My cable company went all digital which requires a small device leased from the cable company in order to pick up the digital signals. Rather than lease their device I purchased the Roku Stick and I am able to pick up the cable company's digital channels by going to the cable company's app on my Roku. Works great!

Well, I am new to streaming video, so buying this was a step in the dark. But, it was just so easy. All I had to do was plug it into my HDMI port on the back of my TV and it set up itself!! Very user-friendly. I received a gift card for Best Buy for my B'Day and used it for the very reasonably priced Roku. I could not be happier!

An easy and inexpensive product to add Netflix streaming to a TV with a HDMI port available. Some interesting free content yet to be explored. Only down side is the potential space issues to actually fit the dongle straight into the HDMI port. Might require a very short HDMI cable adapter, although mine did not.

We already owned the Roku 3 when we decided to buy the streaming stick to easily transport movies between our other tvs. The only complaint Is how slow it is on start up. The menu takes a few seconds longer to appear than with the other Roku product. It does, however, do what we need it to!

Roku is much more reliable than my tv's built-in wifi or my dvd player's built-in wifi. It hardly ever has connection problems. I also love how you can set up the Roku app on your tablet or phone and use it to control the TV. I have yet to try the channels except Netflix, but they seem pretty good. I also like how it's so small!

The Roku works well and the app makes a fine substitute for the remote that comes with the device. You don't have to be an IT professional to set it up and screen casting from a smartphone or tablet is also a nice feature. However the response time from any input is very slow. Sometimes it takes so long to respond, you begin to wonder if you properly selected the command in the first place. Another common problem is the remote can lose connection to the device. Usually it's easily rectified by unplugging the power to the Roku and removing the batteries from the remote for 30 seconds to 1 minute and then hooking everything back up. Both issues are small but can be frustrating.
Overall, the Roku does what it claims. Just don't be in too big of a hurry.

This product has help us get all the same channels that our box on the main tv gets. That has been very nice having all those extra channels on our other tvs. I would like to get more buttons on the remote like last channel. Over all we have liked this product from day one.

I love how its just a simple stick that plugs into the tv. Works just the same as the other roku boxes. Only downside is that there isn't enough room to keep the stick charging while it's plugged into the tv. I'd have to get a different tv to do it. Other than that I love it.

We bought this to basically watch netflix and hulu in our bedroom. It works perfectly, I havn't tried all the apps on it as of yet. The only down side is you have to pay for alot of the channels itsays are "free".
