Bought this as an update to my Roku Express. First reason was for updated platform that would show a full schedule for PS Vue app. (My Express just shows current hour and next) Was actually thinking of buying a old PS3 just for the interface, then got this instead and BAM! Problem solved! I now get a full Guide, reaching out a week. Added bonus, its FAST! Loads every app quicker, responds better. Then there's the Remote.. Voice Commands; RF rather than IR, so it can be pointed at the ceiling and still work; AND has Power and Volume that directly controls your TV. (these are IR) A real NICE feature! Over-all very pleased!

I am upgrading from a 2015 device. This thing is much smaller and it has no issues connecting to 5 GHz WiFi and it has no issues keeping up with FHD video streams. I haven't tried UHD streaming, but it doesn't appear that there will be any challenges. I loved how during setup it determined the TV and the volume and power immediately synchronized with the TV. That makes is really easy.

The 4K/HDR* Roku® Streaming Stick®+ is an upgrade from an older Roku model. The older Roku had been experiencing issues like freezing up with WIFI connection problems and having to be rebooted/restarted. This new model works great. Much faster and no connection issues. I was able to connect using the 5G, which seems to work better than the old 2.4G. I like Roku because they are easy to use, with a good remote control, and have tons of channels. I can even get OANN on my Roku. Roku Team, keep up the good work!

I have only had the Roku® Streaming Stick®+ (model 3810) two weeks, so I can't give a long-term, comprehensive review. I can share my limited experience though, which is positive. Initial setup was straightforward and painless. Apps for all of the streaming services associated with my Roku account were automatically installed. The ability of the Stick+ to control TV power and volume is a nice feature. I have used it on two Samsung TVs and it automatically detected and synced with each, and didn't require entering codes or fiddling around. I have two other Roku devices, an original Streaming Stick and a Roku 3. The Stick+ is a LOT faster than the original Stick. The responsiveness of the Stick+ isn't noticeably different from the Roku 3 (which is acceptable). The picture quality is good. I only have 10 mbps internet service, but I have not experienced buffering or any other performance issues. Even when another another device is streaming HD content, both streams work without a hitch. So far it appears to be more robust than a FireTV stick I had (that I gave to a daughter), which often buffered when another stream was active. Unscientific observation, but that's the way it appears to me using the “eye-test”. The bottom line is that I am happy with the Stick+. When I purchased it I actually wanted a hardwired (ethernet) device, but there were none available locally so I went with the Stick+. So far I have no regrets having done so, and I have no reservations in recommending it.

I have a few different Rokus including TVs. I like this one the best. The remote works great unlike the express which you have to point directly at it. It also controls my TV which is a off brand that I have trouble getting remotes to connect to. Overall does the job!

This is my 3rd Roku Stick and it is the best option available. I use on a smart tv and have the internet access to the smart tv turned off because the Roku is much faster than what is built in to the tv. Also the number of apps available for Roku is much better than the smart tv.

Great new Roku, our last one finally died after many years. Happy to get a new one, MUCH faster and love the new format. ONLY PROBLEM: At first I liked the idea of the TV/Volume control on my Roku remote but it was terrible once installed. It controls the TV volume, not the entertainment system speakers. So every time I touched it it turned on the TV volume (which I normally keep muted to use the Panasonic speakers). BIG problem!! And then it also kept turning on the TV after I shut it down for the night!! I would shut down the TV and Roku would put it back on! (over and over again) I panicked at first because there were no instructions as to how to REMOVE this feature once installed. But then I realized i could just install again and told the setup system that "the music stopped" when it didn't. Therefore it was set for a remote that would not operate my TV. Would have given 5 stars on everything except for this issue.

before roku I would lose the connection in the middle of a movie,that is frustrating when you have to search to find where you were in the movie. With roku streaming I very selom lose the connection and roku fins where the movie left off. Roku gives more free channels also. To me, roku is well worth the cost.

Plenty of free channels even without cable access. It took a long time to add my Channels. Allow an hour to two hours. You can always add as you go. Recommendations: do not set up a password prior to adding channels. If wanting truly free channels read the descriptiom details. Some have charge content. Then set up password to ensure no one buys movies and charges to your credit card. Yes, you have to load a C/C.

I was hesitant to go to the Stick platform after years of my Roku 3 unit. I couldn't be happier. The speed and crispness of the Stick+ is awesome and super noticeable going from a 3. I love the TV/player on/off feature and I love private listening mode on my Bluetooth headphones through my Roku app. Great product!
