I received this as a gift a couple weeks ago. I have had a Roku 2 for about 2 years that works great and this Roku stick works just as great! Very pleased with this item.
I own various streaming devices....Xbox, Chrome, Amazon Fire......and by Far....Roku is the BEST...the main reason: Because you can stream lots of programs all in one Menu....I.e. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Pandora,......Etc. I am Buying a second Roku for by guest room! Affordable and very user-friendly....and Not Clunky either.
There is no better media device for streaming movie, shows, music, Utube, etc. This device does it all when media is required. Cable is a never ending expense where is the Roku is a one time very reasonable price.
The stick works just as it should. Much faster than the bluray player for streaming. We have an older tv wall mounted and we have to use the side hdmi port so the stick shows from the side. Would be nicer if it had swivel feature to work on older TVs. I know you can but them separately, but I just really don't want to.
Overall I thought this would be so much better than the original Roku. This was smaller and wasn't noticeable. However it is easily broken if it gets pulled to much and it will bend at the point of plugging in. It is very sticky with how it works. Sometimes it freezes and other times it will just jump around. I've bought three and tried it in different TVs and it's the same. I would not recommend getting the stick.
Works well but responds to commands slower than the Roku 3. Be sure to check dimensions (length) before purchasing. Does not fit in wells of 2 of my TVs...too long for the space.
