    I like having Roku! My friend installed it on my TV and didn’t have any trouble with the installation. My store experience was very positive. The Best Buy employees that helped me were very knowledgeable.

    Doesn't work well for travel

    I bought this for the price and size, and feel I've made a terrible mistake on both accounts with this purchase. I bought this exclusively as a travel streaming device, not wanting to deal with streaming sticks; and unless you're in a hotel without a captive portal for Internet access it flat doesn't work. I succeeded exactly one time using its captive portal support with an iPhone, twice with an Android (meaning I connected to the WiFi network it sets up called Direct-Roku-something or other AND got a browser to open the captive portal), never with a windows laptop. Another negative is you can't cast to this device, it is too skimpy to support casting. If you get lucky enough to have a network without a captive portal, you better have a ton of patience. Click a button, it appears to not have caught it with its narrow IR sensor, move the remote a bit click the same button, move the remote again, click the same button, start to feel maybe you should reboot it for the 3rd time tonight and all the sudden all three clicks go through in a second and you're no where near what you were trying to accomplish. With all that said, occasionally when the stars align and I have 20 minutes to wait for button clicks to accomplish something, it succeeds in streaming video, so thus two stars.

    This model is an upgrade from a previous one. It is very easy to set up and navigate through. There are numerous channel choices with something for everyone. The unit takes up minimal space. It certainly works for me.

    We have a Roku ultra in the living room. The remote for it gives you the ability to turn the tv on and off, control the volume, and do voice search. With this model, we have it in the bedroom. It doesn’t have any of those capabilities with the remote. I would honestly just go ahead and get the Ultra. The product still works great though!

    Works well, does what it says. I am glad that we purchased this, as we cut the cable TV cord. I am fine with the offerings, but we find ourselves still paying for other streaming services.

    Perfect except for no 5G connectivity

    Roku makes good devices, but I don't understand why the Roku Stick and Ultra are the only two devices of theirs that read 5G (our internet provider has a lot of issues with 2.4 in my building but 5G works great). Every other streaming device allows you to connect to both. It's strange, since Roku has the best interface and compatibility.

    This product was easy to set up. It gets all the streaming channels I need. If you don't have a smart TV, or if you have an older smart TV that won't get all the different networks, this is a great solution.

    I love the ROKU plug in. I will never have to pay for cable or equipment again!!!!! The only reason no 5 star rating is no volume buttons on remote. Have to use TV remote for sound. I have one on all the TV'S in the house
