The range on the remote is fantastic. The other remotes I have laying around do not come close to this one. I did not realized I missed the volume and power button on the remote until I used it for the first time. Great feature. Plays videos from my media server with ease. Overall a great value for the price.

Can't load channels and the ones I can like showtime , to activate the links don't work. Ordered direct tv and Sunday ticket and I can't even load the channels. Says Sunday ticket password is wrong. The only thing that works is net flix . If you do not call me to help me I'm returning this worthless device

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 I've had this Streaming Stick+ (Late 2019) it regularly overheats unless I position the stick against an aluminum sheet that works as a heat-sink. It is not directly attached to or over any other heat generating gear so the ambient temp is normal. And although I'm using the included USB wall wart and extension, it regularly has low power warnings. It is still under Amazon's holiday return time so while I'm not holding my breath, I might try another one. I like the way it works, like the real remote (especially as I am not interested in voice assistants) and if powered off it boots pretty quick.

I own 3 Roku's now. Bought this for the USB to TV connection for power. 1st I LOVE the power button. I always thought the power button was needed so you can shut off the Roku when not in use. Now...mainly bought this for the USB connection for power from TV to reduce the amount of cables I have now behind the TV. Tried the hookup on 2 different TVs and got "Low Power" on both and I would need to plug it in anyway. That defeated the reason why I bought these. So I did send them back the next day. These would be good for a 1st time user though.

It's horrible it has to be plugged in all the time there's hardly any good TV shows or movies on it anything worth a junk you have to pay for so you might as well just have Comcast or AT&T or somebody like that if I can find the receipt I take it back to the store I bought it at Short opinion it's a piece of junk don't fall for their lies.

According to an easy search that we didn't realize we should make before purchase, Roku has had issues with audio distortion for several generations and has made no effort to internally fix the issue. The stated work arounds do not solve the issue. There is no customer service other than a chat with a bot. You have to sign in to use that. Interestingly, after doing so, our system went into complete failure. Controls for the TV stopped working immediately following that service chat, apps had issues loading, audio is still distorting at random. Tomorrow we will go back to Firestick and hope we remember to stay away from Roku products in the future.

This device will not work with a harmony 650 or 665 universal remote. In my opinion this makes it worthless because I now have to use two remotes to watch Roku, one for the TV and sound system, and another one for the Roku. So if you use a harmony remote don't get a Roku stick, get a Roku Premier instead .

I bought three StreamingStick+es. The first one installed like a dream. The second one was on an older TV, so I ended up having to call Tech Support (not a long wait, explained what I needed to do, and voila!). Then came tonight, when I tried to install the third. Despite two TVs working fine, my account no longer exists. Got kicked out of ROKU's help site three times. So now I have two perfectly-operating TVs (well, two Stick+es and the TVs they are attached to performing as expected) and a worthless piece of plastic, along with a really expensive ROKU TV in a box, which I can't justify uncrating when I no longer exist.

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.
