This low-cost streaming stick plugs right into an HDMI port which you'll find on almost all TVs now. Set up was easy and very fast. The remote control operates both the stick and the TV after I paired it. I use it for DirecTV, Peacock, Disney and other apps that I was able to download. I liked it so much that I bought a second stick for another TV.
The downside, however, is that this "cheap" product doesn't do well with heat. After several weeks of use, one of my sticks disconnected from my home network whenever I turned off the TV, even though I was powering it from a wall outlet. Whenever I turn on the TV, I have to reset it (or power cycle it) to get it connected again. I went over all this with their technical support people, but despite doing all sorts of trouble shooting, including switching sticks between TVs to confirm the problem is with the stick, they still haven't gotten back to me on my warranty claim.
In the meantime, I've learned that they are aware of the damage heat can do with these sticks. They offer a free cable that allows you to keep the stick away from the back of the TV, but it can take a couple of weeks to receive. If you are going to try this product, I recommend using the HDMI extender cable to avoid damage.
Hi Jon, thank you for sharing this with us. We're pleased to hear that you've already requested an HDMI extender as an alternative. We look forward to hearing how it works for you once it arrives and is set up in your home. In the meantime, we will ensure that your feedback is passed along to our product team for future consideration. Thanks again! Elmer, Roku Customer Advocate

The ROKU device is an excellent product. It’s easy to use and very convenient. It can turn any TV into a smart tv with all the streaming apps. Another thing I love about it is that if you have cable and you’re using a box for your cable, you can eliminate the cable box if the Roku is compatible with your cable provider, eliminating the cable box fee. It’s a great product! Go get one! Or a few!

I bought this for my parents and it was way more than what they needed. So I gave them my old one and I’m using the new one for myself. And I will say it’s a huge step up from the past. The talk to text will save you so much time. And it seems to run just a little bit faster.

I'm glad I purchased the Roku stick with voice for my old TV. And at a good price. My new Roku TV came with a remote that doesn't have voice and it definitely takes a little longer to navigate.

This Roku device provided a plug and play experience. Just follow the instructions, apply the update and then just go. Finding his device on sale $15 off is even better.
