We’re big fans of Roku’s tiny web-connected set top boxes
And the Roku Streaming Stick is simply one slimmed down into something resembling a chunky USB memory stick (We can’t wait for Apple to do something similar with the Apple TV) or Google Chromecast. Set up is painless
You plug it into a HDMI slot (unlike other Rokus
It won’t work with CRT TVs
Only newer digital flatscreens)

The size of this streaming stick is larger than the head of any HDMI cable
And some TVs tuck their HDMI ports into the frame of the television. That can make the Roku Streaming Stick a tight fit. Roku its all about its apps
But not much else. There's no
Of course
Roku could've squeezed an extra bit of juice from the Streaming Stick had it decided to use the 802.11ac standard that can handle twice as much data in the same amount of time. Chromecast found a way to do it without raising the price
So I'm n
The Roku Streaming Stick would be a genius bit of kit if it could draw power from your TV without the need for any messy wires. As it is though
It still requires you to plug it into either a mains socket or your TV’s USB port with a micro USB cable
Like the ones you use to charge your phone. It’s perhaps a more elegant solution for wall mounted TVs if you can fit the stick in the side rather th
No Ethernet port means it only works via Wi-Fi
Not a wired connection. Some app interfaces are less polished than on rival devices. Private listening feature loses lip-sync with some Bluetooth headphones

No 'casting' from web yet

Power supply arrangement could be neater
Chunky design may not fit smaller spaces
Operation is not nearly as slick as its best rivals
No voice search on remote
Pricier than Chromecast

Requires power via USB
Some slow loading times
Takes a while to set up
Might be troublesome to install tidily
Still some major streaming services we'd like to see added

Buen control remoto, Buena app (con posibilidad de enviar audio por wifi)
