    Bought to use with a not-smart older TV to give it more functionality. Works great! Now it has direct access for Netflix, Prime, YouTube, etc.

    Love these Rokus. I have several of them. My family uses them for the Xfinity app and to use other smart apps like Disney+ and Discovery+. Easy setup.

    I bought this Roku device in order to get the Spectrum app. I have both Roku and Firestick devices but only the Roku has the Spectrum app. It works well and no complaints.

    Got this for my mother in law that isn't tech savvy. She has been binge watching series on Netflix, Hulu and Disney+. Simple to set up and use, and I highly recommend.

    Very simple to connect. Probably took longer to remove from packaging than to connect to TV. Able to watch shows only able to watch on iPad before. Well worth the money spent!

    Great piece and inexpensive for kitchen TV. Only issue - an account with Disney+ with commercials does not work. Should not be used for main TV viewing.

    It does everything I need. Only thing I don’t like is having to create a Roku account in order to use it and provide a credit card. Other than that, I love it.

    Hands down the best streaming devices out there. I wished I had tried one sooner. They can get any app you want including Apple TV and Google Music! You really can't beat it.

    We purchased two of these Roku streaming systems. We out them in two older TV's and didn't think we needed the ones for 4K. The sales person agreed, but she didn't explain that the remotes were different. Had we know that the 4K unit's remote controlled the tv, we would purchased those units instead.

      Posted .

      Hi Craig, We appreciate you choosing our products and sharing your experience. Please be advised that some devices come equipped with a Simple Remote. These lack TV controls (Power and Volume), so you must use your TV remote to control these functions. The current line of new Roku devices is limited to the HD Roku Express. In addition, in Roku model releases, the non-plus(+) models are generally equipped with a simple remote. However, if you wish to have functional access to your TV's power and volume buttons using the Roku remote, we recommend the Roku Voice remote. You can refer to this link to compare the remote features at https://www.roku.com/products/accessories/compare. If you have any future inquiries or need assistance, please contact us through our website at https://support.roku.com/contactus. Your feedback is essential and helps us improve our products and services.
      Happy Streaming!
