I already owned a roku 3 but purchased this streaming stick for a second TV. Everything was as easy to setup here as the roku 3, and I like how the interface is the same between both units. I like how my apps look and work the same on both units. The only negative I can think of is the streaming stick is a bit more sluggish than the 3, the content looks identical, but every button press or selection is just a bit laggy in comparison. This isn't a problem overall, especially on a secondary TV just noticeable compared to the roku 3. No regrets for the price paid.
I was surprised when this device DID NOT pick up the Wireless Access signal in my house. All devices which I have can do that outside of this one. It also is very slow.
This great little stick opened up a new way for me to watch TV. Brilliant picture, amazing choices and completely hidden behind my flat screen. Super easy to install.
I received this along with my subscription to Sling TV. I already own a Roku 3, which I am extremely pleased with. Although this functions the same as the Roku 3, it is so painfully slow that I find it nearly useless. Navigating then menu options will test your patience. Highly recommend spending the extra $50 to get the Roku 3 (or newly released Roku 4) This will be going in the trash once I upgrade to a newer model.
We purchased this several months ago and finally got everything to work together. Because we are in the country we had issues with having to get a router extender and then had to get everything working together and FINALLY things seem to be working together.
Very happy with my purchase. I love the Roku, having a Roku 2 already. Bought the stick for our other TV. I find the stick takes up less space and has streams apps just as well as the Roku 2 with the added benefit of using a newer Netflix app. c.
I bought this unit about 10 months ago and finally installed it in October. So far I am not pleased with this device. I continue to have issues with pairing the remote to the TV, I thought at first it was the batteries.... still having issues. I have another Roku on another TV and that works great, wish I could change this item.
I've purchased 3 Roku's so obviously love them. However, like many reviews I've read, the remotes are terrible. All 3 of mine have quit working very shortly after purchasing and I end up using my iphone app instead.
