We purchased three Roku systems for our TVs. All of us are having remote control issues. The remote control stops working. We cannot change the channels, adjust the volume, or turn the TV off; all three remotes drain the batteries so quickly. We are not happy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this unit that has dual Wi-Fi frequencies to replace an older single frequency unit. With a later generation CPU and 5 Ghz Wi-Fi the new unit is much faster. Very pleased with the update.
We have a remote cabin and bought Roku to watch TV with the new internet service and it helped the family when it was to cold to go out. So we got home and got a Roku for the kid’s bedroom. They love it.
