Even if you don't hook this baby up to a 4K TV, you still get higher processing power than the LE family. You get the usual option to power it up by the TV itself via USB or run it down the traditional wall plug. It boots up pretty fast so using the TV as the power source is not as cumbersome as it used to be. Definitely a worthy purchase if you are looking for less wires but still decent processing.

When we retired ten years ago we decided to drop the expense of cable tv. Roku was pretty new to us but we decided to give it a try. We have five tv sets on Roku now and have had other Roku devices in the past. I love this stick with the remote that can turn our non-Roku tv on and off and control the volume. This is something we only got to do with our TCL Roku tv in the past. It was so easy to set up. This one picks up the wifi signal better than the last device did (the set isn’t too close to the wifi source). I highly recommend this stick and remote.

This is my second Roku 4K streaming stick that I have purchased. The previous one lasted me 5 years without any issues. However, about 3 months ago, it stopped working due most likely to a blackout in are neighborhood. When I went on to turn on the Roku it didn't respond. I think the new 4K stick video wise looks even better than the old one it replaced, brighter picture, but can't verify for sure without an A/B comparison. All the features I love on a Roku are there easy to navigate interface , voice recognition, very snappy and quick switching from different channels, and programs with little to no lag. The user experience for me is much better than the Amazon fire stick I used previously. The only real criticism for me is the remote did not include a backlight feature. However, that was solved by buying extra on their site, the Roku backlit remote.

I have 2 of these and they both did the same thing. You can not leave them plugged in or it will destroy them. Many an evenings entertainment interrupted while I have to setup the XBox or another streamer to finish a show. Now have an AppleTV and it never has a problem. My old Roku HD Express never had a problem but I wasted too much money on this 4k stick.

I live on a fixed income, and cable tv had gone so expensive I had to drop it. I was going to an antenna when a friend told me about Roku. I'm very happy with it. I can watch what I want to watch when I want to watch it. Can't do this with cable tv. I knew there had to be another solution to Spectrum, which had priced their service out of my reach. For the most part, I am happy with Roku, but I wish they didn't have so many breaks in the programing for no reason.

The Roku Stick was easy to set up. We changed from cable and a few streaming apps to full streaming. Connecting it to the TV was was easy and the Roku remote controls the TV. The only downside is the delay when the system starts up, and a slight delay when getting to the first app. The app icons could be a bit smaller too. Overall very pleased.

Your example describes it perfectly. I did purchase about a month ago. I am happy for many reasons. I'm saving money. We are using more channels than we di d with cable. It has been an all around great purchase.I have purchased two and about to purchase a third

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.

wanted to add that to my Android 64" tv This Sony set likes to freeze added the Roku stick as the other units in my home all have the roku and t is FANTASTIC love the shows and can stream any and all that is on the newer TV Recommend to anyone who love streaming or just watching television

I wasn't sure I'd like using Roku all the time, but I do. There seems to be much more available then I had initially thought. One suggestion on the remote is to have it be a touch bigger & a bit of light within to see the buttons easier when watching in a lower lit room.
