I have trouble with the streaming of movies and TV shows. On Amazon Prime every five seconds the visual blinks off. On Hulu the same thing happens when trying to watch a T.V. show.
In the frozen north country we have used this extensively to enjoy movies and tv we have not seen in the past. Really enjoy entertainment with no commercials and no need to leave the comforts of home.
I love how easy it is to use, but I am having consistent video quality issues with my HDMI stick. Does not matter what app or setting on the stick (720p or 1080p) still usually have bad quality.
Love this! Very happy with this player, BUT .... I have to switch ports every other day due to the 'purple screen' error! I did some research and it seems like a lot of other people are having the same problem. I bought an extension cable from Amazon, but that didn't work in either of the three ports. I looked for an official Roku extension but was not able to find one. Maybe Roku should make an extender?
I am amazed at how much my Roku device (the first such device I ever purchased) has enhanced my at-home enjoyment of music and film--a far wider variety, at a far better (often free) cost than I had with cable. The simple Roku remote makes navigation surprisingly easy on the well-designed Roku homepage. What a return for my small investment!
