I bought three Roku for our house several months ago. One quit working so I bought another and so far it is ok. I’ve had to change batteries more than I thought I would but other than that I think they will work ok for us.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi Tim1983, this is a great moment to sit and stream, knowing that you have our Roku device perfectly in your household. To improve and have a much smoother experience, you can also try our Roku app, which you can download for iOS and Android. It has everything you need to control your streaming, search with your voice, enjoy private listening, and quickly launch your most recent channels. It is free to download "The Roku App (Official)."
Thanks again for sharing, and Happy Streaming! Roku customer Advocate
Very easy to install on any TV or monitor. Customization of the menu and available channels is a plus. Ability to place controller behind TV keeps a clean look for display
I loved the device until they upgraded the software. Now local channels have changed and even after I changed zip codes keep going back to wrong zip code. I have reached out to them and received no help. Very disappointed! Thinking about changing services. I have to change to correct zip code and stream thru phone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello, thank you for sharing your concerns regarding the zip code discrepancies affecting local channels on your Roku device. This issue usually stems from how your location is determined. This can be influenced either by the settings on your Roku device, Roku account, or by the location services used by your apps, your channels, or your WiFi network. These services usually use your IP address or your billing address to guess your location, which can sometimes lead to inaccuracies.
To investigate this, please check your city location as reported by your IP address at: https://www.whatismyip.com.
If this doesn’t resolve the issue, please contact us directly with the results so that we may explore other solutions.
Family likes Roku. Saves me expense of cable box. Easy to use remote. Allows me to drop my cable company for TV and migrate to YouTubeTV which is better and cheaper. Roku has great user interface.
