    The Roku is difficult to use and it did not have the access to Fubo.

    Wish I would have just gotten a Apple Tv -- this thing works okay, but apple tv app always logs out and you have to restart for the app to work -- very annoying. Also, this remote will not turn on/off tv or adjust volume, so you need to get the upgraded remote if you only what one remote.

      Hi, Riley. Thanks for sharing your input! We understand how you feel, and we're here to help. Please check the latest version of the app to ensure it's up to date. You may also try to remove, restart, and reinstall the app. Also, some devices have a Simple Remote that doesn’t have TV controls (Power and Volume), so you'll need your TV remote for those functions. The only new Roku devices available are the HD Roku Express and non-plus(+) models that typically come with a Simple Remote. We recommend the Roku Voice Remote to control your TV's power and volume with the Roku remote. For a comparison of remote features, please visit https://www.roku.com/products/accessories/compare. If you have further questions or need assistance, contact us at https://support.roku.com/contactus. Happy Streaming! Bernie, Roku Customer Advocate roku

    Ok for basic streaming. But, for a better streaming experience I recommend the Roku ultra or Roku 4K. Also, this one does not power the TV off and on.

    I like our roku. I have been noticing our tv turns itself on several times a day since adding the roku. I’m not sure if it’s a coincidence or something the roku is doing.

    I used it once a few months ago. I pulled it out today to use it and the remote does not work. No way to contact Roku on their website. Only online information for help. I tried everything about the remote recommended and it states as a last resort to buy another remote. Go to the website and remotes are $20.00. Might as well buy another Roku for that much. Lousy support wit Roku.

    What I don't like is there is no voice search, typing is a pain. And you can not turn it off like you can with the ROKU 4. No frills but might be good for traveling.

    I bought this to go with a TV. The TV stand didn’t fit so I had to return it all. Ended up with a roku TV that I’m happy with.
