I use this with my TV in my workshop. It provides the streaming I want but I have had issues with it. It is powered by the USB port on my TV. When there was an extended period of time with no power the remote/roku lost its pairing. I also find that I need to be within 10 feet of the unit for the remote to consistently work.
I love the new streaming stick, however the only complaint I have about it is not being able to access your local streaming channels that are free in the area that I live in. If you guys could update or upgrade the devices to do that, I would be 100% on board with this wonderful streaming stick. Because I am missing my local news channels, and a lot of other local channels. I live in Utah.
I replaced an older Roku with the stick. I travel a lot and sometimes the tv choices are poor. I recently took this on vacation and was able to watch my favorite programs without a problem. Keep in mind you must have WiFi at each place you stay but most hotels do. I love the easy set up, just plug it in the hdmi slot and power. The small remote is the biggest part but you can skip this by getting an app for your pad or phone. Bottom line I love it.
I bought streaming stick on black friday this year. The features are great but processing is very slow. When you try to search something it takes ages to type.
I bought one a few months ago because we canceled cable and one TV didn't have internet connitivity to stream Netflix & Hulu. After getting my Roku home and setting it up I fell in love. So much that I bought 2 more for the other 2 TVs in the house just to get all the awesome features!
