I bought this for an older LCD TV I had that I wanted to convert to a smart TV and it works fabulously! The set up was so simple and the program is very straight forward. It's extremely user friendly!
I enjoy the fact that I can stream content from many different sources but I think there is room for improvement. I think there needs to be a better way to search while in an application. I also think the remote battery life is way too short. I have an Apple TV and find that it does a better job with graphics, menus, fewer streaming interruptions and connections. The only complaint I have on Apple TV is no applications like Pure Flix, etc., that is why I tried Roku.
I am happy with the reader of this item. The menu is straight forward and set up wasn't too bad. My only complaint is that I lose connection when in the basement (near the router) despite having a strong signal, when moved upstairs it works fine.. Also the unit can get very hot, not sure if this would affect the connection. Overall all though, great for the price.
I purchased my Roku stick about a month ago, enjoy having the various viewing options available... especially having some of the free viewing channels like Comedy Central... still discovering all the various options... purchased for Sling TV
