I have 3 of the Roku boxes and I bought this one because my Uncle said he liked his as well as my sister. I love it. Wish I would have gotten all sticks for my tvs. I like how on Netflix it goes from one episode to the next. It never does that with the box. The only this I don't like is that the remote will work without it even being pointed at the tv which would normally be a good thing, but I have a 2 and 4 year old that are always sitting on it or grabbing it and playing with it. One they get older though I'll be glad that it works the way it does.
Not happy with it . Buffers to much and I paid a lot for the Internet services to solve the problems and is not helping . I have a roku 2 and a stick . Not happy . Needs more improvements with the technology out there.
We had Netflix access via a old Blu-Ray player, and it kept stalling as we were watching consecutive episodes of a TV series we liked. Sometimes it would just stop.
The Roku on the other hand loads the start of an episode in a few seconds, and never seems to stall in the middle of a program. We also like that the remote is linked by radio and not IR; don't have to worry about where to point it.
