Roku Streaming Stick

Streaming Stick

I bought a Roku 3 a year ago, and I use it every day. Since Roku stores all of my channels and settings in an account, I assumed that when I plugged the purple, pack-of-gum-sized Streaming Stick into an HDMI port, all I’d need to do was log in to my account and I’d be set. I was half right, or at least I was when I figured out that I had to plug the Stick into both an HDMI port and either a power outlet or a USB jack (just like a Chromecast).

Once you’ve plugged it in, waited two minutes while it boots, and logged on to your Wi-Fi network, signing in to your Roku account from your phone or computer does start an automatic download of all your channels. But then every time I opened an app, I had to log in again sometimes it required a username and password, others I had to go to my computer, log in, and activate the Streaming Stick from there. It’s an easy process, and only has to be done once, but it was about 15 minutes before my Streaming Stick really felt set up and ready.
