My tv stopped recognizing my Roku Stick. It took a lot of searching before I found this reasonably price solution. My fear now is, that since remotes do get worn out and do get lost, will there be a reasonably priced "remote only" option?
Our "regular" tv was fine, just needed to add streaming. Roku was ideal for us. Very easy set up and easy to maneuver. The live channels are a bonus if you don't need to have local news.
Typical streaming device. All hooked up, works great and then the brains went out and had to start all over again. This is the third time it’s happened and I just went to bed because I am tired of messing with it for tonight.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there, we appreciate you sending us a review! We're sorry about the experience; this is not what we aim for. In that case, we recommend trying a different HDMI port or doing the setup portion on a different TV to isolate the issue. Additionally, the device can be plugged into your TV's USB port for power or a wall outlet. If you currently use the TV as your power source, try plugging the device into a wall outlet instead. Finally, ensure your remote has a fresh set of new batteries, just in case.
We hope that this gets you up and streaming soon! Roku Customer Advocate
