Just got my new Roku stick plus. Solved my buffering issues with the basic Roku since it has 4 times the wifi signal. Have still noticed a few times the show will repeat it self a few seconds but figure that might be with the network itself. Many others could address the cause of the short repeats.

The stick was easy to install, setup, and use. The expected channels loaded when logging in, which is really great. My one complaint is the remote seems to have a dead spot on the right directional pad. I basically have to press the top right corner of it to get it to work or firmly press it. It's an annoyance, one to ignore because Rokus are awesome.

I had the original models but it was limited. This version included a TV on/off button, and volume buttons, meaning I can put the TV remote out of site. It uses our our network instead of infrared so you don't even need to point the remote at the TV. Ths biggest problems are limitation within various apps, not with the ROKU.

It's the best streaming option for me at this time. I was a bummed my first stick had "software issues @ 1.5 yrs. So I had to buy another. I'm thinking refresh signals from my ISP (comcast) might have squirreled it so in the future I am going to unplug it before a refresh or reboot. Roku you might was to put a code to ignore certain Hello, let's shake hands requests.

Bought the stick to replace Roku3 because I could change TV volume with Roku stick remote. I like that it is hidden behind the TV. Shows have better definition than the old Roku3. Easy to use however pairing the remote was not as easy as it should be. I had to plug and unplug, disconnect power, remove remote batteries to get the right sequence to get the remote paired. Didn't work per instructions. Screen request to select language I preferred high I couldn't answer because the remote wasn't paired.

I have been using Roku`s for years. I buy the latest model and give my old one away. The new streaming stick plus is excellent. Set-up was simple and if you have a newer T.V. you can just use the USB plug for power instead of plugging it in to a wall outlet.

Purchased the streaming stick for a wall mounted television about a year ago. The product is used as the primary media source daily and has never faulted. Works exceptionally well for daily streaming, while powered from the built in 5v USB port. Easy to setup with no shown cords on my wall mounted configuration.

OK, so the word "best" is overused. But, in this case, I have a range of Roku's from the first to the latest and this is the fastest and loads my apps with no delays. Have not found any problems. Easy link to the TV for audio and on/off. If you also have an external speaker on your TV, remember to turn it off before linking the Roku control to the TV. Otherwise, you keep thinking the control can't mute you TV because the external speaker stays on. The audio search does a great job and gives real results.

I have been with ROKU for many years and the channel selection and navigation are excellent and the experience has not needed to change over the years because it works. The addition of the sound and power to the remote is a great game changer for ROKU in addition to voice search. Cutting the cord and ROKU has the edge. BUT - the pre-programmed buttons NEED TO BE configurable. The remote came with Sling, Vue, and one other one I do not use. Let the user program these keys please! I mean, we pay for it, right. Still excellent.

I had only basic cable TV and the price keep going up. When the price doubled over the last few yrs I finally cut it off. Listen to my friends and bought a antenna and a Roku stick and was just amazed at the amount of channels I got with great clarity. Sorry that I didn't cut the cable yrs ago.
