Roku – Streaming Stick

June 6, 2016 By MomMomOnTheGo

There is a world of streaming devices out there to enhance your viewing and entertainment pleasure. The question is what one is the right one for you? Well, I have been on a mission to try and make the world of streaming devices a little less confusing for my fans.

So the streaming device that I have been putting to the test is the Roku Streaming Stick.

Here is what you get in the Roku Streaming Stick box………

*Roku Streaming Stick
*Point-anywhere RF remote with channel shortcut buttons
*2 AAA batteries (for remote)
*USB power cable + power adapter
*Get Started guide
*Special content offers

The Roku Streaming Stick is small, but yet so powerful. What it can do for your world of entertainment is awesome. Here are the Roku Streaming Stick’s capabilities as per the Roku website……

Powerful
The new Roku Streaming Stick delivers powerful streaming – it’s the only pocket-sized streamer available with a quad-core processor.

With 8x the processing power of our 2014 Streaming Stick, the new Roku Streaming Stick gets you to your favorite shows fast, with smooth and responsive navigation and channels that launch quickly.

Simple

Get the entertainment you love and the choice you deserve with easy access to Netflix, Google Play, Cineplex, NGL, and 2,000+ more channels delivering 100,000+ movies and TV episodes.

What you should know: A paid subscription or other payment may be required to access some channel content. Channels are subject to change and vary by country.

Plus with Hotel & Dorm Connect* you can stream away from home – even when a wireless browser-based login is required. Just use your Roku remote and your smartphone, tablet or laptop with a web browser to connect your Streaming Stick®, sign in and start streaming!

Private Listening with your mobile device

Use your own headphones with your iOS or Android smartphone or tablet to listen to the content playing on your Streaming Stick. Get lost in streaming entertainment while keeping things quiet for everyone around you. Connect your new Roku Streaming Stick to the Roku Mobile App, and then watch what you want, when you want, as loud as you want. It even supports most Bluetooth headphones and speakers!

When my Roku Streaming Stick arrived, I had it set up in no time flat. I just had to plug the streaming stick into the HDMI on the back of my television. Then just put the included batteries in the remote and we were ready to go.

We all really enjoyed going through all the available entertainment channels on the Roku Streaming Stick and marking our favorites. There are so many entertainment channels and a ton of them are Free. Yep Free!

Of course there are the usual ones that people are familiar with, such as Netflix. We have a subscription to Netflix, so we put that channel under our favorites.

So why am I happy with my Roku Streaming Stick?

There are a ton of reasons….

*Compact
*Easy to use
*Countless entertainment channels
*Easy to use remote

Here is one big reason that I love the Roku Streaming Stick…..quality.

We used to run our Netflix through the smart blu-ray player that we have. It was always freezing, having trouble loading the movies, and losing connection. We were beyond frustrating. Well, since we stream Netflix through our Roku Streaming Stick, we have not had one single issue with our Netflix. It is enjoyable again to watch Netflix.

A common question is do I need a Roku device for each television and the answer is yes. Having said that, the Roku Streaming Stick is portable and can be moved to different televisions in the house.

Personally, I find the Roku Streaming Stick affordable and think it is more convenient to have a Roku Streaming Device for each television. If you have more than one Roku Streaming Stick, you can link them all to your one Roku account so that all your streaming sticks are synced.

We are very excited with our Roku Streaming Stick. We love all the channels we have now. There are amazing channels for every interest. There are also the well known channels such as Google Play, Cineplex Store, Cinema Now, YouTube, GoPro, NHL, Sesame Street Go, Snag Films, and Spotify, just to name a few from the over 2000 channels available on the Roku Streaming Stick.

The bottom line on the Roku Streaming Stick is that everyone in my family loves it. It is an all in one entertainment solution for the entire family. We love, love, love our Roku Streaming Stick.

I highly recommend you check out the Roku Streaming Stick. You can find out more about the entire series of Roku products, including the Streaming Stick here….
