I don’t really watch TV much since I have an older one and haven’t invested in a newer setup, but this Roku Streaming Stick was super easy to set up. Connecting it to the TV and Wi-Fi was quick, and signing into all my streaming services took me no time. I’ve owned the Amazon Fire TV Stick before, and while this isn’t a huge upgrade, it does offer better more (small details). Being able to watch TV with my AirPods connected is honestly a game changer. The Roku app also makes things way easier, the remote is fine, but when I lose it (which happens a lot), the app saves me every time.

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

I expected it to be more complicated than it was. I got all 3 tvs hooked up to roku in no time. The platform is really easy to use. I'm glad I made this choice. Only flaw is, I wish the remote was backlit.

I love my new Roku, personally I've found it better than the Amazon fire stick that I've had for 4 years now. Way more option, seemless install, and its more afforable.

Phenomenal little device - In my house I use all AppleTV's but I didnt want the bulk or the cost for something that I use in my RV - it runs off the USB on the TV, the remote can still turn on my LG TVs in there with out HDMI-CEC which is great, and then the TV powers on which powers on the Roku.
While it isnt nearly as polished as an Apple TV, I can still do about everything that I did on them, even watch Apple TV :)
Primarily I use this for Plex/Jellyfin to watch shows and movies on the NAS that I run in my RV as we can't always count on internet for streaming, and I don't want to take up all of the space for a blu-ray player and media.

Great streaming device! Many apps to choose from and turns any tv or projector into a Roku TV. Easy setup and remote can be setup to control the tv functions.

The Roku streaming device is easy to install and provides access to all of my streaming services easily and integrated with my TV in minutes. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Using it on our bedroom TV that we hardly use, so this makes it easy to hook up & we don't need a cable box. Saves us money to for a TV we use only occasionally.

Overall, this product works very good. It allows me to receive local channels on my non-smart TV and to tie in my smart TV from another room as well. Set up was quite easy.

Saved me $200. This device was an easy fix for converting a standard flat screen into a smart device. It loads fast and works well with the wifi and cable provider I have.

I purchased this a few weeks ago and it’s been very easy to use. Everything works as described, and I haven’t run into any issues but so far I’m pleased with the performance.

So easy to use right out of the box! So compact and out of sight! I was looking for a way to mirror what I have to multiple TVs with different programs, this was the easiest and best way of doing so!

I have the Roku boxes so I decided to try the stick so much easier no wires and works great no issues to report. My boxes are old so when they need replacing I will go to the sticks.

Works great, small and easy to plug in and set up. Love how simple the Roku devices are. I had an old TV that was only HD capable anyway, and this works well.
