“How does this model differ from the "Roku - Streaming Stick (2016 Model) - Black"? They have the same model number (3600R) but the SKU on the 2016 model is different (4858200) as is the price. Are there different features or specs?”

I actually bought both versions of the Stick, so I can answer this pretty well. The Stick itself is supposed to be slightly faster, but I can't tell a difference at all with the new one. The interface is identical, but that's just software. The biggest change - and the reason I ended up buying the new one - is for the remote that integrates TV power and volume with the Roku. The 2016 remote only does the Roku through the WiFi. If you expect to control other things, that will require a WiFi universal remote, which is pretty pricey, considering all I wanted was to turn the TV on and off. If you've got a WiFi universal remote already or appreciate juggling 4 of them, then the 2016 Roku will work absolutely fine.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I am also confirming that the new Roku Streaming Stick (Model 3800R) is not compatible with SlingPlayer. If you have a Slingbox and are watching it on your iPhone or iPad (via the SlingPlayer app), you are NOT able to cast it to the Roku 3800R to watch it on your TV. VERY DISAPPOINTING since earlier Roku sticks were compatible with SlingPlayer.
