Krispy Kreme raspberry filled donuts
I never LOVED doughnuts that much in my life. They are so soft. No too sweet. It melts in your mouth like butter. Just a PERFECT doughnut. You will like it even if you are not a sweets kind of person.

This updated Roku Stick model is leaps and bounds better than the original Roku Stick I picked up last year! While the previous version generally struggled with typical use including starting and jumping between apps, the 2016 model shows absolutely no hints of slowdown. Even when I quickly jumped between apps using the remote's four app presets, the Stick was completely responsive.
I'm also happy to report that the Roku Stick can be powered by your TV's USB ports. And if your TV, like mine, shuts off USB power when the screen is turned off, you'll be happy to know that while you have to turn the TV on with its own remote, the Roku Stick boots up cold and is ready to go in less than 15 seconds. Sadly this is faster than my TV can start up its own Netflix app and it's only about a year old...
Some other things worth noting:
- There's a good chance the Roku turn your TV on when you press the Home button. Go into Settings > Control Other Devices and activate 1-Touch Play. When my Sony Bravia is in standby (the screen is off but the TV is powered on) pressing the Home button on the Roku remote turns on the TV and switches to the Roku Stick's input. YMMV though but I think if your TV has CEC there's a good chance this'll work for you too.
- If you have at least a 1080p screen you'll need to manually kick up the Roku's resolution. You can do so in Settings > Display Type
- If you're not a fan of the Fandango Movie and TV channels you can disable them in Settings > Home Screen
Anyway even if you've been put off of the idea of a Roku Stick due to the previous model's performance issues, I'd highly suggest giving this one a try. You won't regret it!
I would recommend this to a friend

Great device if this is what you need. I had to buy this because the app on my 2015, 70 inch Sharp TV for Youtube no longer work. This is due to Youtube changing their processes and has nothing to do nor is it the fault of sharp. I looked around for the best solution at the most reasonable cost and decide upon this model and brand. Of course as everyone else has found this is a very effective device and it works as indicated. There are a number of apps some of which are for free channels and some of which are for paid. As an HBO subscriber this is actually easier to use than the HBO menu especially when wanting to find old HBO series such as curb your enthusiasm, band of Brothers, Sopranos, etc. My only complaint is that I wish the remote had a few more ways to manipulate it's controls and also that it contained a few more identifying marks for those controls. Unfortunately, like most modern devices there is very little provided in the way of operational instructions and unless you want to go on online or read individual reviews from different websites. However, the bottom line is this device works and does everything it says it will. Also, they offer a small HDMI cable if the Roku is shaped where it will not fit into an HDMI port on your television. This may be a problem to many TV owners as the Roku Dongle is not tiny and some of the HDMI ports on TVs are located in tight quarters.

The main reason I love this product is because it changed the way I use my TV. Before the presence of this product I usually did not use my TV much. Obviously, with the internet, the use of TV have decreased. Sometimes when I was videos example on YouTube, I want a bigger screen than my laptop. This when the chromecast comes in place. This product can be connected to your TV and allows you to cast what's on your computer to your TV. Let's me have a bigger screen to entertain myself. -

This product is amazing. I use it for school and to entertain myself. This tablet is super portable which makes it easy to be out in a bag. At school, you can use it to note, to surf on the internet and to use different apps to learn. You can also use it to entertain yourself during boring times such as on the plane,in the train, in th car, etc. It can be used to entertain yourself by using different game apps or even watch movies and TV shows. In conclusion, I HIGHLY recommend this product because of its differences uses. -
