I would give it 5 Stars, but the 50 cent item (1" HDMI extender) you have to order online. I would say that at least 50% of users are going to NEED this extender!!! Granted it's free and so is shipping, but it took over 2 1/2 weeks before I received it. Why not just include such a necessary, inexpensive item that is so hard to get otherwise, with the product ??? It truly takes away from its superior performance and industry superiority.....shame on you ROKU!!!!! I NEVER waste my time on reviews, but felt it important enough for the consumer and manufacturer here!!

This stick takes a while to set up. Hopefully your a roku regular because its all done on a roku site. Its still setting up after 10 minutes of downloading and I have a blazing fast connection/router/etc. I think they could and should have done some of this at the factory. Its auto sensing/connecting to your tv was instant. Didnt have to do a thing. Power and volume is great but on this they even added a mute button. Wish it worked on people, 1 in particular. Anyways its done uploading and setting up. Lots of new themes, last 1 had maybe a couple. Also we can change closed caption size, style, color, opacity, background color and opacity and the window. I only use it on reply or when the mute button doesnt work if you know what I mean but its nice to not have to replay more because I cant read it. Lots of new stuff, certainly worth the $50 they charge, i should have got 2 when it was on sale for 1/2 of that. I got this for a room where 1 had gone bad but have to use it in my tv room because that 1 just went bad. What the heck roku. A few years, ok maybe 10 but still. This one comes with a remote long range wireless reciever and an extension usb. If you need an extention hdmi they will send you 1 free. So either get this 1 or the ultra, dont mess around with the less expensive 1s, its only a few bucks. Also remeber these can go bad so dont buy it used. Watch model #s too because they change as the time goes by but the name can stay the same. Good luck.

My Roku stock arrived quick! Luv how it works with my tv & all the options I have now!

way of watching TV that actually works or customer with no hidden feels quaintly item and very cool

I would not recommend this product to anyone. I have had nothing but issues with it since I purchased it. Most of the time I have to unplug it from the tv wait for it to reset (this is from their customer support - web only solution) then plug it back in. The remote will then sync and I can watch my shows. Until the next time I have to turn on the tv and I have to start the process all over again. The sales rep at Best Buy advises buying a power strip so the I don’t use the TV which could cause issues. Which I did and I have been using since day one. Forum groups say to disable the screen saver feature ( the issue I am having seems to be a very common one with Not what I thought it was going to be. Terrible customer support system

Love my new gadget the Roku. I have now 2 FOR MY PERSONAL AND GUEST USE.

I had a Roku 3 for years. I lost the remote so I replaced it with this. My AV reciever is located in a closet and the old Roku 3 remote work perfectly. This one did not! I have gone to the trouble to rework my system so that the Roku stick is plugged directly into one of the hdmi ports on the tv in the same room and then used the HDMI ARC from the tv to get the sound back to my audio video reciever. Still having trouble... Every day sometimes two, I have to remove the batteries from the remote, unplug the power to the stick which is behind the wall mounted tv and then put it all back again to get it back working. Talk about a pain in the rear! I wish I had my old Roku 3 back!

I am totally satisfied with this product to the point of giving it 4 starts - I also have a Fire stick and the voice control on the Fire stick is much better hence the 4 stars. The Roku supports Dolby DTS surround sound as well as Dolby Atmos and Dolby audio. The Fire stick only supports Dolby Atmos. So I have the Roku on my TV that has surround sound and the Fire stick on the non-surround sound TV. With the Fire stick on the surround system there is no surround sound unless you are watching a broadcast that is out putting Dolby Atmos. This is where the Roku is much better with Dolby DTS, Dolby Audio formats as well as ATMOS. With this you really can cut the TV Cable cord - I would add one more thing with the Roku beware that there is a phone number that may pop up if you need assistance installing the Roku. There are a lot of scammers out there telling new Roku owners that since 2019 Roku is now charging a subscription to use this product and they can offer you a 5 year deal at a discounted price for the subscription - Caligreeks is one of them - Its all BS. if you have a problem with the stick only use the Roku,com web site for any questions no one else. Don't call the number its a scam. THE IS NO ROKU SUBSCRIPTION NEEDED PERIOD.
