    Bought this as a gift. It doesn't require purchasing a separate HDMI cable since it connects directly to any open HDMI port. Great upgrade to non-smart tvs.

    I first purchased a Cromecast and it crashed within 15 min. and would not reset so I returned it and got the Roku its great and has far more apps than the other brand. i'v been using it for several weeks now and no problems.

    I have netflix and hulu plus as opposed to cable service so i got this roku stick to stream on the TVs that i didn't have game systems attached to them. I was in between the chromestick and this stick. I chose this one because i planned on getting amazon instant video service as well but the chromestick doesn't have that app. And also roku has a cool remote app that i can control roku with my phone or tablet and the app doesn't delay either. The actual remote that comes with the roku streaming stick is cool and big enough so that you don't lose it. The remote makes me feel like i have cable again. The Only downside I've seen is that sometimes when I use the hulu app, my streaming just freezes once the episode is over instead of just going to the next episode like it should and i have to reset the roku stick. Not sure if there is a problem with the hulu app or roku stick itself. Overall I like it.

    When I purchased the streaming stick, I was worried that it wouldn't have enough power and cause a lag, because the other higher priced alternatives have faster processors and memory. But the streams are quick and smooth and there is no lag. We love it and we're thinking of getting others for our other TVs. We may cut the cord and quick Comcast cable tv since SlingTV is now available and it includes lots of great live TV content.

    Model 3500R, Good stick, bad remote

    The stick itself is very good but its remote is horribly unreliable and keeps losing its pairing almost daily. To reset pairing, you have to remove and reinsert the remote batteries, press the pairing button on the remote and press the reset button on the stick and then wait for the remote to re-pair. It is a total pain. Of course you can use the ROKU app downloaded to your smart phone in place of the remote, but that defeats the purpose of having a remote in the first place.

    This is great for the televisions in our grandchildren's room and our guest room. No bothering with switching back & forth between remotes!

    I had to buy a streaming device when Google suddenly decided not to stream Amazon on my smart T.V. The Roku 2 came highly recommended and positively reviewed. We are not disappointed.

    So many options for streaming and this is the best one I've seen. Slick TV is amazing. I can have Netflix, Crackle, and other channels all in one location without needing a smart tv.

    Still some apps that need to be created either for the roku stick or chromecast but I find the roku seems to be a bit more stable than the chromecast stick.

    Most of my tv watching is done by streaming, and this is one tool I would not trade for anything. It is easy to set up and once that's done, you can just sit back and enjoy your favorite networks like Netflix, Amazon, and especially Acorn. I haven't found Acorn using any other tool. I bought the least expensive Roku but it works really well!
