    this device is glitchy. 3rd on e of these and eventually all remotes quit and device start acting weird with rolling screen. The remote that comes with it doesn’t have power or volume control which is a change as my other two both had volume and power controls. Many other streaming devices that work better. This one will go in the garbage and I will not purchase another ROKU!

    It's a Roku streaming device. It does exactly what it is intended to do. Is it poor? No! it does what it was designed to do. Is it Great? No! it didnt do anything more than what it was made to do.

    doesn't work that well, but no returns by the time you conclude that - so don't bother saving $ on this one, save time and upgrade to a streaming stick or better product in the first place.

    It would be okay except it does not have a volume button. What kind of remote doesn't have a volume button.

    Im a self employed electrician and needs a media device for a customer. Unfortunate that I had to go through 3 Rokus to get one that works. The first arrived by UPS and appears to be stepped on. The second Ruko device didn't have any audio output through the HDMI port. 3rd is a charm. Who is going to pay for my wasted time setting these Rukos up. Set up is difficult and time consuming with NO technical help available. No phone # for Ruko. Your emails go unanswered as well. Buy the apple product, its worth the money.

    Bought this roku May 22, 2020 and it was working fine. It was easy to use and everything was right there on the home page app wise. But today 7/9/2020 it keeps rebooting and I don't know why. I unplugged it. I reset the device, looked for possible updates....there was none. maybe it is over heating? Can't even return it as BB only has a 2 week return window. Should have just bought another fire stick instead. Waste of money

    I'm not impressed with this unit too hard to navigate around from channel to channel. My daughter says it's the result of spectrum not working with the unit which is done on purpose my spectrum.

    This item works well but it doesn't have a power on/off switch for the tv nor does it have volume control. You must use the tv remove for this.

    Easy setup but keeps losing interest connection. We have a great WI-FI connection so after talking to some I.T. people they said this was an ongoing problem with Roku.

    Disappointed. The only channels you get are Roku, and they are simply useless channels. To get to any real programming, you have purchase them.

    Rogue seemed like a good idea but I found it very difficult to get to live tv. When all was said and done it was just as costly a month as cable. I sold it on Facebook

    Not very useful, we've used it MAYBE a handful of times since our purchase date. too many apps need to be purchased for it to be worth the money

    It is fine for someone who doesn’t have a SMART TV or other device, but, honestly, my PS4 is better. But economically, this is an ok, cheaper option.
