    The item came and did not work per our Geek Squad Technician. Also the Roku started to buffer when we were streaming on two TVs. My son wants me to keep the cable box from Spectrum in the Basement.

    We upgraded an older Denon receiver and are very glad we did. It manages our 5 speaker system inside and 2 speakers outside. It was easy to setup and integrated with our TV and Apple TV.

    Unfortunately, the excellent open box I bought was overlooked by someone in the quality assurance chain. It was missing key pieces from the sealed box and should have been sold as fair or not at all.
