Bought this a few weeks ago and have been having problems with it occasionally. Most of the time it works pretty good but once in a while there are one or two shows that it will just stop playing. It will not let you play any more of that show until a later date.

Bought the new Roku stick because it had apps not available on the amazon firestick and I absolutely love it! I don't even use the firestick anymore. The homepage is not so overwhelming with so much stuff and it doesnt cram amazon prime down your throat. Main page is not overcrowded and very easy to navigate. I have not had it buffer or crash even once to the point where I had to restart it the way I always have to with the firesick! I also love the search function. very easy to use. I really love the remote too. Volume and mute buttons on the side makes them so very easy to find and use. The remote is small and light and buttons are easy to find. I was really surprised by this cool little remote! I highly recommend for anyone who favors simple yet very effective over complicated and difficult to use.

We were using a zumo and it was too difficult for my mother-in-law to navigate. Switching to the Roku was a great decision because she can get to her shows and since we already used the Roku we know how to help her. One of the things we love best about the Roku is the search function not within the Roku app but within the Roku device.

I have 2 sticks, one in the office and one in the living room (which I just bought 1 month ago or so), and the 2 often do not respond to the control, the one in the office I first thought was the battery because I already have more time with that, but the same thing keeps happening to it. And the same thing happens in the living room and many times it freezes, and I have to disconnect it from the power so it can work again.

I have two Roku streaming devices and like them very much. I think they are much better than the smart tv app streaming applications. I have never paid for streaming movies and the Roku provides me with a very diverse category of free movies with ads—which I don’t mind.

The unit continually drops network connection with the router located 4 feet away. We are lucky to get through 1 hour of streaming. We cannot access the home screen with the remote so the only solution is to power cycle tge Roku. Moved another 4k 2021 roku in its place and it holds the Internet connection continuously.

This piece of crap continuously shuts itself down, and yes the 20 minute shutdown has been disabled. You constantly have to get up an unplug to restart after it freezes. I have owned multiple Roku devices, but this is the biggest piece of crap in history. Don’t buy this garbage. It sucks. I will NEVER, EVER purchase another Roku ANYTHING again. this is total garbage.

We have an older 65" Samsung smart TV that had a limited amount of streaming app capability. Our daughter got us the Roku for Christmas and it brought our TV into the current decade! Tons of content and excellent quality of the stick and remote plus exceptional picture clarity. Our tv was top line when new so it rivals current tvs with the sharp picture from the Roku 4k. My rating would have been 5 stars if the pairing instructions for the remote were clear. The online help from Roku was an endless loop of Catch 22 - after a lengthy search of other forums, this is the trick - Reset the stick and tv to startup mode and begin the sequence. When it's time to pair the remote, hold it within 1" of the stick and press the pairing buttons and hold for 45 seconds. The remote will pair and you're ready to go!

This Product is awesome. I dumped Sattelite TV. My barn is 350ft from house and no TV. I bought a ROKU stick and plugged it into my TV in barn and now I can watch whats Im watching in the house without tearing up yard having a cable trenched to barn.

Very pleased [so far] with the Roku stick... It provides a variety of channels from mainstream viewing to interesting movies that don't "break the bank." I highly recommend it for people looking to save money and who are on modest budgets. Thank you.
