Good product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own and older version of the Roku but after reading the Xfinity website I found I could replace my Xfinity box with a newer version of the Roku stick. The Roku does take the place of the secondary box, it is not as easy with the Roku remote since the Roku remote has no numbers and the setup for Xfinity is slightly different but it serves its purpose and I don't pay extra monthly fees for the small cable box from Xfinity. I do on the other hand receive all the Roku channels so it is a win for me. As I think about it... I did buy the cheapest version of a Roku for $29 and unlike my first one the remote is line of sight which means that the remote has to be pointed right at the Roku device as opposed to my old one which hid behind the television connected to the HDMI port. So the Box they give you is now taped to the bottom of my television so I can point my remote at it. Maybe this cuts down on cost for the least expensive version but it's not a big deal for me.

My second one
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the ROKU devices. I own a few and this one is my second favorite, The first is my TCL ROKU TV. They are easy to set-up and easy to use. This one can get a little to warm so I have mine set-up on a metal heat sink. The memory seems to be limited to about 300 channels depending on how much data the channel needs to function, but other then that I love this one. I also can control it and my TV with a ROKU App on my Cell Phone. This one is much better then the HDMI Stick ROKU because if the remote control goes bad on the HDMI Stick it will no longer function, That is why I bought this second one ( My HDMI Stick won't work any more ).

Just what I was looking for,
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted something for the TV in my bedroom and this is just what I needed. I can access Sling, Netflix, Hulu, etc. and was able to attach it to the top of my mounted TV with the included Velcro strips so that I don’t have cords showing. Very pleased!

Q: QuestionCan I stream live tv sport events with Roko? Videos I can watch on my iPhone?
Asked by Jlb.
- A:Answer The Roku boxes (and sticks) are just a platform from which you access streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc. Those services offer movies and TV shows 'on demand'- some free, some are pay-per-view. There are other new streaming services that offer live TV streaming like Sling TV, Hulu Live TV , Directv Now, YouTubeTV. Most have access to sports channels like ESPN and FoxSports, but you will need to check to see if the streaming service offers the channels you want. Those services range from $20- $60/month depending which bundle you choose. Some offer access to local sports channels, but that is hit and miss. You will need to check that out on their website. Many of the regular TV channels (CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX) are available with an OTA antenna through your TV for free. This is dependent on your reception/antenna, and if your TV accepts an OTA connection-- not all do. Most of the streaming services allow watching on different screens like laptops, iPads or smart phones. You will need to check this out on their websites. Also check out how many screens can be used at one time, as this varies from service to service and bundle to bundle.

Q: QuestionCan your get basis channels like ABC nbc
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Not at all likely. Perhaps you can access your local news if you are lucky as there are lots of channels that continually rebroadcast news segments, Nowhereman channel is good for accessing these channels and Roku has a very decent national news channel. But watching whatever is being viewed on abc or cbs right now in real time. No, You can't. Your best bet is to get a quality outdoor HD antenna and use it for local channels (I get over 30 channels in my area) and use this to watch online content. With the digital TV the signal quality is fantastic, BETTER than basic non hd cable in many cases as most mainstream affiliates are broadcasting in 1080 Definition and surround sound. There is plenty of free content channels, you should have no trouble finding something to watch as they have over 1800 channels. Been a Roku user for going on 5 years now and have 3 of them in my house, and I recommend it over every other brand.

Q: QuestionDo the Roku devices come with "YouTube TV" already loaded as an app? If not, do I have to download an app?
Asked by Scott.
- A:Answer you have to download every app that you want on your Roku. And my advice is to spend the extra twenty bucks and get the better one. The one that is only like $29 is not a very good one. It doesn't have enough speed to keep up with a high speed internet so it is constantly stopping to buffer...and that sucks!
