    We've had two of this product and several of the ROKU Express models. Overall, ROKU products are a pain in the butt! The stop working, they re-boot themselves and I've had to replace the remotes. Though it's the least amount of trouble when compared to the FireStick. Not one that I would personally recommend.

    The last two streaming sticks I purchased have not been the greatest. No sure if they are not making them as well but I am having a lot of technical issues with the last two I purchased. Picture not showing up and I have to unplug and plug back up to get the picture when using the Roku. Could not return to store after 14 days so I was stuck with products.

    I bought this because its wireless connection allowed me to place a TV on a wall without calling the cable company or renting another box from them. So simple to connect a boomer can do it.

    Actually works less effectively than the previous Roku streaming device I gave away, though this new one runs cooler. The main problem is the volume control; it is unreliable and volume gets stuck and will not move up or down. This is a known problem.

    Plug it in, sign into your accounts, and turn any hdmi enable tv into a smart tv. We had an older smart tv and it was painfully slow. This made it feel like that old tv is new tech.

    Very unstable after installation and activation

    I've been a Roku user for many years. This was the most troublesome activation. It took at least 6 times to get it to work and it's still not stable. After successfully completing installation, it will sometimes de-pair the remote, reject the video feed for some digital protection scheme it says I don't have for 1080p, or just blanks out the screen without warning. In addition, I had to de-activate TV control, since it would only increase to max or decrease to min a single push of the volume control. I was just about to package it up and return it, when I gave it one more try. If it fails again, back it goes. This is with a Vizio TV that has previously been running with a Roku 3 without problems.

    I had to return this due to it not being responsive. It would only work about half the time. I exchanged it for the other model that was 4k as well. I think it was a signal issues. But this is the first model I've ever had issues with.
