This is the 5th Roku device I have bought in the last 7 or 8 years and I am the most disappointed in this one because of one change. Forcing me to use my remote or it will kick me out of the channel I am watching. Stop trying to control what I watch and for how long. It's bad enough some of the channels are doing it but you have shortened it. Stop it. Oh and while I'm at it, quit adding SLING AND SPECTRUM to my channel list!!! If I wanted to add them I would!!! Those 2 things alone have me considering trying another streaming device!

I bought 4 Roku's to watch TV with the Spectrum TV app. My in-laws have this throughout their house and they really like it however, I cannot get install it on my brand new devices. Roku won't let me log into the Spectrum TV app. The Spectrum TV app is the sole reason I bought 4 of these devices instead of the amazon FireTV's that I currently own. My Roku devices are useless to me bc Roku decides when to block apps from being used.

No complaints about the device other than, once again, the issues I have with the remote. This is my third Roku and every time I buy one I look at the competition first because I hate the Roku remote. Way too much space is dedicated to four buttons that if you accidentally press they will disrupt your show. Roku can't put numbers on the remote but they can sell it out to the highest bidder? It stinks. I do end up buying Rokus because it is the most content neutral streaming device and has all the apps I want.

Now that it's up and working, I like it fine. Seems to be faster than the one it replaced. Did have some problems in setting it up. Any idiot could get it plugged into the TV and a wall socket. My issue came with the On Screen Setup/Activation. This dummy could have used clearer directions. Never did get it onto the best WiFi network, but that could be a router problem. I don't see that this model has any more features than the old one, but that's OK. My wife and I love Roku. Now we can rot in front of the TV watching what we like rather than junk that we don't. We have it on three TV's.

The new TV volume & on/off controls on the remote help me to use just one remote for my TV watching. This improves my cutting the cable experience. Future Remote Improvements: Please add a source button so I can switch from DVD watching back to Roku. Also provide light up buttons for easy use in darkness. Make the remote backward compatible with older Roku devices and sell it separately to enhance the use of those devices. Stick/Box improvement: Turn off Roku with TV on/off so it does not continue to play Netflix shows when the TV is off.

Since cutting the cable cord a few years ago, we have been receiving our TV signals from either a local antenna or from the Internet using Roku. This is our fourth Roku and each new Roku has been an improvement over the previous model. The Roku Streaming Stick+ is faster and has more features than our older ones. We especially like the TV power button and the volume control that the new remote has. This has enabled us to put the TV's remote away and use only the Roku remote. The speed at which the Roku Streaming Stick+ navigate from one program source to another is improved as well. While it still is not as fast as changing local channels or even cable channels, it is getting better. Also the Roku provides a good viewing experience with almost no buffering or waiting for a program to slowly load.

I bought this upgraded Roku stick because the stick I had was having problems. Losing signal 5 or 6 times a day. I knew I had to re-set the channels with my codes & passwords, but I didn't realize how hard that would be. Then came the realization that all the movies I had already purchased in my Fandango Library & on the Watchlist were gone. To get them back required a password for the Fandango site, but guess what...I never had one cause it was automatically on my Roku & never set up to begin with. Thus, my dilemma. So feedback would be appreciated to alleviate this problem. Otherwise....works great.

The streaming stick seems to be a complication of what the streaming stick as opposed to an improvement. The device is very disappointing and frequently has issues staying connected to a strong Wifi system. The smart phone app is equally as disappointing and complex. Money wasted.

This is my 3rd ROKU device and definitely the worst I've bought. The "streaming stick" is fine but the remote is absolutely terrible. I'm right-handed and every time I pick the remote up, I push the "Mute" or "Volume" button. What a hassle! Theses buttons should be on the face of the remote and not on the side. DO NOT BUY the "ROKU Streaming Stick+" for HD/4K/HDR! You'll be grateful you took my advice.

I have my tv mounted on the wall and have all the wiring running through the wall so no wires are visible. So i thought the streaming stick would work great i just plig it into the hdmi and the power in the usb port on the tv for power. WRONG! I get the low power message! The usb power cord that comes with it is not long enough to reach the outlet.
