i bought 2 roku's but both of them were very slow, image freeze, and blue screens all the time. i had to return them and purchase something else. Don't waste your money & time on it
Bought this on Black Friday sale. Works great I like that it is hidden from view. Get it to use with High School Cube so Grandma can watch basketball games.
I cut cable last January. Got an indoor antenna with DVR (one time fee) and a Roku stick. I primarily use the Roku for amazon video and sports (hockey mostly). I've had no issues with it. It is used almost every day.
I bought this for a second television. I have a Roku 2 on my other TV. The Roku stick often seems to freeze and not respond to any button I push on the remote. I don't have this problem with the Roku 2. If I knew this would happen I would have bought another Roku 2 instead.
Great value: streaming works great. Remote control is clunky to use but tolerable (barely). Biggest problem is that the Streaming Stick causes interference with over-the-air TV broadcasts (i.e. free "wireless" TV via an antenna). With the Streaming Stick powered on, I loose all my TV reception. I have to unplug the Roku to watch over-the-air TV and then plug it back in to stream.
