I have 3 different models of Roku (Streaming Stick, 2 and 3) and love them all. I do like the Roku 3 a little more because it has the headphone option. I don't have Satellite, Cable or a DVR, Roku is the affordable option.
Shopping for cable because my rates were going sky high. The customer service person told me about the Roku and hope I could stream my cable through Roku in other rooms in my house. We loved it so much we bought 4.
We were only able to get it to work the first time we plugged it in. It will not connect even after unplugging, restarting or trying anything else. Waste of money for us.
we do love our Roku, one complaint though. we've had trouble with it locking up on us. we've learned the hard way what not to do. we don not reset the button on the Roku, no no. we just unplug power source and remove batteries for 5 sec each and all is well.
I bought the Roku stick to stream Netflix and Hulu on my TV. Navigating through the apps is simple and fast (depending on your internet speed, of course).
I have had this Streaming Stick for a couple of months, thank you for my new remote. The problem seems to be with the remotes NOT powering off which drains the batteries AND sometimes even with NEW batteries the remote will not work with the Streaming Stick, you must unplug the power to the Streaming Stick for about 15sec (rebooting), then reinstall the batteries in the remote to get it to work with the Streaming Stick. I would be happy to trade this Streaming Stick for a Roku 3 or even a 2 due to all the remote problems I have encountered. My other Roku's 2 and 3 work great!
