I haven't had it but a couple of months and the stick works fine but my remote only works about 25% of the time. I have changed out the batteries 3 times so I know it isn't the batteries.
I bought this and did not realize that you needed to keep the stick plugged into the wall for power. I left it plugged in over night and it was very hot in the morning. Everytime i need to use it, i have to get up and plug it into the wall, very inconvenient!
I get the purple HDCP content unauthorized screen way too much. Unplugging and restarting usually fixes it, but who wants to do that every time? I get it with HBO now and Netflix.
