugged into a port on the side of the TV so no chance of over heating. Am out of patience and replacing it with an Amazon Fire stick.
