I really love my Roku, and all the apps. But I have to use the Roku app on my phone as the remote, because I just can't get the Roku remote to work, no matter what I do.
My husband & I absolutely LOVE the Roku Player and the Roku Stick. Not only are we saving a fortune since quitting ATT Uverse, but the quality and the streaming is excellent. We can watch all the same shows we watched with cable and the "on demand" utility of all channels eliminates my previous panic when I thought I was missing something that aired when I couldn't be home to watch it. I especially like that we can keep our subscriptions to Netflix and Showtime, and also have HBO Now and still save $.
