    I'm not a fan of the Roku user experience. There are better options available that cost more but are work much better than this. User options are limited and the interface looks incredibly dated.

    Bought it specifically for spectrum app but found out they discontinued the spectrum app 2020 of Dec. I found older reviews were misleading everyone to buy it for the spectrum tv app.

    It works good, if you can get it to remain connected to the Wi-Fi. When I turn my tv off it gets kicked off and won’t sign back in for days at a time sometime

    I would give this a zero if I could. Bought this for older TV. Salesman at best buy said it would work. Did nothing! Now I’ve opened the box and can’t return it. What a waste.

      Hi Dave, thanks for your review! It's possible that there may be an issue with either the cable or the adapter. You can try using an alternate cable or power adapter to power the device. If you're currently using the TV as your power source, try plugging the device into a wall outlet instead.

      We have a helpful FAQ article on our website with more details if you're still experiencing issues: https://support.roku.com/article/217787747

    Not working for Hulu - 2 months

    I have another Roku device which I've used for the past 5 years or so. I've never had any issues with that, so I was disappointed when buying the Express to find it glitchy. With Hulu, there has been an ongoing glitch for the past 2 months where adverts interrupt shows, and continue to display over the program. I've also had issues with it crashing when using Sling. Unfortunatly since Roku have not bothered to fix either issue which have been reported to them months ago - I'm returning this and buying something else!

    The price was too high, considering it DIDN’T come with a thing that you could plug into an outlet, because, I’m not sure how much one of those things go for but, if you don’t know someone close to you that has an extra one they could spare, that’s just another thing you have to buy. I mean, come on - - for $30.00, EVERYTHING you need SHOULD BE included.
