    It’s a good unit but I wish I purchased the step up as this unit does not have a volume control. Had know that I would have stepped up to the next model. However it does work well on a roll the TV but you need to use second remote for the volume on the TV

    It worked except for the remote. I could not control the volume or on/off switch. I had to go to my TV and use the controls.

      Hi Phyllis, we appreciate you choosing our products and sharing your thoughts with us. 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 Roku Express HD. 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 get in touch with us through our website at https://support.roku.com/contactus.
      Happy Streaming!
      Elmer, Roku Customer Advocate roku

    The Roku instructions very easy to follow. My favorite is I can use my phone like a remote. We misplace the remote often but not our phone. Very happy with my choice.

    I bought it for the spectrum app that the firestick cant get. Spectrum still was horrible even with 116 mbs. The roku worked good but I already had the fire stick. So I returned the ROKU since the only reason I wanted it was for spectrum. Spectrum sucks and will be dumping them

    This is the easiest way to bring tv to bedrooms for my college aged kids. Plug in download the cable app and voila! Easiest thing ever! And definitely worth the price!

    I got this as some of the apps were not available on Fire TV. Now they are on Fire TV. I use this mainly for other locations outside my home now. It's cool when traveling to take all of my content, etc. in a little travel bag. I prefer the Fire TV remote to this one.

    This is my 2nd Roku - just needed the basics (no voice etc) for my non-smart TV so I could stream channels. Set up was easy and it works like a charm.

    Needed a streaming device for my poolside TV and did not want to spend a bundle on it. The Roku Express fit the bill. Inexpensive and does what I need it to do.
