    Have used older Roku Streaming Stick in the past and it worked so ended up purchasing this to add another TV in different room.

    Enjoyed having the Roku and eliminating cable bill. It has taken some time to find free channels but you must do your own research to find shows that you enjoy. I do miss some live sport shows but I may add a live tv option later.

    I am now able to view spectrum cable in two rooms without the cost of the cable boxes! Perfect for these guest rooms that are seldom used.

    I've been using a Roku for years and have always been satisfied with their products. NOT SO this time. I bought the "stick" after being told it was an upgrade. Faster. Better. Easier to use. Not so, I'm afraid. It's slower than my other Roku 2, I was getting messages on the screen that it was "over-heating" and it often didn't recognize instructions from the hand-control. So, I returned it -- and went back to my trusty Roku 2. So, my recommendation: Don't waste your time or money. Buy a faster external unit that won't over-heat.

    I replaced my fire stick for the Roku and only issue I have is that my Roku overheats most of time. I am not a fan of it and prefer the fire stick.

      Hi Andrea, thanks for your feedback. If you are receiving an on-screen error message indicating that your player is too warm, we invite you to visit: go.roku.com/tempcheck. 

      You may want to try finding a cooler location for your Roku player. For example, avoid placing the unit inside a cabinet or other closed space. Avoid placing the unit on top of other electronic devices such as cable boxes, routers, or audio/video receivers. You'll also want to avoid placing the device in direct sunlight.

      You could also try moving your player further away from your TV by installing an extension cable—we offer them for free for Streaming Stick customers here https://my.roku.com/hdmi.

      If your issue persists, please send us an email at support.roku.com/contactus so we can help.

    This is our second one purchased, we put this one in our bedroom. Downloaded the spectrum app and returned the cable box. Just wish the remote had a way to go from 1 channel to another with out having to scroll from channel 2 to 551 for example.

    This remote on the product uses way to many batteries. We have had to change batteries 4 times since owning it. Not the product I thought.

    It works great. I can screen cast to it from my phone so I don't have to type 1 letter at a time to search. You can take it anywhere. Good product.

    Works perfectly. Turned a Vizio smart TV into a smart TV that actually works. Was going to just buy a new TV, but this saved money and works brilliantly.

    we hoped to be able to access our comcast service remotely on our tv, but this doesn't seem to be able to do it .... otherwise, it has opened up a few more channel options and it's nice to be able to watch youtube on the tv instead of a laptop

    With the high cost of cable and other like tv providers, the Roku is a viable option. I would recommend it as a option to consider. We like ours

    The Roku - Streaming Stick with Voice Remote works well and the only issue I hope they update in the code is for the voice activation to work whenever you need to enter data like a login. Otherwise, it's voice search is pretty intuitive.
