    Nice to have especially the option to get spectrum on it. A lil more tricky than the fire stick but a few times around and you will get use to it

    I don't really like Roku very much, but if you find this on sale and don't mind the ads and the slight slowness, then pick it up.

    I rather enjoy Roku, and have several Roku TVs but I have two TV's that work but aren't smart TVs. This particular product was to turn them into a "smart" TV. But it seems to have a memory or connectivity issue that causes the channels to lag.

    Simply Won't Work, Roku Tech Support Useless

    Useless device. Wouldn't access my network (despite other devices in my house having no problem with this). Called Roku's tech support line, waited on hold for about 30 minutes, then spoke with a barely intelligible 'service' rep who had no idea how to solve the problem. A complete joke.

    The distinguishing feature of ROKU products is navigation. The menus make sense and it is easy to add apps, and access apps on the ROKU product. Easy install - good WiFi performance.

    This is a Roku stick that provides streaming cable, free, however, without strong, fast, reliable Internet this product will not perform well. Making frame rates very slow but only recommend buying if fast Internet with new TV.
