I had my first Roku for quite a while and it was time for an upgrade. It's smaller and more efficient than the other and easy to use. I'm satisfied with the purchase.
There is no way to control sound. You have to use two remotes
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Yolanda, we appreciate you choosing our products and sharing your thoughts. Please be advised that some devices come equipped with a Simple Remote. These lack TV controls (Power and Volume), so you must use your TV remote to control these functions. The current line of new Roku devices is limited to the HD Roku Express. In addition, in Roku model releases, the non-plus(+) models are generally equipped with a simple remote. However, if you wish to have functional access to your TV's power and volume buttons using the Roku remote, we recommend the Roku Voice remote. You can refer to this link to compare the remote features at https://www.roku.com/products/accessories/compare. If you have any future inquiries or need assistance, please contact us through our website at https://support.roku.com/contactus. Happy Streaming! Roku Customer Advocate
Bought it when I was getting rid of cable lots of neat shows to watch just wish I could get the full Fox News with live shows on it. I need a cable provider to get it.
