I bought this product because my Roku box conked out. From reading online, I was led to the possibility that maybe internal heat was the culprit. So I opted for the stick to possibly combat that scenario.
It is ok, but when watching moves it stops every 5 minutes or so and loads and that is iterating and some time it take forever to load so I have to shut it down and turn it back on. OK but for the money it should be better.
My mother got this for me as an early Christmas present, because I love watching Netflix on my tv. My Xbox stopped working so I had no way to watch it on there. So she got me this and I am so so happy with it! All you need is a good internet connection! It runs very fast and a lot smoother than I ever thought it would. Doesn't take long to load anything. Plus, has cool features like renting movies! How awesome. It is also small so it takes up basically zero space. I love this!!! Love love love it
I have a Roku 3 and bought the stick for my daughter to use at collage. She couldn't get it connected to the collage WiFi so she brought it home and I use it for a secondary TV. It works as expected, slower than the Roku 3, but overall I'm satisfied.
The streaming stick provides really great clarity for all broadcasts in comparison with my Roku Two model, and that was really nice to begin with. I like the convenience of simply inserting it into the HD outlet. The only negative I have noticed is that sometimes the control does not function, it freezes and I have to unplug the electrical connection to restart. This happens infrequently. Otherwise, it is a really nice tool to bring in a superlative picture.
