    We have an old roku 2, so I can't compare this to the newer versions, but it works better than what we have. We bought this one for our daughter and then got another for our son. It's way better than a stick but about the same price

    I bought it because my smart Vizio TV is not so smarter. And now I'm giving some time to my TV to switch to a better TV. This small box is perfect to me. The only negative thing is the WIFI connection is in 2.4 GHz

    The remote stopped working just after 1 day of installing even after multiple tries troubleshooting it, good thing the Roku app remote works perfectly!

    I use this to stream my cable service. I’m glad I decided on it because there are other apps that can be added. If you use the general search there are other apps with free movies. Great product to replace my firestick.

    Great streaming device for the one-time fee. Allows us to have TV anywhere within wi-fi and not being cable wires to TV. Perfect setup for the garage temporary locations. One can bring on vacation also.

    I was trying to get SpectrumTV to play on my TV not connected to cable box. Turns out Spectrum app works on Roku, but not on Amazon Fire or Chromecast. This was a very cheap option to get my cable channels streaming to another TV.

    Roku streaming boxes are excellent for older TV's that didn't come with built-in Smart features, but practically every new TV now has its own smart features or Roku, Amazon, or Google built in!

    If you are in the market to get a streaming device you cant go wrong with a Roku. However make sure to spend the extra money for the nicer models. The remote on this on is IR line of sight and it gets old really quick trying to make it work. Spend the extra money and save yourself the headache

    Makes your tv so much more, my husband loves the fact that he can now watch horse racing without paying for a high priced satellite package just for one channel! There are many more channels available too with ROKU!
