We have had our Roku device fir several months now and enjoy it very much. A Spectrum tech support guy recommended it when I was having problems getting Spectrum TV app on my Amazon TV. I am OK figuring out tech stuff but not my wife. She picked right up on it and no problem navigating through it. She likes the variety of programs available. So I can highly recommend this product.
The device disconnects from the remote on regular basis. what a pain. the last device I purchased the roku stick, last only a few months.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey Loretta, thanks for taking the time to share. We’d be glad to assist you. This issue may lead to insufficient power supply to the device. Ensure that the video cable is securely connected to the back of your Roku. Additionally, try connecting it to a different HDMI port on your TV and adjust the input source accordingly. In some cases, the USB power provided by the TV is not sufficient to power the device that’s why consider connecting it to the wall outlet. If the issue persists, you can try to plug it into a different television to see if it makes any difference. If you need further assistance, you can contact us at https://support.roku.com/contactus. We hope this helps! Roku Customer Advocate
I think it is criminal how Roku can sell devices that have a life of 3-5 years before Netflix/Roku decide to move on to new software etc that isn't compatible with current devices. Our current roku streaming system is now officially LANDFILL per a Netflix change... it is ridiculously wasteful to create products to last this short amount of time. Disgusting.

Hi there, thank you for sharing your concerns. We truly value your feedback and want to express our understanding of your frustration. Please note that channel providers, such as Netflix, make decisions about app support. They regularly update their apps to ensure performance and security improvements. We recommend reaching out to Netflix for further details on their app support for older devices. At Roku, we strive to create products that last. While it’s disappointing when older models are no longer compatible with the latest apps, the Roku 2 has served well for nearly ten years, and we hope to continue providing your household with great streaming experiences! Thanks to loyal customers like you, we can continue innovating and improving the streaming world. As a tip, you can log into your Roku account at my.roku.com and click on Product Offers to explore exclusive deals on the latest models. Thank you for your continued support, and Happy Streaming!

I have been using Tiki products for a few years now. I bout this one a few months ago. I love this one. The microphone feature makes things so much easier for me. Trying to type out what I'm searching for takes too much timw.
