Bought specially because has time warner app and can drop cable box fee as set gets little use. Plus now have access to Netflix, etc. on what was non-smart tv. Only thing is some live sports are not as smooth as with a cable. A few more steps to channel surf.
I bought this Roku Streaming Stick because I wanted an energy efficient way of watching Netflix and Hulu. I had been using my PS3 for this and that thing sucks power like crazy. The only reason this is getting 4 out of 5 and not 5 stars is because at times it is infuriatingly slow. Loading apps, browsing Netflix, and starting up takes a long time. Actual streaming is great but getting there can take some time. Other than the speed I have no other issues. It works well.
We bought the Roku stick four months ago and the remote control has been an absolute nightmare. It will work for a space of time and then stop working. We finally end up getting the Roku app on our phones to use as a remote but even that periodically looses signal with the stick. We have the larger box version on another tv and love it.
