    Buy the Roku stick and you won't regret it... I break down why below.

    I couldn't be happier with this product. The Roku is simple to use and it works well. I'm able to watch all of my Internet-based television including Netflix, HBO go, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and literally thousands more channels. The Apps for android and iPhone come in handy too because they function as a controller among other features like allowing you to add channels to your Roku account. I can't tell you how many times I sit down and forget to grab the roku controller on my way to the couch, but I have my cell phone or iPad handy and don't need to get up because of the app.There are some

    Roku is definitely the front runner of streaming devices in my household!!!

    Roku's have got to be my favorite streaming device. I was really happy to see that there was an upgraded streaming stick as I wanted one as fast as my Roku 3 but without the box, mainly so I could get rid of the cords and box on my mantle.*It installed easily (plug and play, then register the device through the Roku website/app by creating an account or signing in if you already have one). The only problem I ran into was the USB powering cord did not work through my USB port on my Samsung TV. I think its just a hit or miss deal, because it worked fine when I set up a new streaming stick on my

    Better than I bargained for

    I like to diversify my electronics. I own an Amazon Fire stick that is currently on loan/give to a family member, ps3, xbox1, xfinity x1, and Vizio Smart TV. I mention this to explain why I purchased the Roku. The Vizio TV has spotty connection to Wi-Fi at best, I'm not wasting time running Ethernet to it, and I'd rather use it as part of a great dual monitor setup than a mediocre smart TV (and the hulu app just stopped working flat out). I have cable service with Comcast, but wanted some flexibility in what and where I watched. The Xbox is great but not portable and the ps3 is not even hooked

    Loved all but the remote. Almost 5 start but...

    This would have been 5 star if not for remote issues. I have owned a Roku before and love the interface and how easy it is to use. The performance of the stick is good and the price was cheap so I deiced to give it another try to have a portable media device. I am very impressed with it and love it once again.With this new stick, the remote is wireless not IR so you don't need to point it and I like that. You can also use your phone to control many features as a remote but you will be almost always using your phone. The phone remote app has tons of features but some times I just want to use th

    Old dogs CAN learn new tricks

    Reason for Purchase – We have been using cable to watch TV and movies for 40+ years. We were attempting to cut our cable services to only Internet and needed to replace our access to TV and movies. Many people have already switched, many never had cable. Streaming services appear to be more mature now so I made the plunge. I researched many of the various streaming devices but settled on Roku. I purchased a Roku Premiere+ (for Ethernet input) and 2 Streaming Sticks.Length of use – 1 monthSetup – Extremely easy. The Premier+ plugged it into the HDMI of my AVR and plugged the power into a separa

    Growing roots with the Roku

    This was the first streaming device I've ever tried so I can't compare to other devices. Also notable is that I've hadn't had cable service since 2011 ever since my dispute with Time Warner Cable. Incidentally, my building only has TWC as a provider so I had no choice but to live cable-free, and OTA antennas didn't pick up signal in my unit.With that being said, this device has successfully turned me into a vegetable of the couch variety. I almost regret getting one of these, as I've lived TV free for so many years and I'm on a mad dash to catch up to the last few years.But this review shouldn

    Works well once you get past the initial, horrible, registration

    Do NOT recommend2019 - I had to change my review from 4 stars to 1 star. Really, it should be a zero. This thing is unusable.I can't play any content because of contstant HDCP errors. I made no change to my equipment but Roku updated itself and either self-destructed or eliminated support for my TV. I have a Panasonic Viera 1080p TV, a passive OTA antenna, and the Roku stick plugged directed into the TV. Thats ALL I HAVE. And yet, the Roku insists there is an HDCP error and refuses to play any content. I tried every display configuration possible. I followed Roku's online "help." I even did a

    Best bang for the cable cutter's buck

    While this specific order was never delivered to me - the seller was a scammer, and thank goodness Amazon addressed the issue - we already had one Roku Streaming Stick and still love it. This review is based on the Roku products we own. They enabled us to cut the cable about three and a half years ago, and we've never looked back. Now that the technology has grown and been refined, Roku delivers performance comparable to cable, giving you the option of picking and choosing your entertainment options.Most free native Roku content is of marginal quality at best, though there are so many options
