I have had Roku for 3 years now and love it. I have recommended family members to purchase it as well. Great way to access several channels without having to surf the internet or pay high cable prices.
Bought this a couple of months ago and I just can't believe the endless variety of "Free" and Paid channels. I'm 51 years old and there are Movies and Cartoons from back when I'm a kid...I am the "MovieFreek"
We've had the streaming stick for about a month now and like it. It definitely is a cheap way to go if you are wanting to save some money but you lose out on a lot of things. NFL games as well as most sports games are it available, live tv is not available, as well as many other shows unless you already have a cable provider that you are paying for separately. Sling TV is Roku's way of getting live TV, but it hardly ever loads and if it does it skips around and is very spotty. For the price you pay, don't expect to be getting the moon and stars. It's decent, but not amazing. I've had to replace the batteries in the remote included three times in a month and it still doesn't want to work consistently. Had to download the app that has the remote to be able to work it.
Got my Roku streaming stick a month ago because I had to to be able to get some local content and I've been able to use it all of 2 days maybe because the remote keeps dying. Won't work at all. Went back to my old Roku that works. Not impressed at all!
