Does not work with Tablo 4th Gen
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is pretty good for streaming but will not work with the tablo 4th gen. Have tried all the tablo workarounds that I could find but nothing works so waiting on a roku fix which is apparently not going to happen since this has been an issue for a couple years

4K unit won’t connect to WiFi.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought several Roku sticks for an Airbnb I was setting up. This one was the only 4K unit. All the others setup easily and connected to my WiFi fine. This 4k unit, for some reason just would not connect to my WiFi. I tried many times. I replaced with a non-4K unit and it works.

Not a good device
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Roku 4k device needs daily resetting to work. By resetting, I mean I have to pull out the plug each time I want to use it and replug it into the power source. Otherwise, there's always an error message asking me to pull out the HDMI plug.

Posted .Hi there! Thank you for sharing with us. For a quick resolution, it is essential to ensure that your device is operating on the latest software version, as this will significantly enhance its functionality and provide access to the most recent features. To verify, please navigate to Home > Settings > System > Software Update > Check Now. Additionally, one potential reason for this issue could be related to the power adapter, cord, or outlet. If you haven't already, please ensure that everything is securely connected at the back of the TV. We also recommend using an adapter with a power output of 5 Volts and 1 Amp (1000 mA) and plugging it into a wall outlet. Connecting to a wall outlet has the added advantage of ensuring that your Roku streaming player doesn’t need to power up each time you turn on your TV, allowing your player to be ready for use faster than if it were connected to the TV.

Not that great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a roku TV, it has slowed terribly. I bought the stock to keep my ui consistent but it turned out to be a disappointment. Getting slower with each week and i don’t see it going strong for long. Just got and tried fire stick, it seems to be snappier and smoother to navigate ( so far) but I’m confident fire stick is the better choice.

No way to get wall power, only USB
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No way to plug into wall power so if your TV doesn't have a USB port or doesn't deliver enough power through it, you are out of luck. Also, BestBuy fulfillment sucks. Order confirm gave delivery date a day later than the page when ordering. Then, they didn't fulfill it in time and shipped a slow/cheap way so it was four days later than originally promised. Never ordering from BestBuy again.

Roku not needed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought Roku thinking I would need it. TV I bought was a smart TV and had enough apps on it. Ordered online and picked up in store in eatontown. Try to return Roku to store, was told it was over 14 days and I could not return it. Not happy about that, never realized there was a 14-day return policy.

Posted .Hi Ares, thank you for sharing your experience. The Roku Streaming Stick does need to be powered through its USB-C connection, and some TV USB ports may not provide enough power for reliable operation. In those cases, using a standard power adapter is a great alternative; any compatible adapter you trust should work. If your Roku device still isn’t powering on or you encounter any other issues, our support team is ready to assist you.
