    I have owned a fair share of Roku devices over the years, and has technology has evolved, and streaming technologies have changed for the better, in most cases, I leaped on the Roku Express+ after having a Roku Express.

    Works great for getting my subscribed channels, like Netflix &etc. I haven't bought cable for TV in 25 years and don't want it. I can also get YouTube and other free channels on this little thing. Love it!

    For over 2 years now this receiver has worked well and dependably. Would recommend if your TV lacks streaming capabilities. You will find this a great alternative to traditional cable TV.

    I wish this was a lot better than it is. It crashes almost constantly when trying to use it. I've reset it multiple times, unplug it and plug it back in, yet it continues to crash just during normal use.

    I mean, it's a ROKU. It works like a ROKU. It sucks I had to buy a new one just to stream HBO and HULU, but all these technology companies love their planned obsolescence

    NO POWER BUTTON, CAN'T SWITCH BACK AND FORTH

    If it had a O , i would leave it. You have to pay to have channels like fox 4 for cowboys football, and subscribe to them and pay monthly. If you just want to watch old movies and TV shows like perry mason, and there js NO power button on this model, so you can't switch back to cable or dvd or gaming, its a real pain. I had to keep unplugging the it just to play my game.

      Hi Sandy, we would like to help! To switch back and forth between cable, game consoles, or a DVD player, you can use the input button on your TV remote. And while some channels must be purchased or require a paid subscription, many others allow you to watch movies and TV shows for free. You can also visit Featured Free on the home screen of your Roku device. Click here to find ways to locate more free content: https://support.roku.com/article/208756428.

      Your feedback is very important to us and we'll certainly forward it to our product team. Happy Streaming! -Roku Customer Advocate roku
