    The Roku Streaming Stick 4K was functioning fine up until two weeks ago when pressing the OK button became an issue . The button needed to be pressed firmly to engage but even the it did not work every time.

    Might have been the way it had to plug into our tv. The power cord on the stick plug sat on top pulling on it more than what seems it was made for. Might work better on different tv.

    I purchase 2 of these. Both have the same problem. When the tvs are turned on the HDCP error screen comes up when I try to stream YoutubeTV. I unplug the sticks and plug them back in and the error goes away. I have tried all of Rokus trouble shooting. Nothing fixes it. One tv is LG other is Samsung. 5 year old Roku works great. Many complaints on Roku website for the same problem. No solution that I can find

    ROKU -- TRASH KU

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Best Buy rep was very good on going over the different features of Roku, which I bought when my regular service Verizon, DROPPED ONE AMERICA NEWS. But after a week or so, Roku changed One America to a paid service, rather than what was advertized as free. Further ROKU gets a ZERO rating in itself. First you can not fast forward on commercials; second if you watch part of something, the show may not be there when you go to see the end of it and even if it is there, the system does NOT keep taps n where you ended, so you have to watch it all again or try to skip to the right spot. Their selection of shows would need improvement to get to the Blockbuster level ! DO NOT BUY!

    Wouldn't pair with AV Receiver.......

    Disappointing. Would not pair with Receiver or tv sound. Would have to use two remotes to watch tv which is unacceptable. My Xfinity Flex box does pair completely and I only need their remote to do the job. Will use the Roku in my bedroom for light use.

      Hello, we appreciate the feedback and we'd like to offer some assistance! Your Roku player remote is designed to control volume and power for your TV. It cannot directly control other devices connected to your TV, such as an audio/video receiver (AVR) or soundbar.

      However, your TV may be able to issue volume commands to your AVR or soundbar using a technology called HDMI CEC. In these cases, your new remote can indirectly control volume for your AVR or soundbar. For this to work, all your devices must be connected via HDMI, and all devices must support HDMI CEC and have this feature enabled.

      We offer direct instructions on how to enable HDMI CEC at the bottom of this helpful FAQ page: https://support.roku.com/article/360034303013.

      We hope this helps!

    No separate AV Receiver option that I could find.

    I was very disappointed with this product. I was planning to replace the Amazon Fire TV stick with this streaming unit but it didn't work out. I have an AV receiver that controls the surround sound for my TV which I had connected successfully and easily with the Fire stick. I tried for several hours to do the same with the Roku but without success. I tried several suggestions that I got from Google, but my Denon AV unit is too old (about 11 years). Apparently the Fire stick found the Denon without any prompting from me but I could not find any way for the Roku to see it. Without the AV receiver connected, the TV sound control works fine. But, that is not what I wanted.

    Our previous Roku s worked fine this unit seems to not connect to the TV. There is an HDMI error message almost every time we start the unit. I tested the HDMI connection with the older ROKU from the den and it works fine.
