I have a Roku television and love it and decided to get a Roku Stick for my child's t.v. and it keeps him entertained for hours with the variety of applications available.
Bought the stick because my TV in the kitchen hangs off the wall. Much simpler to install than the puck model which I have in another room. Easy to connect. It did copy the same apps I had on my other Roku which was very convenient. Started to play with the Mirror (beta) feature. Love this. Basically, this is a way to cast a PC or other mobile device onto the TV. When it works (90% of the time), it is great!! Since it is Beta, probably a few bugs to work out, but very very useful. My only issue is that the stick draws power from the TV. So, it takes time to boot up. There is a place to plug it directly to an outlet, but the main reason I got the stick was I could not plug it in.
Getting used to it verses cable.Don't like that I can't watch the same thing as my wife in another room without purchasing that app. as we did for the other Roku. But all in all a good choice.
