Hooked it up and followed the easy instructions and I have been watching TV every since just wish they had one that would hook up with all the tv at the same time, worth the price
We bought our Roku sick a month ago and have been very happy with it. Able to listen to music through Pandora, or watch movies through Netflix and other channels. We enjoy keeping up TV shows and the episodes. Fun entertainment!!
I bought this about a month ago. For the first couple of weeks I was very pleased. It was easy to set up and move it from room to room. After a few times we started seeing messages that the content was not authorized and was not displayed. That happens with Netflix as well as Amazon (I subscribe to both). Each time I was able to go in to settings and reset the Roku stick. I would like a pemanent fix for that issue and; present can not recommend it to others.
The Roku streaming stick is easy to move from one TV to another. It is slow and clunky compared to most other interfaces I have used. After reading a bit more about the products Roku offers, I would choose one of the more expensive options they offer.
I bought this since I don't own a "smart' tv. It's pretty easy to use once set up, however, I find it a bit hard to navigate with the remote. A lot of "typing" which is annoying for searches. The remote is not glow in the dark or lit in any way, which is hard when watching in the dark. I'm still trying to figure out some things and how they work. It's a lot of trial and error. Not sure how to enter all these discount codes I get via email either. I have yet to get a "free" movie using the ads I have received.
