So fast and easy to use. I recently cut my cable bill to save money, so attached this ROKU to one of my TVs that doesn't have a cable box, as I could still watch LIVE TV with the Spectrum App. I am so happy with it! The selection of apps is excellent, and they load quickly. Way faster and clearer that using my Smart TV!

If you have a good wi-fi network this is easy to set up and with the free channels you can get there is a lot of free entertainment. I returned my Spectrum boxes and lost that monthly fee plus switched to Spectrum Choice plus my internet. This lowered my monthly payment by $40 so I make back monthly what I paid for this. I now have 2 of these. If I bought another I would get the next model up with the on/off and volume on the Roku unit so I would only need one controller.

I originally bought this Roku for me to use. I ended up taking my Daughter's old Roku Stick off her TV and hookup the new one to her TV. This was to see if she can access a certain channels that she was not able to before with her old Roku. I love this particular model due to it having a box on it. Makes hooking up the Roku much easier and have a lot more channels than the old one. It works so much better. I had to go and buy another Roku for my TV. I love this model. You can put the front of the box at the edge of your entertainment center making easier for the remote to connect to. My Daughter and I both love to do Streaming. We get more movies, more TV channels than we do with any other services. You still need a WIFI. There are Wireless Hotspots that you can use with out having a cord to hook up to in order to get TV, Movies, Music without having to pay those fees. We love our Roku's. Yes you do need to have a Roku for each TV that you have. It is so very much so Worth It.

I really love the roku. Smartest purchase I ever made. I was afraid to ditch the high cable service but after setting up the roku on my tv which took like 2 minutes I knew it was the best thing ever. So many different tv shows and movies and apps to choose from.

My 5th Roku device!

I needed to replace a Roku box (that i purchased in 2012) for a 15 year old Insignia tv. The tv is a 1080p and still kicking, so i didn't want to waste money on another television. Nor did i need to spend extra for the 4k devices as its our kitchen tv and cant receive anything higher than 1080p. This streaming device was so easy to install and use that it took more time opening the darn box than hooking it up. Not much has changed since my first box. It is easy for everyone in my home to use, including my 75 year old mother. There's nothing to learn, you point the remote and use the arrow keys to move, nothing more. I have to admit I dislike Roku remote controls so we use our smartphones and tablets to control our devices. Every Roku device has the ability to be controlled this way so it is easier for my mother and I to see the downloaded roku remotes. I love the simplicity of roku brand products and i have never been let down.

Overall, I like the Roku Streaming Media Player, and I prefer it to the Amazon Fire Stick which I have also tried. The Roku delivers better quality, I do not see the annoying "stuttering effect" that I frequently experienced with the Amazon Fire stick. I also prefer Roku's user interface as it is simple and straightforward. I would give this product the full five stars if not for the occasional problems I have with the Roku remote control. Sometimes the remote looses its connection with the Roku streaming stick, and I tried the reset button inside the remote's battery compartment but that usually fails to correct this issue. I found through a process of trail and error that the best thing to do in this case is to just reset the Roku stick by unplugging its A/C adapter and then plugging it back in. Then the remote works again. I would not consider this issue a deal breaker though, as it only occurs occasionally, and when it does occur it is easy to fix.

Bought the 4k TCL Roku TV. We absolutely love it! It's much fun to watch old shows on Roku! We crack up watching Dukes of Hazard, Bewitched, I Dream of Jennie, and Andy Griffith Show! We like the free news channels, too: ABC, CBS, etc. Nice package deal. The remote has buttons for Netflix, Roku, Disney Plus, and is EASY and intuitive to use! Perfect functionality! No extra box for the TV. Easily connects to home wifi and has an excellent picture and sound. The TV phone app is also easy to use and makes controlling the TV with your smartphone really convenient when you misplace the remote.

Have had a 55” LG Plasma since they came out. Perfect picture and function but not a smart TV. Roku makes streaming Netflix, Amazon and others possible. Watched Roku channel movies FREE! Less than 30 bucks gives the TV a facelift.

I was pretty much forced to stream when my satellite provider removed the one premium station i ever watched. I have friends that use the ROKU Express which is why I purchased this device. The price is sooo reasonable. I bought 2 because I have 2 tvs, they were easy to set up and while i got errors when I first set up, i was never 100% if those errors were ROKU or one of the apps i have on the device, but it seems to have worked itself out and i have had no issues. I love that this device is sooo small, you don't even notice it! I am 100% streaming and have cancelled my satellite provider and have no intention of returning to "regular" tv again and I have already converted a few friends to streaming because of this product and experience!

This is probably the 8th or 9th Roku I've owned, and as always works great, easy interface, large selection of apps. Just know that this device needs line of sight for the remote, so don't block the front of the box.

Great alternative to a Cable Box

We recently switched to Spectrum for TV, Internet & Phone. By getting only 1 cable box and using Roku devices for the other 2 TVs, we were able to save a lot of money each month. It's really easy to set up and provides access to a lot of free TV shows & movies right out of the box. Best part is being able to use the Spectrum app, which seems to have more features than the actual Spectrum cable box. The only drawback is changing channels. The remote only has arrows, no numbers, so you have to scroll through the guide until you find the channel you want. Overall though, not a huge issue considering how much money we save each month. Highly recommended!
