    Looked promising, but ultimately returned it and went with a digital antenna instead.

    I bought this for a Vizio TV. While it is a smart TV, the operating system is slow by today’s standards, and getting new apps is not a possibility. The Roku is perfect for this. The OS is quick, i get more apps and channels as well. Couple different ways of connecting to your TV/power source as well.

    It worked as advertised but the signal strength wasn't strong enough. We ended up returning the product and purchased the Roku Soundbar and everything is working properly now.

      Hello! Thank you for taking a moment to share your experience. It's a bit unusual to have to change your batteries so frequently under normal usage and we have a few tips that may help. It may help to utilize a different power source. For example, if your Roku player is currently powered by the USB port on your TV, we would recommend that you connect the USB cable directly to a wall outlet or power strip. We also recommend power cycling your player regularly and invite you to contact our team if this continues at support.roku.com/contactus so that we can assist you directly. Happy Streaming! Bernie, Roku Customer Advocate roku

    Basically a good product but it is hard to work around the Roku platform. Apple TV is much friendlier but pricier.

    Not all it’s cracked up to be. Can’t get much local. Some things cost money. Actually for $50 it is pretty much useless.

    Doesn't stay in slot.

    Bought this mainly so I could watch a free trial of AppleTV+ and it works fine for that. And I wanted the stick version so I didn't have another piece of equipment cluttering the area in front of the TV. However, the stick does not stay secure in the USB slot and I have to constantly adjust it and sometimes re-install the Roku system. Luckily it is a 3 month trial for the streaming service and will toss the Roku after that. I do have another Roku system with the box in the bedroom and it works fine. I just don't recommend the stick version.

    I like it and have others. However, the remote could be larger with the control buttons spaced further apart and easier to operate.

    Directions for setup by novices are very poorly written. Also decided not to use it based on how it works. I will not be paying subscription prices for multiple sites.
