My PS3 broke,and thats what I watched netflix and WWE on. I bought this Roku and it is even better than the PS3 at finding my stuff. Before,I had tried the Chrome Stick and on my Wwe..it was so choppy,I couldnt watch it. The Roku is awesome !!!
Things drop. Things freeze. Inaccurate information appears. Is this an issue with ROKU, or is this an issue with different apps/channels/web stream provider. Sadly, the average person doesn't have enough technical knowledge to EVER know for sure, and that will never change.
After owning a Roku2 for many years, I decided to purchase a 'next generation' device for our entertainment needs. The Roku Streaming Stick is the perfect solution to our 'non-smart' TV. The device lives behind the face of the television and is completely invisible. The provided channels cover all the usual streaming services, and with the ability to add others, it provides all the streaming content we could ask for. The only downside is the need to provide external power (the usb 'wall wart' just needs one more outlet) but that's the only thing preventing this from being an 'excellent' review.
I purchased the stick a few weeks and while I love it overall, I have issues with the remote. Occasionally it will not work and takes a few minutes to connect.
