We have been extremely pleased with our Roku streaming stick. In addition to saving money we spent on cable tv, I am still able to watch all my favorite shows. The quality is excellent and we anticipate being a customer for years to come.
I've had problems getting the Roku to work. I'm very frustrated. Don't know what the problem is. I had to set it up twice. Every time I turn on my TV I have to take the stick out of the TV and put it back in, then I can use it. I press the buttons maybe 10 times before anything happens. It just does not respond.

I have got many Roku Sticks and Roku1. They are the top of the media consumption device , you will forget Apple TV , Google TV, Amazon fire, WD Live TV, name any other as I have owed all those device's. Its Sits top of the chain! And the most affordable ones too.
Only weak link is the remote built quality for the roku stick it malfunctions s too soon within days this problem needs to be addressed ASAP.
I Like Roku streaming devices. In fact I own two Roku 2 units for my Master bedroom and office. I purchased the new wireless stick at a higher price than the Roku 2's which I connect with HDMI cables. So far after about 6 weeks of use, the stick takes much longer to load, has lost the wireless connection at least 1/2 a dozen times and recently would not reconnect at all for several hours. All while viewing programs, movies, etc. Very frustrating. Of course I checked my internet connections which I have AT&T Uverse and subscribe to their Internet Max, and is only a room and hallway away from my Family room where the stick is installed. Even when it is an AT&T issue, when my internet comes back on line after a signal loss and I reset my router, the Roku Stick seems to be the last device to come back on line. I wish I had just stuck with the HDMI connecting Roku 2's! As with all Roku products, set up, use, and content are awesome! I love Roku, just not crazy with the wireless sticks so far!
This is my 2nd player. We use the older one on the 2nd TV. This one is so nice because you don't have wires everywhere. We have use the Roku's for 3 + yrs now & will never go back to cable - so much money saved.
Bought this about a month ago, and have not seen that much benifit. We watched Madam Secretary and were not amused about seeing all the ads (that we could not fast-forward through).
