Streaming Stick

Bought it to cast from an Android tablet which it does well however I discovered it does poor multitasking. I started one tv app, then thought to try another and by the time I tried the fourth I noticed performance issues akin to buffering. When I restarted the Roku one app (tv channel) played fine. Perhaps I could have made changes in the settings, not sure as I put it into a drawer and decided to use a far more expensive chromcast device on my non smart tv. I would have returned the Roku if someone hadn’t thrashed the box.

Excelente no se traba y cumple lo que dice. Me tocó buen precio en el buen fin.

does exactly what it is meant to.

I am so happy now I accidentally lost my Roku remote. I set out to just buy another Roku remote, but it was cheaper just to buy this. To my surprise, this is much much more upgraded!!! I have way more channels and apps than I did before and I had a TON! No exaggeration. (And I still have cable tv which I can cancel with this. I was nervous as I wasn’t sure what I’d be limited to). Wildly, to my surprise, my picture quality has gotten even better. There’s no lagging when watching football or sports on any of the apps like I do on my more expensive TVs throughout my house (after getting rid of cable boxes & using the apps via cable. This has no issues & I don’t even need cable. Why this doesn’t lag and my expensive smart tvs do, no idea). I am literally blown away and so glad I made this purchase and it was less expensive than replacing a lost remote. Beyond beyond happy. I would suggest this over my Apple TV box honestly. That lags a little bit and the apps that come on some of the other smart TVs lag with football. I can easily change from one thing to the other with this device. I don’t know how or why but it does and I’m not complaining!! It was so easy to set up. Beyond easy to set up actually. I just plugged it in and it recognized everything and told me to press one button and boom, done. I can use it on any TV in the house. My Samsung, my Sony it doesn’t matter. The TV in my living room has way more technology, but this Roku device made my regular Amazon insignia fire TV better than my super expensive TV in the living room. When my living room TV is glitching trying to watch football I come into my bedroom and I watch football on my Roku because it doesn’t lag like all the other different apps do on those other TVs I am blown away at that fact and it’s weird, but I have a better quality picture now and I don’t know why, but I’m happy about it! I probably should get one for my main TV now that I’m thinking about this.

This arrived last week and the early signs were very impressive. The streaming quality is superb here, despite me having a slow internet connection. My main complaint being that when streaming something quite lengthy, if you need to find out how much of it is still remaining, there's no easy way to display the remaining time. And I'm finding that some streaming apps are expecting me to press buttons which simply don't exist on Roku's remote. I've contacted Roku Support (3 times) to ask if there's an enhanced remote control unit available but they never reply. So I'm afraid I've downgraded my star rating.
