Overall the stick is great,but the remote that comes with it stinks! It never works and I had to download the app just to be able to use the remote function. I like everything else about the Roku stick,it has a lot of channels to watch and I have enjoyed it so far. I would just suggest making the remote better.
I really like this in comparison to my older model of the roku which is much bigger and takes up outlet space. this one is so cute and works just as good! Every once in a while, the remote doesn't trigger a response, but this is rare and can usually be fixed by taking the batteries out and in again. I only wish it would also offer youtube streaming.
When I bought this I asked a friend for help with set up because I'm not very savvy with computer stuff. But b/e he came, I was able to follow the easy instructions, plus the help from a live person and had it set up
I got the Roku Stick as a bundle with my new Sling TV service. What I love about this Stick is that it's much more up to date and faster than my original Roku, and that it takes up no space! The remote really does work wherever you are, even with the stick being behind the TV. Definitely looking to purchase another for the bedroom.
I have had the Roku streaming stick for about a month. It is very easy to use but the only complaint I have is that the remote has stopped working twice and I have had to reboot the stick (unplug it at the wall). It can be frustrating. The other issue I have had is when I stream Netflix it tends to stop midway through and sit at loading 25%. This could be a Netflix issue though.
We got it so we could watch SlingTV and it was the cheapest options, but we end up using it all the time for its other features including being able to use it as a cable box for our barebones cable. Highly recommend. Only thing I don't like is the nagging to leave a review. :)
This device is great , but having to find a special cord to plug this in because I only had one hdmi port in my back of my tv and it wouldent fit correctly the first time, I had to wait over a month before I could use this, perhaps in future packing of this item , you might want to add a hdmi extender so that others can have the reach for out of place ports... Other than that, it has everything that could be wanted from digital entertainment
