    Instead of paying the 8.00 a month rental fee for the Spectrum box, I am using Roku and streaming my programs.

    I bought this to put on a tv in the bedroom. I wanted something cheap. So far it works great. I have no problems streaming anything on it. Set up was easy, and the interface is nice. It is a little slow loading apps like Netflix, Hulu, amazon, and sling tv. It doesn't bother me because it is on a bedroom tv. If it was on a living room tv I would get one of the more expensive faster roku.

    Easy to use and set up. Can add just the services I use so it's not a cluttered menu like with other streaming products. Not a bad buy for the price.

    Roku - Express Streaming Media Player ROCKS!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My Roku - Express Streaming Media Player rocks! I purchased a Samsung 40" LED TV from Best Buy a couple of Christmases ago. It's a wonderful quality TV, but it isn't a Smart TV. I read the online reviews of the various stand alone Roku devices & saw that Best Buy was offering the Roku - Express Streaming Media Player for $29.00. I received a sale price alert from another retailer for $19.00. I brought this on-line price alert with me to my local Best Buy & they matched the price in the blink of an eye. I brought the Roku - Express Streaming Media Player home & plugged it into my Samsung TV following the easy to read insulation guide the came with the Roku device. The simple & simple to use Roku remote has everything you need to access the Roku features & you never have to worry about searching through endless buttons to make it work. Then I spent a while exploring & selecting & installing the seemingly infinite streaming apps to personalize my Roku to my own personal viewing preferences. I've been using it for several months & it provides quality images & sounds to my LED TV. the Roku interfaces very well with my home Wi-Fi system. It sure beats paying a monthly fee to cable & feeds my binge watching needs when my life spirals in that direction. I recommend this device to anyone needing an efficient & easy to use Smart device experience.

    I bought it so I could watch tv in my bedroom. I can watch live channels from comcast app just like having a box. But no monthly fee. Great deal...

    I like it better than the amazon stick. The amazon stick skips and pauses all the time. I haven’t had that problem with this stick. Much smoother

    This works well for a TV in our extra room to stream Netflix and ESPN and saves us adding an additional cable box that would rarely get used.

    Roku works on older Projection TV

    Got this for a family member who has an older big screen projection TV that just happened to have an HDMI port. Installation was easy, went online and downloaded channels, and registered through phone the ones that needed a subscription password - easy. Although content is limited, without full subscriptions to networks, other channels were easy to connect to and has all the current shows. For the price, it beats cable hands down.

    I literally have a Roku running every tv in my home now! I am obsessed with it! My daughter even asked for a Roku for Christmas for her bedroom! This is so great. I cut the cable. Switched to the Roku and I save so much money! Plus it is extremely user friendly. I can’t remember what life was like before my Roku and I never want to find out again lol.

    Set up was easy. Most of the apps loaded fast, only 1or 2 lagged. I've had it for about a month and a half with no major issues.And for the price I paid $16 I am satisfied.
