    Easy to install, gives access to many free programs and my paid streaming services. If you can not get the installation to complete change how it is plugged in to power

    I cannot believe the value of this for the price. We've been chromecast users for years and the price of the new chromecast thing (home?) is debilitating for us to buy and rebuy. This is a fraction of even the former chromecast cost (let alone the home thing) and it is just as functional as the new version from Google and far better than Chromecast.

    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!

      Hi Eric, Thank you for reaching out! If your Roku Express is overheating and glitching, try moving it to a cooler, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and other electronics. Unplug it to let it cool down. Switch to a wall outlet for better performance if you're using your TV's USB port for power. If issues continue, please get in touch with us at support.roku.com/contactus for assistance. Happy streaming! Roku Customer Advocate roku

    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.

    Good, but needs a power off option

    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.

    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 learned about the Roku express streaming system I I really enjoyed using it you have so many options there every single thing you can think about to watch and it’s a big savings on the cable bill because you don’t need the cable box anymore.

    I should have done this years ago, it's an amazing product. I've been paying nearly $300 a month for cable/internet service. I've cut my bill in half, I picked up a $20 antenna from Best Buy for local channels and I'm all set now. I definitely would recommend Roku with a big 5 stars.

    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)
