    Everybody has their preferences, but I like the ease of this over the Amazon Firestick. I do not have Amazon Prime, so I don't care to have the Fire Stick. Everything is faster as a result of using the Roku. A few things that I like to watch are available through the Roku, which made it easier to buy.

    No bells and whistles for the remote. Great for streaming. Haven't had any issues. This model is a bit low end but gets the job done

    This item turned my TV into an antenna TV without a coaxle, as some guy broke my coaxle off my 20-year-old LCD television 55 inch so I couldn't hook up an antenna. So I used this roku device, and I'm able to stream on it. And I added a Tablo, so now I can watch the local TV stations now on my TV that does not have the antenna coaxle anymore. Someone got rough handed taken off.The cable and just twisted the whole coaxial off.

    Easy to use, plug and play. Provide easy to follow instructions. The picture quality is excellent for my streaming. I put one in each of my guest room and office. My guest love it and it is nice not to have to pay a monthly fee to a cable or dish provider to be able to watch tv shows in any room in the house.

    My Samsung Tizen OS is a bit confusing, apps hang up and is generally a mess. I fell back to the tried and true Roku, intuitive menus, great signal quality, I may have bought the stick though the sale price was too good to pass up for the express. Frustration eliminated, I can enjoy my whopper screen TV without having shows dropped or frozen at just the wrong moment.

    Very easy to setup , even has the new Disney Network. All the Roku boxes, not the stick version will work with Infa Red , remotes, the Amazon Fire Stick will not. Can give new capabilities to an older flat screen . Also you can cut away from cable by using the Roku with any of the video sharing plat forms like U Tube for example.

    I bought this Roku Express mainly for being able to access our shows saved on our Comcast TV DVR through the Comcast beta app. It works well, not only with Comcast but all the common streaming companies like Netflix and Amazon. It is in our guest room so it does not get heavy use but it works when we need it.

    I only use Roku products for their reliability, ease of use and price point. The Roku App works great, especially using it for a remote. I have been impressed with the performance of Roku products and will continue to use them.

    The Roku stick gets my apps on screen quick so that I can get into my apps a lot faster than it would be without the stick. I like that because I was having to wait for my Smart T.V. to "warm up" before I could get into my cable app. I have 3 of these and they are all very convenient and make my smart T.V.s very intelligent.

    Overall easy to use and worth buying. Yes you have to have a streaming platform to get most things but roku comes with free shows to watch and streaming in most cases can be cheaper than cable/other options.

    Bought this as a gift a while back and it's absolutely worth it. The tv where it was going to be connected to still works fine and all so there wasn't a need to purchase a new TV. The Roku stream turns the TV into a Smart TV pretty much. Haven't had any issues with it, straight forward to install and set up.

    I have been streaming TV through Roku since cutting the Direct TV cord. I am receiving a lot more service for a lot less money. The channels are crisp and clear. And the extras received thru the Roku device are wonderful. The cost is so minimal in comparison to cable or satellite. I'm sold.

    It is easy to set up and to navigate once it's up and running. I havent had any issues streaming. The only thing I was surprised about is that you can turn of the tv screen but the light to the roku streaming player always stays on. I read that it's ment to be instantly ready to go when you need it that is why the light always stays on... just like the how a light is alwaya on the tv even when it's off. I went on tu research even more because I was concerned that it was eating up internet data. I read that it will always eat a little bit of data even when not in use but not like when your actually streaming a movie or show. Since the Roku is on a tv that seldomly gets used I use disconnect everything roku and TV and connect it when someone wants to use it. It does not take long to power back on.

    I needed a streaming device for my kitchen TV. Didn't need much. Just to get to a streaming service. My major TV viewing is in another room. This Roku is great for my purpose. It's simple and very easy to use, and has all of the channel apps that are on my major TV streaming device.
