Works fine.

There was no room to plug it in the back of my TV so I had to buy an HDMI extension cord. The add does not say it has to be plugged into power. I assumed it got power from the HDMI port. If I had known ahead of time I would have purchased the ROKU3.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Depends on your needs and what you have available

Comparing the Roku w/internet and a PC w/internet the PC is better. You can get Netflix/Hulu/Amazon prime with a simple Internet and PC hookup. Basically the Roku has three tiers. After buying the Roku and getting internet access you can get content that is Free, Ad-Hoc Subscriptions or go with a cable provider and play some of those channels through the Roku (not sure why someone would do that). The free content is poor so basically you would probably get Internet, purchase a Roku and subscribe to whatever channels you want for an additional fee for each channel. If you're OK with limiting your content then I guess the Roku is a choice.

Easy and Works Great

We bought this a month ago and have been very happy. Its super simple to install. Channels look great and its easy to operate. It has a cord that plugs into which I didn't expect but no problem. I was surprised so many of the "free" channels require you to have a TV service provider to access them. Our goal was the cut the cord, so we cut it and then found out we needed a service provider to fully access ROKU's features. A suggestion for improvement would be to change the shape so it can lay flat against the TV when plugged in.

Not consistent

I bought this a couple of months ago mainly to watch sports. It has been very inconsistent. We haven't been able to watch a full game without an issue. Then recently, it froze completely for several days and only after unplugging everything and plugging it back did it come back on.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Streaming Stick Review

Not happy with the stick. Def does not work as fast as the Roku 2 we have and does not have anything the do with location to router. We have used both in both rooms. Also the screen can be fuzzy for a minute when tuning in for the first time or when flipping to a new channel or even while viewing a show
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We bought this for our son so he could have netflix, other than the remote is broken and we can't get it to work again even after changing the batteries and resetting it, and we have to use an app on a iphone which we only had windows phones it had been great.
