    The roku device is really nice. It makes a normal tv smart. However, this one is pretty slow and supports only 2.4 ghz(Wifi), which was a very big disappointment. Even the phone casting/mirroring is not supported I will suggest to buy a higher version of this to have all features available.

    I would give it zero stars if possible. Things started out great we purchased this back in November. However, for the last month or so it has giving us problems. The screen will go gray doing a show. You can still hear it and read the caption but no picture. When I touch it it's warm so I unplug it from the tv and wait awhile to plug it back up. Then it will be fine until the next time it decides to go out. It's not the tv or the channel/program because it will show the roku home screen with no problem but no pictures on the different channels or programs. We also, have other rokus that we have connected to the tv and they work just fine. It is just this roku express. I got this one because I haven't had any problems out of our other rokus but this is our first and last roku express. I wish I would have keep the box but didn't have a clue this would give us any problems.

    I like the fact that this is used to make your current TV a smart Tv but I hate it that this is the first time I ever buy a streaming device and the first one I buy is super slow!!! I have to restart once a day and it's still slow. I don't recommend unless you don't mind a slow device, but besides that it's okay.
