All I need

Bought this product to access more programming than was available from cable or dish. Its convenience is fantastic. The only drawback is that the remote consumed 2 sets of batteries in 2 days and no longer works. So I programmed my Iphone to control the stick.
I have had my Roku for about a month and loved it at first. But now it seems as if it spends more time loading up music and movies...maybe mine is just faulty.
I bought this stick about a month ago and have been very pleased with its performance. It has been very convenient because it is small and very portable. So switching to another tv has been relatively pain free!!
Great product that works well, but can be sluggish

Has the standard Roku interface and catalog of apps, stays neatly hidden behind my TV, and works well most of the time (much, much better than my Chromecast). However, it feels underpowered and the interface is sluggish, especially in the YouTube app. Still a good product though and the best option for streaming content to your TV when you don't have the physical space for a bigger device.
The remote to the Streaming Stick doesn't work. It will pair, and it will work for a few minutes, but then becomes unpaired. Then you have to reset/reboot the remote, and/or the Streaming Stick. I use the Roku app on my phone to get around this problem, but I shouldn't have to.
