    While this is one of the better options, these overheat occasionally and lockup on Netflix in the middle of certain movies/shows. Go on Amazon and get the Roku TV remote so you can have Roku remote and TV power/volume on the same device. Get the programable one.

      Hi Chis, thanks for letting us know about your experience. Please know that it is normal for the device to get warm during use, but if it's excessively hot, it could indicate an issue with airflow or placement; if you see an on-screen overheating message, you should move it to a cooler, more open area. In addition, if you're looking for a remote with power and volume buttons, we recommend choosing our Roku voice remote ( RCA1R ). Cause the Roku TV remote is intended for TV functionality only. You can refer to this link to learn more about the feature on this remote at https://www.roku.com/products/accessories/compare. For further queries, feel free to visit us online at support.roku.com/contactus. Thanks! Elmer, Roku Customer Advocate roku

      Hi Cecelia, thanks for reaching out. Please know that the Roku Express uses two cords to power the device. The HDMI cord plugs into the HDMI port on your TV and the USB power cable goes into the TV's USB port. If your TV is not equipped with a USB port, you can use a power adapter and plug this cable directly into the wall. If your you're still having any troubles getting setup, please contact us at support.roku.com/contactus so that we can assist you directly. Thank you! Roku Customer Advocate roku

    Cheap solution to Hi-Tech Dilemma - Roku

    Had to purchase a streaming platform for our older "Smart TV". Netflix no longer will support our Smart TV platform. We suddenly, one day, couldn't access our Netflix streaming. Needless to say, another "hi tech" aggravation. We reviewed the various streaming choice hardware, Roku seemed to be the best choice for us. The "basic" unit was about $25 and very easy to install/set-up. The remote is compact and very user friendly. One button to get us into Netflix. The Main Unit is small and easy to find a good place to put it. If you purchase this Roku unit, be sure to cancel your "Free Trial" subscriptions BEFORE the "trial end" date, otherwise you'll be billed for it. Oh yeah,...you need to provide a Credit Card to activate this unit. This is a bit annoying, even if you don't want any "pay for" subscriptions or other streaming sources. Otherwise, it's a good price to allow us to use our very well running older Smart TV with out Netflix service. Also, the Roku remote that we purchased (basic unit), does NOT have TV controls, which is fine for our needs. We use the Smart TV remote to control the TV audio, since we've got a sound bar attached to the TV. We only need to Roku remote to activate Netflix. You can also access all the Roku features, if interested, with their Remote. We think this Roku unit is a cheap solution to our problem, without investing in a new Smart TV, or other more expensive streaming platform.

    Set up was a breeze, and I had Netflix running in minutes. This little device is perfect for anyone who just wants to stream without the tech headache. The interface is super easy to navigate, and even my mom figured it out without needing help (major win!). It doesn’t take up any space, the remote is responsive, and the streaming quality is sharp. If you want quick, affordable access to all your shows without overthinking it, Roku Express does the job beautifully.

    Recently cut the cable TV cord, this is my 1st streaming device. Clear instructions, easy to set-up, basically plug-in HDMI and go! Picture quality is fantastic on my 6-yr old Insignia HD TV. Have used for a week and it's great. Also purchased the remote cover in purple, great buy for the price. High recommend both!
