    The roku is a lot more difficult to use then like say the chromecast. You can not just mirror what is playing on your phone it your tablet. With roku you have to download and download annoying.

    The box has to be reset every other day. It is a big inconvenience when you bought it to be a easy way for the kids to watch whatever they want. Sometimes the picture won't come threw.

    I have 3 rokus (2 streaming sticks and this thing. I had the streaming sticks before this one so I liked the brand and this thing was cheap so I got it hoping for same or better performance. Oh boy was I wrong, this thing doesn't work anywhere in my house. I tried it in spots where the streaming sticks were at and I got nothing absolutely nothing. It didn't detect any networks and this thing is within eyesight of the modem/router that I have. I would avoid this thing and it is a WorstBuy.

    Liked the reviews. Never got to experience this item as I returned it. Started the install process and that required that I not only establish an acct. but give credit card info before I could even look the menu's over or see how it functioned. I should be able to use it and get the feel of it's operation without committing to possible future purchases. That could all be done after a reasonable trial period.

    Skip this product. This Roku is very slow to react to button pushes. I have had to keep reseting this unit for it to work. I recommend skipping this and getting the Roku stick for $34 like I just did. This is basically junk.
