Some issues

These may be Netflix problems, not Roku. When I bought this I thought every time a new movie was released on dvd it would be released on Netflix. Not so. I find searching for new episodes of tv shows difficult and I don't like the auto-play feature of shows I've been watching.
I keep a Roku for when I go out of town. I plug it into the hotel TV and use what I'm familiar with rather than being stuck with the local 3 channels. The streaming stick is the latest device I've used and is one of the best.
The (singular) only issue I've got is it is not well noted that the USB cable is required to use the streaming stick. If you're looking for something that is powered by the HDMI port alone, this is not it. Minor annoyance but is something to consider.
We started with the regular Roku a couple years ago and now have the streaming stick in another room. They work so great! Because of it we don't pay the prices of cable anymore.
This Roku is replacing a previous device (which was not a Roku). The Roku is so much more user friendly! Everyone in the family can use it, even the grandparents! We love our Roku and highly recommend!
My older tv lacked "smart" technology and this device saved me quite a bit as my picture quality is excellent. I now have access to WatchESPN and streaming services to expand my experience.
