I was using a Roku box that was probably 8 years old with the original remote. Performance wise I can't tell a difference between it and the stick but the new remote is night and day. Works under covers and I don't have to point it directly at a box. Still gets lost. LOL I don't know why but a Roku remote gets lost easier then any other remote known to mankind.

I bought the most recent one a month ago, and like all the others, I love it. I have 3 of them and I purchased 3 others for gifts. The recipients all love them too. I especiay like the fact that 2 of my 3 TVs are able to power the stick without using up an outlet and not having to run a charger box (The third TV will be upgraded soon.) Another feature I love is the voice remote and its' features. The only downside I've found is when I want to rearrange the apps (channels) on the home screen I can only do 1 at a time. Hopefully in the future that will change.

Bought 2 of these back in December when we cut the cable. One worked just as it should, second one had Roku error 022 (which means defective & there isn’t anything you can do but return it). Replacement so far works as it should. It has some nice features like voice commands and the sheer number of apps it supports. One thing I think that NEEDS to be in the documentation is how to properly stop the streaming so your data doesn’t keep running in the background. We almost went over our 1.2TB data limit in less than 2 weeks! (and yes, the bandwidth cap limit option was checked in the settings). I do recommend these devices but be aware of the potential of getting a defective unit (our bad unit was assembled in Vietnam) and be diligent about stopping the streaming in the proper manner.

I had trouble with an old Fire stick, and even more trouble with a new Fire stick, so I switched to an old Roku and that was so much better. Then I upgraded to the 4K from Roku and it's even better - hidden behind the tv, better remote, more functionality, and FAST. This is truly an improvement over everything I've tried before!

I replaced a fire stick with the Roku 4K stick. It is faster to load apps, the advertising is less annoying, and the picture is nice. We only have 50G dsl and have had no issues with lag or buffering. A great value and upgrade from the previous device.

The Roku Streaming stick brings versatility to streaming by allowing one to add streaming channels that are not available on some smart TVs. The Roku stick also gave new life to an outdated television that discontinued updates. We have used our Roku stick in our class B van and have streamed via Roku across the country. 5 ⭐️’s

I bought my first Roku about 7 years ago. But after testing it, I put it in a drawer and never used it. This year, after buying a Smart TV for my bedroom, I tried the old Roku on that new TV and discovered I liked Roku's interface better than Sony's. So I bought a new 4K Streaming Stick. Liked it so much I bought 3 more -- for my Living Room and my Office, and one as a gift to a friend who has a non-smart TV. I'm happy with them all, and my friend is thrilled.

The Roku 4k stick is so simple to install, power up, and add your person settings/preferences. It hodes behind the TV so there's no box sitting next to the TV or stck on its side. Plus I bought during the black Friday sales and saved 40% on the price! Way to go Roku!

Over all it’s ok but not impressed that you have to buy subscriptions to channels. I’m really not impressed that you can’t get local news channels unless you live in a real big city and there’s only a few. The other thing I’m not impressed with is the there is no REAL LIVE channels, the tv you view is old. By the time you buy channels then compare price with cable, satellite you pay the same.

Both first unit and replacement unit have occasional video freeze, while audio continues to play in multiple apps. only a few feet away from network router extender. so it's not that (as suggested in other posts about freezing). Wanted to move it to a small tv in another room where we have a non 4k streaming stick that has Voice remote support for the TV brand (Tyler), But the 4k stick does not list this brand in its list of supported tv's. Non 4k stick works fine on both TV's, so problem is only with 4k version, Very disappointed, Will likely get an Amazon firestick if they don't fix this soon (hopeful there's a software path forthcoming). VERY long thread on the forum about this issue, so I am not alone having this problem.
