Best Invention Ever and a piece of Cake to set up. When setting up on the computer just select 1 or 2 channels among the multitude available when given the option. They're easier to select/ delete through the system remote and since new channels are being added all the time you'll need to learn to work it anyhow so as to check for them every week or so .

I'm saving about $80.00 a month over cable and get everything I'm really interested in without the monthly bill. Couldn't be happier. And by the way, I'm no tech person, but I was able to plug it in myself! And, yes, there were some additional instructions to follow because my TV is an old smart TV, so there were a couple of extra steps that the new TVs don't require, but I was able to do it all by myself.

I got this product because several of the apps on my smart TV are no longer supported by their respective websites. For the price, I got a lot more than I ever expected. I use it all the time and even bought another one for my house. I especially like the portable stick because it doesn't have to be plugged into an electrical outlet. You are allowed to plug it into an open USB port on your TV!

I was tired of the ever-increasing prices of cable television through Time Warner Cable but didn't want/need to replace my current TV with a Roku TV (costing hundreds of dollars). Best Buy offered the best deal with this Roku stick which plugged directly into my TV's HDMI port. Being new to Roku, I was pleasantly surprised by this excellent product! It is the best-of-both-worlds!! Thank you Best Buy!!!

I like the idea of streaming and the streaming stick ROKU makes has worked well. My one criticism is your instructions on the TV site when installing ROKU said Roku.com/link and enter the code. Well this address does not take you to the page to enter the code. In reality your instruction should read My.Roku.com/link. I got a wrong site because of your instructions and almost had to pay for the service.

Love the ability to use WiFi link & cable P/W to watch Spectrum channels on 2nd TV in my house without a cable box. Only minor complaint is lack of numeric channel input on remote, so must scrolllllll a long way.

I bought this because our BluRay/streaming device would apparently loose it's connection, take forever to download, and finally need to be unplugged for hours before it _might_ start working again. I bought the Roku and when the Panasonic & Sony BluRay sreaming device crapped out in the middle of Netflxing a Star Trek episode, the Roku came through and worked with flying colors! Make it so! Engage!!

Set up was easy (used the company's video) and using it was a breeze. Kicking myself for not doing this a lot sooner. We have more and better channels than with our old cable setup. If your thinking of switching to antenna for local channels and then streaming the rest on Sling TV then this is the way to go. We figured we will be saving about $100./yr doing this and we aren't missing any thing.

I bought the Roku originally because my TV was not a smart TV and I didn't like running my Xbox for streaming. I ended up with a smart TV and still prefer to use the Roku over the smart functions.
The lay out design on the home screen and the available apps are both nice features.
Also, having a remote instead of having to use a mobile device to choose what I'm watching is a huge plus.

I bought this because I wanted to get Netflix to watch the Gilmore girls reunion. I am not very knowledgable about setting up gadgets and I was nervous , but setting this up was so easy. I just follow the prompts and set it up in no time. Plus I got a great price. Best buy is just the greatest. So easy to find this device and checkout was great. I love my Roku and I'm so glad I got it from best buy.

The Roku Streaming Stick is a tremendous value and a simple, effective, easily mastered piece of technology that brings streaming to most any home. I was absolutely astounded at how easy setting the Roku Streaming Stick is and how quickly I found myself enjoying entertainment offerings on Netflix, HULU, etc. If you're not a techno-geek (I'm certainly not) you'll be amazed with the Roku Streaming Stick!

Works as advertised

It’s a roku stick and it works as advertised. Unlike the fire stick that I also own, the startup is much faster and loads much quicker. Obviously it is missing some features you would get with a Roku player such as direct Ethernet connection instead of relying solely on WiFi however if that is not a concern it’s worth it. I personally have not had any issues with the WiFi connectivity like I did experience with the firestick. If you do find yourself having issues with WiFi connectivity I have noticed that some TVs (mostly newer models) do a better job at blocking signals. If this does happen, try using an HDMI extender when plugging it in. This will help move the stick further away from the tv and in some models even allow it to position further to the side of the tv and thus giving it a better clearance for signal. It has all of the options for streaming as other roku players as far as I can tell. Well worth the buy when it comes to switching between devices or taking with you on out of town trips.
