We own three roku's a 2,3,stick. The stick was a disappointment. It's to slow. And with no way to tell when you press a button if the remote is actually sending a signal to the stick.
The Roku Streaming Stick is very easy to install and easy to use course. It is the future of television. Systems of cable or satellite will be deprecated in a few years
I bought this in addition to another Roku box we have had about 3 years and love! Now we have two and it is twice as great! Plug it in, hook up the charger and go!
I guess I expected this to be as good as the box. Not so. Keep having to remove and then reinstall the batteries on the remotes I have to get them to work. And one of them isn't working at all, even with new batteries. So, I am having to use the app on my phone for a remote. The stick seems to have to cache alot. The reason I bought them was because the tv's are wall mounted with no shelf to sit a Roku box on. Probably should have bought the box, and used double sided tape and attached to rear of tv. My 6 year old Roku box does a better job than the stick. So I would recommend buying the box, and stay away from the stick.
Thankful that this is available to the public instead of wasting money paying to huge corporation and getting over priced and bad service. I love my ROKU Stream there's so much to it that it's endless!!!
I actually won this as a prize, I wasn't looking to buy one, but now that I have one, simply love it and would certainly buy one and also recommend it to anyone wondering if they would like it. So many choices that I don't get from Neflix. The setup was very easy and anyone could install the roku stick easily
We bought it and thought it was wonderful! But then all of the sudden it stopped working and when you click on anything it just kicks you out of it like you never did anything. All it ever does is load. I can't believe we spent money on this thing. I should have bought another model or something else to stream netflix. I am very disappointed with this. I loved it when it worked. But there is nothing that we can do to fix this at all.
