    The Roku Express was a great addition to my streaming household. The only difference between the Roku Express and regular Roku is that the express remote only controls the Roku itself & not the TV.

    Roku was easy to hook up. It does not come with a plug in. The directions did mention I could use the USB on the back of my TV as a power source. The set up was easy to follow.

    Love it, Simple and inexpensive and does the job. Works well for me for the things I watch and I can take it with me. The first time I used it was at the beach. Their TV was horrible, but this gave me something to watch at night and on the very rainy day we had.

    Just tired of crappy TV over Cable

    Cutting the Cable with Roku saves a ton of money. I’m using this plus a decent external antenna to receive over air broadcasts for local stations. Tired of being a slave to cable that doesn’t work half the time, crappy customer support, frequent outages and just plain misery. I’ll keep internet services but that’s all. Just try to get a live human being with half a brain to answer a question in times of need is like trying to pew up a downspout. I’m done.

    Small learning curve to master. I am older and had someone install it for me and show me how to use it. Thinking of getting rid of satilite company and purchased a roku to test it out.

    I bought this so that I could stream Hulu and Netflix on an older TV. This Roku is simple and easy to use and has buttons to immediately access 4 streaming services - Netflix, Hulu, Sling, and ESPN. The initial setup was quick and easy. I just wish the remote had a volume controller on it.

    This is an awesome little device that gives you so many options for watching streaming services. I got this so we could watch Netflix on our non smart TV. It’s so great and is a good price, I’m thinking of getting another one, since Hulu doesn’t work on our smart Tv anymore.

    I've had this for over a year now and I haven't had any real issues...it's doing what it is meant to do. Every now and then, the Roku home menu drops to a lower resolution (i.e. "zooms in" so that all of the icons are much larger than they should be), but it doesn't affect navigation and tends to correct itself. The reason I got this lower-end Roku was because I was connecting it to an old 720p TV, so not sure if the old TV is what confuses the resolution from time to time. But it works well with my wifi (I do have a pretty reliable wifi setup) and gets the job done. I also have a couple Roku Ultras connected to nicer TVs, and do sometimes wish I had the nicer remote and the remote locator...but just didn't seem worth the extra fifty bucks for a lower res TV.
