this is a replacement roku. the reason i had to buy it is because the 1st one kept overheating and not working. This new one seems a lot better. Only issue I with it is how unforgiving the range is when you want to turn roku on or off. You really need to fine-point the Roku remote and mine is across a long room. That is frustrating.
Easy to set up and connect. So much free content and great free trial offers. Simple remote to use, love the app remote and compact size. Customer service is a bit tricky to work with, but we got there in the end.
Super fast!! Some times the sound and the picture does not sync up right. I all ways have to restart it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hey Ritchy, thanks for getting in touch. If your Roku is having audio and video syncing issues, there could be a few reasons for it. It might be related to the content, transmission, or the device itself. Here's what you can do: If the problem continues across different channels, try restarting your Wi-Fi router and your Roku device. You can do this by going to Home > Settings > System > Power. If you don't see a Power submenu, just move on to the next step and select System restart. Also, make sure that your Roku has the latest software version installed to ensure the best performance and take advantage of the newest features. You can find instructions on how to update your device by following this link: https://support.roku.com/article/208755668. If you need further help, feel free to contact us at support.roku.com/contactus.
We appreciate your feedback. Happy Streaming! Roku Customer Advocate
Roku itself is great so far, but the controller is a bit small and having the volume buttons on side are kinda in the way, I’m constantly muting or changing volume when picking up or holding controller and I wish there were 2 additional buttons, one for a Guide to go directly to the live tv guide and one for back, to go directly to the station you were previously on.
