After getting the second unit (first one was defective) the installation was easy but not well documented.
During use, the remote unit continually (every 0.5-2 min when surfing for a show) loses contact with the main unit and requires removal of the battery. Once re-installed, it again functions as listed. Annoying. This issue would prevent me from recommending this product. Seems to be getting worse with use.
I have had the Roku for a few months and I love it, my friends' have one, so I already knew what to expect. Makes watching Netflix and Hulu plus so much easier then on a computer. And I needed something my mom could use to watch shows. She is elderly and doesn't like complicated things. She was able to figure out the Roku very quickly.
we were missing sports and this was just the "ticket" for sling tv and a little sports viewing back in our lives. If you are not into sports there are hundreds of other channels. this is a great way to cut the cable and still watch awesome tv.
