    These new ROKU sticks are amazing they have volume control onthe side so you can use it for any TV and it also sleeps and comes right back up when you shut the TV off. Just makes my cheap bedroom TV work....highly recommend.

    The roku channel will randomly not let me access anything and randomly have no audio until i restart the whole tv. I only got this to watch 2 broke girls. Just get an Apple TV if youre using it for streaming other services.

      Hello Caden, this doesn’t seem right. Have you checked if your device is running the latest software version? Having the latest version will help you achieve optimal performance with the latest features. To check, press Home>Setting>System>Software Update>Check Now to check for updates manually. In addition, make sure that you have a stable Wi-Fi connection to avoid this issue; try restarting your Wi-Fi router and consider the distance between your device and the Wi-Fi router. For more tips on improving Wi-Fi connectivity, refer to this link at https://support.roku.com/article/213122277#section-1.

    Remote Control Failure

    I like Roku, however, the remote control broke after 5 months. It was replaced in a timely manner under warranty. Not sure how long this remote will last, but I don't remember ever having a remote control go bad on any other device that I have used. The remote control costs as much as I paid for the entire streaming stick package that I bought on sale.

    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.
