I purchased this Roku stick because I wanted to have the same convenience of having Roku streaming in my bed room as I do in my living room. My Roku 3 is beyond amazing; it's fast, seamless, and works like a charm; however, my Roku stick leaves much to be desired. It constantly freezes on 25% of the stream loading, won't open the the applications such as Netflix, Hulu Plus or Vudo half the time and already doesn't function at all in comparison to my Roku 3.
