Best Streaming Player On the Market

First off, I want to say what I DON'T like about the ROKU Streaming Stick: the remote control! I bought the first iteration of the Streaming Stick last year, and the remote was hefty, sturdy and responsive. I liked it so much that I bought a second Stick for my other TV set. The second remote was thinner and flimsier than the first one, and it stopped working on several occasions, also the directional buttons would stick, sending the remote into a clicking frenzy. I exchanged that device for a different one, and encountered the same problems, so it looks like a problem that Roku will have to deal with (or continue to ignore...).
Even though the remotes are troublesome (aka lousy!), the ROKU Streaming Stick is still worth owning. It is the best of the breed. I own the Amazon Fire, the Amazon Fire Stick, the Apple TV, the Roku 2 and a few others not worth mentioning. I prefer the Roku Stick over the Roku 2 because the Stick doesn't require unobstructed access to the device, and it's more responsive.
The Roku's channel options are endless! You can access private channels via the Rokuguide.com website. Trust me when I tell you, there's something for everybody in the public and private channel sections. You can choose the channels that interest you, and upload them directly to your Roku menu.
If the remote wasn't such rubbish, I would give this device 5 stars.

Easy to use

Works great with older model TV, only problem is we had to replace the batteries used Duracell and they don't quite fit so you have to take them out and reinsert after a few uses.

So easy to use!

We have a Roku Streaming Stick in the den, but decided to get a 2nd for another TV. Now two of us can watch different streaming content on different TVs at the same time. Installation was a snap. Switching from my cable channels to Roku is simple, just press the input button on the cable remote. Shows download quickly and stream smoothly without pauses for loading as happens often when watching video on a computer.
