I love the versatility and freedom of being able to watch what I want, when I want. My only negative comment is that it loads rather slowly and may stop in the middle of a program to load again.
I got this wonderful device as a birthday gift almost a year ago. It's such a nice alternative to regular cable TV. The picture, sound, and speed are class A.
I got this as a house gift for my roommate and I, who had just been using netflix hooked up to an old shoddy computer. Now with Roku, we're able to stream Rick and Morty or King of the Hill 24/7 - now THAT'S an upgrade I'd say.
The only criticism I'd have would be that the Roku Stick needs to be pretty close to the WIFI signal to work well, and it's a little slow. I'm being picky though, we've barely had any connection problems since I re-positioned the router.
I bought this several months ago and am very disappointed. Takes forever to load shows. the remote does not work, so I ordered a Roku app for my iPad and that works all the time. Would not recommend this to a friend, I'm sure there are much better products out there.
