    This is ok for streaming netflix, hulu+ ect. I expected more channels for current programming and news. The set-up was somewhat easy.

    Good device. And has huge collection of apps. Downside is the slow startup of home screen

    Stick is too long if your HDMI aims backwards. You must use power cable so if your TV is mounted on wall you have to take it off.

    Better than chrome cast because you have access to Amazon. Not as slick as having Roku built into a smart tv thought.

    It's ok, has support for Flixster, which the amazon fire stick does not, but it's a lot slower than the fire stick.

    I have a roku hd box already, so the stick made sense as I had just purchased a roku compatible tv. I purchased the stick bu learned there wasn't enough power coming through the USB port to run the stick when it was plugged in. I had to use the adapter, which not only made an additional cord hang down, but with the way the power cord plugs into the end of the stick made the cord protrude out the side of the tv. Additionally, since the power cord has to go so far up to reach the stick there wasn't enough to reach to the power strip on the floor. Streaming was ok but not great. Bottom line is I took it back and got a roku 3. Streaming is super fast and controller has a jack for earphones. Worth the upgrade for me for the extra 20 bucks.

    I did not like Roku at all. It seems so out of date with the apps. Only had it for two days. I took it back to best buy

    I would rather have gotten the "bundle" from my TV service and would have had live streaming and all the shows I watch. Now I had to add the TV service add'l channels in order to watch live TV and pay for it anyway. I'll probably give the ROKU to someone who is more electronically able to figure all the channel stuff out. I guess I'm just too old to use it to it's full potential.
