Setting up the stick was as easy as reading the instructions and following them. I was leaning towards the box, but the stick appealed to me as less bulky. So far the only thing that concerns me, is the control strikes me as slightly flimsy but I'm two months in and have no regrets cutting the cable cord.
I have owned this for a long time now, over a year, and I love it so much! I have super fast internet so it rarely buffers. There is honestly nothing that I don't like about it!
