    This is my forth Roku device. The first of the newer express models. Other than the physical change on the outside, I can't see that big of a difference in performance. My family and I really enjoy using our Rokus.

    We were wanting to cut our cable connection from AT&T. It was suggested we try Roku. My husband wants his local news so we had to get an antenna. He also wanted his CNBC. So we would have to get a streaming service that carries that in its line up. The antenna is bad news! The Roku does work, we just don’t use it.

    Love it. We we're able to save money on or cable bill by getting rid of the cable boxes. We now use the cable app.

    I just unplugged and switched to all streaming. Utilizing 4 Roku's, each on a separate TV. What would make this product even better? I wish the keys were back-lit and I wish we could customize the preset buttons!

    I purchased this in place of a cable box to watch spectrum. It buffers more than I want but that’s probably due to the structure of the cable lines in my neighborhood. That said, it was worth the $29.99.

    Not very good to other Roku devices I have purchased. It seems like it loses wifi signal easily and the receiver must be clear and visible for the remote to work.
