    This roku item has a problem and roku customer service is terrible. I purchased the other 4k that is the small box and not the stick. The small box works better.

    It is hard to get what you would like to see on this stick. May be there is a better receiver in Roku but they need to explain more. Also, software update and linking to internet if you change the service provider is not that intuitive.

    The product lagged a lot straight out of the gate. I contacted support and was told the product had updates the manufacturer was sorting through within 24 hours. I waited 2 days just because I like to give a little leeway and it still was not operating smoothly.

    Reconditioned presented as new product

    I bought this several months ago and it is starting to not work. Unresponsive to the remote and delayed response when using the remote. I just took a look at the roku stick that plugs into the TV and see that it has a wrapper on it that says reconditioned. They absolutely presented this as brand new and even had all the packaging perfectly done like it was brand new. I reviewed my purchase and it still doesn't say anything about reconditioned or refurbished when I bought it. It was an online purchase pickWed up at a store.

    The remote doesn't always work once you press on. On has to be pressed a second time. The volume malfunctioned. I put it on mute and had a difficult time getting it to return to sound. I put in new batteries, but the issues persisted.

      Hi Beverly, thanks for sharing with us. It is advisable to consider the Wi-Fi connection as a potential cause. To resolve this, we recommend unplugging your Wi-Fi router for a minimum of 60 seconds. In addition, perform a system restart on your Roku device by navigating to Home>Settings>System>System Restart. Also, try connecting to a different network, like a Mobile Hotspot, to find out if the issue is with your Wi-Fi router or Roku device. Lastly, reinstallation of the affected channel is recommended. You can refer to this link to learn more at https://support.roku.com/article/208755548#section-5. If the issue persists, let us know at support.roku.com/contactus.
      Thank you!

    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.
