I wanted an alternative to cable and satellite. The Roku Stick is the answer. The cable and satellite companies have the FCC in their pockets. Why do you think you have to use their equipment and yours became obsolete?
I had no idea how a simple tool could turn my dread of turning the tv on, into a looking forward to turning the tv on. I immediately found a whole new world waiting for me with access to programs that I love to watch. I am grateful for this new world!
I have found the stick needs to be reset at least once a week. This has improved as of late, but I still have trouble with playback on some of my applications, such as Hulu and CBS all access.. I also have the HD model and would recommend using the HD model rather than the stick.
The stick is handy and portable. I have two. The only problem I have had is been with the remote. They loose connection sometimes and I have to take the batteries out to sync it back
It takes forever to download and it keeps spinning and interrupts the show it it trying to download. But I shouldn't complain because it was free. (The stick)
