    We were using a 4-year old version of the Roku streaming player and have been very pleased with this newest iteration. The menu is now more broad and the interface a bit smoother. If you can, I'd definitely recommend a hard-wired connection to your router for more reliable and consistent content delivery.

    It's easy to use but found it a bit slow compared to a TV with Roku integrated. I prefer the Amazon Fire stick because I can have the Dish Anywhere App and use it wherever I go.

    I was disappointed that this Roku remote does not turn the tv on or off or control the volume like my other ones do. You have to also use the tv remote. It was the only one available and I needed it that day for my rental unit.

    The remote works fine but they were out of the one I really wanted so I went ahead and grabbed this one not realizing it had no tv controls. My fault for not paying attention but personally I don't think they should even make one without tv controls, however, that's not Best Buy's fault. Still lovin' BB.
