The roku stick doesn't compare to having a regular roku device. It only works when it wants to, the remote is constantly not paired with it (even after complaining& recieving another remote), and it seems to drop Internet a lot. Just not happy with the product over all.
This was purchased due to using RF instead of IR. We don't have line of site to the back of the TV its connected to. We sit about 15 feet away from the unit but don't get consistent control with it. Sometimes it works sometimes not. It occasionally gets hung and constantly scrolls on menus. Would be nice if the USB stick could operate off of USB power. The need to have it plugged into an adapter would be nice to eliminate. The remote seems to need fresh batteries often. I guess its reasonable value for the price but would be nice if it were a little more reliable.
