    Buy a Roku and stop paying monthly rent for a stupid cable TV set-top box. Note that it requires an internet connection. Note also that this unit is wireless only (no Ethernet connector), so you must have a wireless router. Setup is fast and easy. Our one complaint is the lack of a numeric keypad on the remote, which means that one must scroll in the menus to reach channels. Boo-hoo-hoo :_> The remote on our first Roku failed after five years. We hope that this one is more durable. In that time we never saw the unit itself freeze or require a reboot, unlike the stupid cable TV set-top box.

    I wanted to replace the FireSticks and the Roku seemed to be the solution. However, a salesman at Best Buy suggested ChromeCast. It worked well, but I had to return it because it didn’t support Xfinity. I got the Roku and so far I haven’t had any problems with it. It’s simple to set up and use.

    I would definitely recommend the Roku Express HD. Bought to use on an old tv for access to newer channels. The picture quality and clarity with this combo is so improved it's like having a brand new tv when paired with Insignia HDMI to RCA Converter. Pleased with ease of installation, converter and Roku set up in under 10 minutes.

    We purchased the Roku- Express due to the LG TV not having some of the apps that we currently use on a regular bases. We were able to purchase the for an excellent price and it works great with the New TV and we are now able to view all of our steaming channels.

    I had an old Roku Streaming Media Player that played ok but I could tell it was time for an upgrade. The old player would get stuck and stop working in the middle of a movie. I purchased the latest Roku Express HD Streaming Media Player and it was very easy to set-up. It plays well and has better upgraded features. I'm glad I made this purchase.

    Wow !! I started out buying the model that went with 4k and earphones. After having my son install this one for myself, went to BB and bought another like this one plus 2 other smaller versions. Now my whole home is ROKU done, but really all my streaming services at the touch of my finger plus many other services with this. Wish I would have done this years ago... A must buy

    I have bought five Roku since my first one I have three in my house and I’ve given two away as gifts. I absolutely love my Roku. You have a great choice of channels and many are free. Has a great variety of different channels for different tastes in movies, sports, classic TV. I love to watch the old shows I grew up with during the 1960s and 70s. I subscribe to two or three premium channels but watch a lot of the free ones as well. A lot less than what you would pay for cable or satellite. I had satellite for years and I enjoy getting free channels now. I recommend a roping for anyone who wants to cut the cord on cable or satellite bills you won’t be disappointed!

    Very happy with this purchase. Never thought I would ever stream content of any kind but finally caved and got the Roku. I am the typical clueless senior but this was so easy to set up, use, and is perfect for my needs, Why did I wait so long?

    Very good value for the price, as long as you don't need 4K. It's small and not intrusive. I used it to convert a monitor with built in speakers to a TV, and it works well for that. It can live stream local news when it's playing, which is about the only thing I use TV broadcasts for anymore, so perfect. I am knocking a whole star off, though for not having a power off option. It gets pretty warm during the day when I'm not using it, which means it's consuming a fair amount of power.

    Cord Cutting at its BEST!

    This is actually my 4th Roku device (all 3 others still in use). We've been cord cutters for >10 years and have used Roku for almost that entire time. The primary advantages come from leveraging a device that was purpose-built for streaming (vs. a TV that happens to have streaming technology added) The variety of apps exceed any smart TV we have, the availability of both free and subscription content is great, set up & use are a breeze and the portability of this new Express means I'll likely take it with me as I travel so I can use my subscriptions on my own device without having to login to less secure, public devices/sources.

    This is an amazing and easily installed technology. It's great that, in my area (Rancho Mirage, CA), Spectrum internet offers a great deal on multiple TV channels, using Roku. I get all the channels I desire, at a much lower cost that previously on cable, and no unsightly wires to hide. The 1080p picture and stereo sound are perfect.

    I purchased this because my google chrome has stopped working for me and a family member has this as well and I thought “I might as well get one of my own since I know how to work it”. Best purchase made. I’m happy with this product and I highly recommend. Fuss free, quick setup, and takes care of viewing platforms (YouTube, Netflix, Hulu)

    Bought two of these. One for each of my daughters 32" Samsung tv's that are smart but 2014 models and don't support Xfinity Stream app. Now they get all the channels and access to the DVR through the Xfinity app that runs on this Roku Express 2019 model. Saves $10.00 each for a box per month. Paid for themselves many times over already.
