I love it except for the fact that there is no power off/on. Don't like the fact that it's always on . Also causes problems with Netflix when I go to use it. Gives me an unauthorized error message . I have to unplug and re-plug Roku before it will work. Power button would solve that.
I have had my Roku stick for about a month. I tried the refurbished ones and after two tries I ordered a new, never been used stick and love what it offers. You get what you pay for.
We bought a Roku Smart TV for the living room, only made sense to add the streaming stick the bedroom TV. So glad we did, now we can watch whatever we want on either TV. The set up was super easy!

the streaming stick has hung up a few times, not really sure why. but I had to unplug the unit a few times to gain control again.
Also on the remote reception, since the unit is plugged into a HDMI port behind the tv. it is hidden from the line of sight of the remote. I did receive a HDMI extension from ROKU but it was only approx 4 inches long. the stick is still hidden from view.
I wish I had chosen a ROKU box instead of a stick.
On the upside, I like the conceipt of choosing what I want to watch.
We love all the available channels and apps for the Roku and use it constantly especially for my daughter's shows. The only issue that we have is getting the remote signal to the stick. Our television hides the stick completely so we have to aim the remote to the side of the TV which is impossible to do from some seats in our den. The quickest, cheapest, best fix I've found for this was to download the Roku app for my phone. The app works like a charm! My only other issue was how long it took to sign into each individual app initially.
