I have now purchased 3 of the 4K streaming sticks because they are easy to use, they don’t lose internet connection like the basic model. Once I registered the first one, when I went to set up tv #2 it transferred all of my channel choices and passwords so that I didn’t have to go through that again. It was so convenient.

I have had Roku TVs and devices for more than 11 years. During that time I have been extremely happy with the devices. Until... In 2022 I bought three new 4K streaming Sticks. The devices themselves work but the remotes are awful! At least Once a week I have to reset the remotes. When they "die" they can only turn the TV on and operate the volume. I have to restart the streaming stick and go through the process of either pressing the button under in the battery compartment and waiting five seconds. Or, resetting the device completely and Going to the webpage to choose apps again, yadda yadda. After the 10 minutes it takes for this process, it rearranges the order in which you have your apps which is a pain! It probably takes another 10 minutes every time I have to reset the remote. Ugh! While I love the device, seriously, do something about the remote Roku!

The streaming it’s great and comes handy because i have a Samsung tv and i have cable company and want to download the app to my tv and receive a message that tv didn’t have enough memory to download the app so in my case that’s how i learned about Roku and able to stream live tv but the part that I find difficult is the remote doesn’t have key numbers to change to a favorite channel on tv .

I'm glad you contacted me. The remote has problems. The button for on/off doesn't work, occasionally if I hold it and also the home button it comes on or shuts off. I'm now unable to turn it off at all. Also the 3 side buttons aren't functioning, volume up/down and mute. Please advise .a new remote or something I'm unaware of to fix?

Impossible to work with if your in an area with weak internet. I cant even navigate the menu to change the internet connection to be able to use the device. It automatically connects to recognized internet sources, making it a completely useless piece of ewaste. Volume rocker also doesn't work 90% of the time.

I bought this Roku after another dispute between network TV & our satellite carrier. Easy enough to get it up & running. I got the local channel we wanted, network has some connection issue. I've watched Beverly Hillbillies, Eight Are Enough, and a couple other oldies I haven't noticed on satellite. I still get newer shows that I like.

I know I needed to replace an old roku 2 I had in the bedroom it just wasn't picking up some of the showso I bought this one for my living room which is my main TV super easy to set up super fast accessing the roku shows and I like the fact that you can speak to the remote. Also when typing in passwords it's really fast not like the old ones it seems like it took forever

We’ve used Roku for a very long time, decided to upgrade to this as previous version’s remote physically broke (not Roku’s fault). We set this up and the remote had issues connecting to control tv as well. Eventually got it working, but then the regular buttons stopped working, had to completely reset the system. Was working for awhile, but randomly stopped working again. Spent a lot of time troubleshooting it to work without resetting it. Wish there was a better way to deal with reconnecting the remotes on the newer models (no connect button physically on remote/no reset option in menu). The whole point of getting a newer model was to not have remote issues…

Overall it is a nice player. Selected titles load quickly. Faster than Chromecast with Google TV. Roku remote is of better quality too. The disappointment is that the remote can not be programmed to control the audio level an a A/V receiver. I still need another remote to adjust the volume. Very backward in today's world. Both Fire stick an Chromecast with Google TV remotes do this.

The Roku Streaming Stick 4K is a faster device than the previous Express or low end devices. The blue tooth version works better than the IR version. The channels flip through the selection quickly and the selected channel comes up quickly. I wish the Roku TV set that I have would do the same. Seems like they need that technology in their TVs.
