    Bought this to stream in extra room. Only con is that I can't punch numbers to go directly to a channel.

    Outdated Roku

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

    I should have noticed it doesn’t have a power button meaning you have to use TV remote to turn on/off and adjust volume. Cumbersome to use. Regret purchase. Spend more and get one with power and volume controls. This was a waste of money.

    Disappointing and Aggravating

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

    You will here give up all that is familiar and normal in your on-line purchasing, and have to leave the room to enter an obscure code each time you want to buy something, So what was a helpful product becomes a "gotcha." The bad thing here is that Roku becomes the payment hub, and that as a practical matter defeats the purpose in upgrading, Another "bad idea" as with most software changes. Will return this product and revert to our ancient unit vs "upgrading." Original reason for the change was that amazon no longer supports the old units (Roku2), but we can live w/o amazon prime.

    Great picture, horrible support

    Purchased a Roku Premiere from Best Buy. I needed a little help and had some questions in setting it up, only to find on Roku's website that this product does not qualify for any kind of tech support other than e-mail correspondence. Buyer beware!

    I have no idea how it works. I only bought it for future use, my old one is still working fine. I did not try it as it is a hassle to set it up and then hook my old one up again.

    Have another cord on hand

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

    Console itself is great, but the HD cord that came with it was a dud and too short (~1 foot long), so I had to pay $20 for another cord.

    Conflict with LED lights.

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

    If you have LED light strings, the remote will interfere with your lighting controller. Example: every time you click a button, your lights will change colors. I returned this product.

    Why no tv volume or power??

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

    This review is for the Roku Premier Streaming Player (not the stick.) I can't believe the even make a model that doesn't control the tv volume or power. Would never have imagined... Now I just need to go exchange it for the stick for $10 more.

    Rating is for Roku support

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

    The Roku itself is ok and does it's job. My complaint is with Roku and it's non-support. If you have technical issues, you are sent to their website and their DIY troubleshooting. No other way to contact them for support of any kind. No email. No phone number. No chat. When a company sells products with zero to little support, that tells me they don't back up their products.

      Hello, This is certainly not the kind of experience we would hope for you to have and this does not sound like typical behavior. Is this only happening on one channel, YouTube TV?

      Sometimes, performing a system restart on the player can resolve this. Other times, you might need to uninstall and reinstall the affected channels, check the status of your wireless connection, or contact the channel's service provider.

      Our Support site has a robust FAQ article that may help, too. Learn more: https://support.roku.com/article/208755548.

      We hope this helps!

    No longer supported by Roku not working after 6 mo

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

    After less than a year out of the box, unit won't start because of the two rapid blinks issue. No support from Roku (this model was released in 2016, not 2006!), only recourse was to check the community posts which resulted in agreement of buying a new one.

    Default audio is not user friendly

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

    The default preset on roku is movietheatre quality surround sound which only 23% of Americans have in their homes meaning over 70% of customers will have the same problem where it sounds like weird chirping until you change the audio setting to stereo
