Honestly the item doesn't work well, even with an Internet connector right by it rarely will it absorb the signal, poor selection of channels to watch :( not worth it
The Roku is all I needed to connect through my cable to Netflix and more. It was quick and easy to install and I have been using it for about 2 months now and not one glitch!
I've had this particular Roku for about a year. 6 months in, the remote stopped working properly, figured it was the batteries ( go through packs monthly ). If you don't mind having your phone in your hand constantly totally buy it. The streaming stick also starts falling apart just from the moment you plug it in. But I still love it lol.
It is a great product as long as you have memberships to streaming services. You have access to Netflix, Hulu, Google Play Movies, Amazon, and many Niche channels to fit any interest. It is small, and easy to install. Just plug it in, set it up on your network, and you are up and running. Even if you do not have a membership to any streaming services, you can rent movies, or watch many of the free channels available. I recommend this to anyone who is a chord cutter, or even to supplement your current TV provider.
I enjoy the variety of programing allowed for free. Hulu has been a favorite although I do have to pay an extra fee for accessing this..it's well worth it.
I bought this over a month ago and then a TV with the Roku built-in. Looks like it will work out but too bad there are not more free channels available. Seems like they are all "pay".
I bought this a month ago and I'm really enjoying it. I have Netflix and hulu. I already have two Nintendo Wii, bit didn't want to buy a expensive gaming system, or use my laptop to watch shows. It has tons of extras as well.
